Safe Skin Care - Part 5

This is the last segment about Safe Skin Care. This information comes from a brochure from Safe Cosmetics. This part discusses labeling and men. Your money speaks so powerfully when you search for safe, healthy products. And your body will thank you by staying healthier and stronger.

9. MEN ARE NOT IMMUNE TO THESE PROBLEMS.
Two products marketed to men to color gray hair (EBL GreyBan and Grecian Formula 16) contain lead acetate, which can harm fertility and impact the development of a child before birth. Clairol Herbal Essences True Intense Hair Color for Men is among the highest concern hair color products in Skin Deep. Some after-shave lotions, antidandruff shampoos, tooth whiteners, sunless tanning products, men’s hair-removal products and colognes are also in the highest-concern category. Skin Deep lists many safer alternatives in each category.


10. THE WORD “NATURAL” ON A PRODUCT LABEL DOESN’T MEAN IT’S SAFE—OR NATURAL.
Neutrogena After Sun Treatment with Natural Soy has one of the highest hazard ratings of the lotions in Skin Deep. What's so "natural" about a product with more than 10 different ingredients that raise health concerns? Neutrogena is owned by Johnson & Johnson, which markets its products as superior because of their "natural" properties and recommendations from health-care providers. Another example: Barielle 10 Piece Natural Nail Care System contains several ingredients of high concern including dibutyl phthalate, fragrance and urea, despite the word “natural” in the product name.


My suggestion, use the Skin Deep: Safe Cosmetics Database. I have learned so much from their information. Shop for safer products. I do recommend a product line that is Certified Organic, Miessence. This company has triggered a passion in me to share with you what I am learning.

Let me tell you some tips on how to give yourself a manicure. You can give yourself a professional manicure at home. All you need to do is search simple tools and tips of the professional manicurists use. Do it for 1 or 2 times and then it would be very easy for you, such that you can do it once in a week with out any difficulty. Mini Manicure is a quick file. In mini manicure they do shape & polish and a deeply relaxing hand massage.
