READ THE INGREDIENTS
Look - here’s the truth - the words “organic”, “pure”, “natural” mean nothing in the beauty world. The proof is only in what the product is made of.
Ever wonder why some companies make it very difficult to find a full list of ingredients? It’s because they don’t want you to know!
Did you know that it takes just 26 seconds for a product you apply to your skin to go into your bloodstream? 70% gets absorbed and chemicals and toxins are small enough to pass through the blood brain barrier and placentia.
LOOK FOR THE FIRST 5 INGREDIENTS
The first FIVE ingredients make up 75-95% of the product. From the 6th onwards, the concentrations start to be low. So low that most do not matter.
The FIRST FIVE must be ingredients you recognize and know (plant-based). If you do not recognize them, they are most likely synthetic or chemicals.
Fillers, emulsifiers, preservatives, binders, and other toxic ingredients will make up a good percentage of the remaining volume which leaves very little room for the good stuff your skin craves… food.
Natural skin-foods include: olive oil, tamanu, peppermint, hemp seed, raspberry seed oils, and more plant-powered beauty.
AVOID WATER-BASED PRODUCTS
Did you do a double take? It sounds counterintuitive, but water in your skincare will dehydrate your skin and cause premature aging.
Why? Most skincare companies use tap water that contains allergens, drug waste, radioactive waste, bacteria, and even fluoride (yes, it’s not enough just to switch tooth pastes!), and other ingredients that can sabotage your skin and whole-body health.
Water dehydrates your skin from the inside making wrinkles, age spots, discolorations, and lines more visible. It accelerates the aging of your skin while weakening the collagen and elastin network that supports younger-looking skin.
Instead, super-power your skin with nutrient-rich oils and waxes to keep moisture inside your skin and support your collagen and elastin network.
