Millions of health enthusiasts around the world now check everything they eat or drink, including the medicines they use, to see whether their composition contains any harmful substances.
However, if you went into their bathroom, started opening the cabinets and read the ingredients of the cosmetic products they use, you would discover an interesting fact.
Namely, that their cosmetics contain many of the toxins they try to avoid when consuming products.
The irony is that the skin is the largest organ and, like the digestive system, it also “consumes” — or rather absorbs — the substances applied to it.
In fact, substances applied to the skin can sometimes harm the body more than if they were eaten.
Why applying substances to the skin is dangerous
When you eat foods or take medicines that contain toxins, these are usually present in minute amounts; otherwise you would quickly become ill and know something was wrong.
That’s why food manufacturers strictly control the composition of foods so that individual harmful substances do not exceed permitted amounts.
However, the products we apply to our hair, nails, face, feet, hands or even intimate areas are not regulated.
As a result, manufacturers put whatever they want into cosmetics and no government bodies check their composition or set maximum allowed contents for these substances.
Moreover, in the case of body lotions, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, antiperspirants, make-ups and other cosmetic products, people literally coat large areas of their skin with them.
In this way they are absorbed and large doses of toxins enter the bloodstream. From there they travel to various organs and tissues where they can accumulate.
Overloading organs with toxins from cosmetics
These substances are a huge burden for the human body, especially on your detoxification organs such as the liver, kidneys and also the skin itself.
The body tries to detoxify, but because of this overload it cannot. It is literally covered with a toxic coating that prevents it.
It’s similar to wondering why you can’t breathe properly when you’re covered with a blanket. Or, if you don’t sweep up all the dust on the floor and then wonder why you’re suffering from various allergies.
Your skin is the largest organ. It needs to be able to sweat properly. It also needs enough sunlight to produce vitamin D. It needs to breathe!
Remember one thing: If the ingredients of your cosmetics are not edible, then you should not apply them to your skin!
The 6 most dangerous substances in cosmetics
Here follow the 6 most commonly used and at the same time most dangerous substances that people put on their skin today and then wonder why they suffer from inflammations, rashes, skin allergies or cancer.
1. Petroleum is an industrial chemical (a liquid mixture of hydrocarbons) commonly found in creams, baby oils, body lotions for children and adults, sunscreens and other cosmetic products. It is toxic to the human body — it blocks other toxins in the body, prevents the skin from breathing and sweating, and leads to inflammation, chronic itching and cancer.
2. Talcum powder is commonly found in baby powders, popular adult powders and foot powders.
3. Lead, a known neurotoxin, is often found in lipsticks.
4. Parabens are chemicals that easily penetrate the skin and are relatively common in cosmetics. Their problem is that they mimic various hormones, cause allergies and also disrupt the endocrine system.
5. Phthalates are most often found in moisturizers, perfumes, nail polishes, soaps and hair sprays. In women they increase the risk of diabetes and in men they reduce sperm production.
6. Aluminum is typical for deodorants and antiperspirants. It is known to cause breast cancer and lymph node cancer in areas closest to the armpit (this is no coincidence).
Start protecting yourself
Currently over 70,000 chemicals are approved for the food and cosmetic industries. Many of them have toxic effects on the body.
When you unknowingly take in toxins by applying them to your skin, you feed chronic inflammation, your immune system weakens and you literally invite cancer.
You don’t need a doctorate in medicine, dermatology or biology to realize this.
Go home and check all your cosmetic products to see if they contain the listed chemicals. If they do, throw them away and get others, preferably organic quality.
Which other products to watch out for
From toxic air fresheners to scented candles, people fill their homes with poisons on a daily basis and then wonder why they have health problems.
People also put various flea and other parasite treatments on their pets, and then wonder why cats or dogs die from leukemia after 5 or 7 years.
People spray their gardens and plots with Roundup (the most toxic herbicide on the planet) against weeds, which then gets on their hands, domestic animals or food, and then they don’t understand why they got cancer.
People literally wrap themselves in insect repellents and cannot understand why later cancer developed on those areas of skin. Well, why do you think?
People smear themselves all summer with toxic creams and sunscreens, introducing carcinogens into their bodies through them, instead of responsibly exposing themselves to beneficial sunlight.
Conclusion
Stop wondering what went wrong in your life and fix it.
Your body is the temple of your soul. Protect it!
