Are these dangerous toxins in your skin care? Check out these 13 most harmful…….

Take a look at the label on your products – these common skin care ingredients are a toxic collection of petroleum byproducts, chemicals and sulfates that cause allergic reactions – but also it is important to know – that everything that you put on your skin is absorbed into your body and ends up in your blood stream!  (The same way your skin soaks up the medicine patches.)

The skin absorbs the ingredients of the products you put on your skin – including the toxic ones, and that can cause health problems at a later date.  Also these harsh ingredients in your skin care can also destroy your complexion, and make you look years older.

Below are the ingredients best avoided in cosmetics and how to easily identify them on a product ingredient listing. Bookmark and save this list so you can refer to it while shopping. And remember, no clear or readily available ingredient listing on the label? Back away from the product.
