Doctors and dermatologists are often at a loss to find a reason for the allergies that people have these days. They might identify the problem as something you ate, or too much exposure to a chemical, or simply, pollen. It's what is commonly used that is rarely blamed for the increasing incidence of allergies these days.
You might say that you use 'hypoallergenic' skin creams and the like. All this really means is that hypoallegenic skincare products have been tested and found to cause fewer allergic reactions. But the word 'hypoallergenic' should not be the sole reason to trust the safeness of the product.
Every single skincare product in the market that is produced on a large scale, even the well-respected brands, has to have some amount of synthetic chemical preservatives in it. Most of these belong to a family of compounds called parabens.
Parabens are comparatively easy and cheap to produce and are odourless and tasteless, which makes them perfect for use in skin creams and lotions. In addition, companies prefer using parabens because they have not been found to actually cause diseases like cancer and kidney failure.
The truth about all man-made chemicals is that they have a propensity to cause all sorts of health problems, from nervous disorders to colorectal problems and cancer, kidney diseases to glandular issues. The patients of course might suffer to differing degrees but the fact remains that where skincare products are concerned - we have a choice.
We really don't need to inflict them on ourselves. Those of you with sensitive skin who have gone around layering your skin thickly with sunscreen lotion to protect it must pause and look at the labels. Older women who believe fervently in the aging skin moisturizers they use, must stop and think about what they might suffer as a result..
So what are the options? Since there is a felt need for hypoallergenic and safe skincare products, it is best to look for paraben-free skincare. The chemicals are identified by their codes or sometimes their names on products that you buy. They have names like isobutylparaben, and propylparaben or codes likes E218 (methylparaben). Avoid these altogether and instead go in for products whose ingredients seem like edible items.
Look for Manuka honey, wakame extract, grape seed oil, almond oil, and natural Vitamin E. Organic products would of course be even safer to use. The interesting aspect of using some of these, especially nano-lipobelle H EQ10, Cynergy TK, and Phytessence Wakame, is they also do a great job of looking after your aging skin issues.
To review, synthetic chemical preservatives cause all sorts of illnesses so it's best to move towards 100% pure skincare. Once you find a natural product that suits you, you will leave behind skin problems like irritation and inflammation as well as make a healthy choice for your body.
