If Looks Could Kill – What Toxic Beauty Ingredients Should You Watch Out For?
Think back for a moment about your skincare and beauty routine this morning – which products did you use?
- Toothpaste?
- Mouthwash?
- Shower Gel?
- Shampoo?
- Conditioner?
- Deodorant
- Cleanser?
- Toner?
- Moisturiser?
- Makeup?
Some women say, by the time they’ve totalled up their individual products including the above and soaps, serums, concealers and more, they could be exposing their bodies to up to 27 products a day. That’s phenomenal!
It’s not a bad thing to want to make the best of ourselves and look good, but how does your skincare and beauty routine affect your chemical body burden?
Just out of interest ….
Before you bought your current skincare and beauty products – did you think to cast your eyes over the ingredients list?
No well, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
STOP RIGHT NOW …. and take a look at the eye-opening Infographic below ….

And rush to check out your current products on your bathroom shelves – see how they fare in terms of harmful ingredients.
I’m sure the infographic above will enlighten you, make you think, and give you some “food for thought” before you spend your hard-earned money on skincare and beauty products next time.

Innocent Until Proven Guilty
In the unregulated personal care industry the motto is “innocent until proven guilty”.
The industry standard tends to be “nothing is toxic and if it is, it’s only in trace amounts.”
Imagine if everyday we keep innocently applying and re-applying layer upon layer of skincare and makeup creating a toxic load on our skin.
Something has to eventually break, but when?
Until then, it’s up to us to clean up our beauty routines – or suffer the consequences!
Where Can You Find Anti-Ageing Clean Beauty & Skincare Without “Nasties” Or Toxins?
Aah, well that can sometimes be a problem – as they’re not always that easy to find.

So that’s a lot of products to be scouring through!
There are beauty products making claims to “defy” age, minimise pores, block pollution, plump skin, promise radiance, illumination, hydration, brightening and perfecting ….
(Ooh, that’s an exhaustive list!)
And, when all is said and done are the ones claiming to be natural and wholesome as natural and wholesome as they are making themselves out to be?
It’s knowing just who we can trust.
I’m sorry to say, but there’s no one clear path of rules for clean beauty, much like there’s no one clear path to wellness.
