Anti-aging cosmetics that age?
I have always wondered what the miracle of anti-aging creams and cosmetics were. Since the industry thrives on consumers, I decided to check this out. One of the questions I have had about these products are obviously the ingredients. I have heard that anything with the wax paraben in it is actually an aging agent. Is that the case? If not, why are so many products being marketed as "paraben free?" So, if that is the case why is it in so many consumer anti-aging products nationwide and why do we women eat it up like it's factual? Here is a link to a product on the market today: http://www.murad.com/age-reform-night-regimen.jsp

Very interesting. I'm not really into make-up and anti-aging stuff, so I've never actually heard of that, but interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have never noticed products being labeled "paraben free," but when I did a Google search for paraben it brought up product after product saying (like you said) "paraben free." So I decided to try to find out why paraben is so bad. I found this site: http://www.terressentials.com/truthaboutparabens.html They claim that paraben absorbed through the skin could mess up your "your hypothalamus, your ovaries, your thyroid—virtually every system in your body." Another site that I found claims that these disruptions caused from parabens could lead to different forms of cancer. They also say that parabens are found in shampoos, hair dye, lotions & makeup.

ReplyDeleteThat's very interesting! I have actually never heard of paraben's, but it sounds like they can be very harmful to your health. It's kind of scary that products like this can be so accessible when they are so harmful to our health!
