Personal Care Products 
We are all intimate with personal care products. You shampoo your hair. Wash your hands. Lather your body when you shower. Clean the intimate parts of your body. Use deodorants. Shave both face, legs and underarms. Brush your teeth. Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It is made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues that guard underlying muscles and organs. Skin pigmentation varies among populations, and skin type can range from dry skin to oily skin. Skin acts as the interface with the surroundings, and plays the most important role in protecting your body against pathogens. Its other main functions are insulation and temperature regulation, sensation, and synthesis of vitamin D and the protection of vitamin B folats. Keep Skin Healthy Sunlight, water and air play an important role in keeping your skin healthy. Most people in the world are concentrated in cities. Your skin is the subjected to bombardment by air pollution, chemically treated cleaning water, less fresh air and less sunshine. It's important, therefore to keep your skin clean. The problem with this is that, most commercial products available at the supermarket contain harmful ingredients? There are often ingredients used in personal care products, shampoos, conditioners, skin care, deodorants, cosmetics, toothpaste and soaps which have been reported to be irritant or potentially harmful or even carcinogenic in some circumstances. It is strongly recommended that you check the labels of your family personal care products and look for the following ingredients which may have potentially harmful effects in some cases: Sodium lauryl sulphate or sodium laureth sulphate:
Formalin: - what are you putting on your skin?
Mineral oil:
These substances are most often used in products that you would least expect to find harmful and potentially dangerous ingredients. Some of the products you will find these ingredients in are:
These ingredients can be detrimental at the area of exposure. Therefore, shampoos may cause dermatitis (dandruff) and skin care products may cause dehydration and premature aging. But there are many other dangerous ingredients in other products. mouthwash=gin!?!?! Talc in powder has been reported as a probable cancer-causing agent. Alcohol, which is used in many mouthwashes has been potentially linked to oral cancer. Aluminum, which is in many anti-deodorants and can come from other sources may be linked to Alzheimer's disease. Cosmetics usually have few beneficial ingredients and may contain potentially harmful ones such as some colouring agents in lipsticks. Many nail polishes incorporate toxic ingredients and volatile agents like acrylic and acetone. Warning! All these ingredients may expose you and your family to unnecessary free radical attack. Thus the balance can be pushed towards you contracting free radical disease. The best way to reduce your risk is to decrease or preferably eliminate these types of ingredients from your everyday product usage. Do some research for yourself. Go to the supermarket and find out how many personal care products have these ingredients. You may have to search further than the supermarket to overcome this dilemma. It's also pretty common to use commercially made natural or synthetic cosmetics to treat the appearance of your face and the condition of your skin, such as pore control and black head cleansing. Oily skins also need to be cleansed regularly with a mild soap solution. Afterward, you'd use a body lotion to recondition your clean skin, as you'd use to treat dry skin. Hygiene With continual hygienic cleansing, we're subjecting our bodies on a daily basis to potentially harmful products contained in the commercial products we purchase.
