Harmful Beauty Products?

Are your beauty products harming you? Here are some common problems we should be aware of!

Nail Varnishes

A must have for women is gorgeous nails!  Unfortunately, some nail polishes contain a very harmful ingredient, formaldehyde.  In countries such as Japan, Canada and Europe, this cancer-causing ingredient has been proven to be unsafe for use and banned!  Luckily, there are brands that make the promise to be formaldehyde-free, so be sure to check out the ingredients before buying.

Skin Complexion Creams

Hydroquinone, kolic acid, retinoic acid and mercury are just a few of harmful ingredients that can be found in any normal face cream.  Beware that hydroquinone is reported to contain a strong bleaching effect.  You already know how harmful mercury is, so be aware that it has been reported to be in some face creams.  Here is one more scary thing to look out for, the combination of kolic and retinoic acid makes the skinsun intolerant, meaning.. bye bye sunny days! Try iSClinical’s White Lightening Serum, that helps lighten the safe way!

Hair Removal Products

Yes, yes, we all want smooth legs and perfect underarms! However, hair removing creams may not be the answer.  Certain hair removal creams contain potassium thiogycolate and calcium hydroxide, which may cause nasty burns if used without carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions.  I say, just grab your trusty old razor and soap and voila! Smooth legs and pits without the burns. Read more
