Top 5 Reasons To Go Green With Your Beauty Routine
by Robin Adler
Hi! This is Robin Adler with Toxicbeautyblog.com and I am here today to share with you all the 5 most important reasons why you should be going green with your beauty routine.
1. The ingredients in the products you use on a daily basis are absorbed directly into your bloodstream. Many people believe the product stays on the top layer of skin. This is mistaken. Anything you put on your skin is absorbed right into the body. We have been using many of the products every single day for years and years. This can lead to a large build up in the body. Many of the toxins in commercial beauty products have been found in cells and organs and are linked to serious diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease.
2. Pay now so you can avoid paying later. What do I mean by this? Sure, you can save money by buying the $2 shampoo, but the dangerous ingredients in it may cause you serious health problems, heartache, and some serious dough down the line. Some people claim it’s just too expensive to go organic with their cosmetics. Well, I simply tell people to change a little bit at a time. Do what you can and don’t feel overwhelmed. Sometimes it’s even easier and more affordable to make your own products. If that’s not an option for you, there are many affordable organic lines which are safer choices for you and your family, such as Aubrey Organics.

3. Commercial cosmetics, even ones specializing in anti-aging, actually age you faster. The synthetic ingredients in many cosmetics assist you in the aging process, the exact opposite of what you want. By switching to natural and organic cosmetics, you are helping yourself slow down the aging process by treating your skin to safe, pure ingredients.
4. Cut out skin irritation and allergies. A lot of people think it’s normal to develop a rash or itchy skin after using a certain product. Well, it isn’t! You’re probably having a reaction to some synthetic chemical in the product. Switch to all natural products with easily identifiable ingredients and you will have smoother, softer, and healthier skin.
5. Let toxins go. The commercial deodorant or antiperspirant you use helps your body retain toxins. Yes, it’s true! We are meant to sweat and those type of products use incredibly toxic ingredients, such as aluminum, to help you do the opposite of what you should be doing. Natural deodorants, however, help with odor but do not stop you from sweating. You should sweat! I know this is a little hard to take in…all that yucky wetness…but sweating is how your body releases toxins. There are so many natural and organic deodorants out there….sometimes it’s confusing which one to choose. That’s why it’s always a good idea to read product reviews so you can get an idea of how it might work for you based on someone else’s experience.
