Are You Using Anti-Freeze To Cure Your Acne?
If your reading this I will assume that your life has some how been impacted
my the highly irritating disease called acne. It is not surprising that you
have been affected by it in some way seeing as though it is the most common
of the skin diseases and affects close to 17 million people in the United
States. It is most common among young adults ranging from 12-14, nearly 85
percent have acne; however acne still occurs among people who are below and
above this age group. Acne will seize to exist for some by age 30, however
for many it lasts until they are in their fifties.
Many people use products on their faces and other areas of their body that
prevent acne. What many people neglect to investigate is exactly what they
are putting on their skin. The answer is harmful chemicals. Your acne
products may contain chemicals that, in high doses, are banned because they
are so lethal. Some of these chemicals include Propylene Glycol which is a
cosmetic form of mineral oil that is found in automatic brake fluid,
hydraulic fluid and industrial antifreeze. According to the Material Safety
Data Sheet users are warned to avoid skin contact as it is a strong skin
irritant and can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage. Alcohol is
commonly used in acne products as well. Take note that it is not the same as
the alcohol that is found in alcoholic drinks, it is much more dangerous.
Alcohol can make your bodies tissue more vulnerable to carcinogens, an agent
directly involved in the promotion of caner. Glycerine, which is a syrupy
liquid chemically produced by combining water and fats, is also very
commonly used in acne products. Most products with glycerine in their
ingredients claim to be "replenishing" or "moisturizing" when in fact using
glycerine on your skin only makes your skin progressively worse by drying
your skin from the inside out. Other products this chemical is found in are
insect repellent, car glaze and paint cleaner.
After reading these facts I hope you are as disgusted and, above all,
worried as I am. You may be cleaning your skin with the same chemicals you
use in your cars engine. you may be putting a chemical on your skin that you
can also use to polish your floors.
The best method for curing acne is naturally whether it is a home remedy or
a natural face washing product. Also, to prevent the cause of acne it is
best to use natural cosmetics and lotions/moisturizers on your skin.
