Skincare Wellness
Have you heard of Beautycounter? It is a clean beauty brand of skin care, body care, and makeup. The Never List™ is made up of more than 2,800 questionable or harmful chemicals that are never used as ingredients in the products. So, you won’t need to worry about putting toxic products on your skin. The mission is “ to get safer products into the hands of everyone.”
I have been a consultant since 2019 and first started as a customer who quickly fell in love with the products. I not only wanted to remove harmful chemicals from my personal care products but wanted quality items too. And that is Beautycounter!
If you are interested in learning more about Beautycounter products, please reach out! I love talking about them!! And maybe I can send you a sample or two.
But why does it matter what skincare products you use?
What you put on your skin can have a significant impact on your overall health for several reasons:
Skin Absorption: The skin is not just a protective barrier; it can also absorb substances. Certain chemicals and compounds present in skincare products can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream. This absorption can influence various bodily functions and may have implications for overall health.
Toxicity and Irritation: Some skincare products contain ingredients that can be harmful or irritating to the skin. Harsh chemicals, preservatives, and artificial fragrances may cause skin reactions or allergic responses. Continuous exposure to such substances can contribute to skin disorders and negatively affect overall well-being. Beautycounter’s NeverList bans these harmful ingredients!
Endocrine Disruption: Certain chemicals found in skincare products, such as phthalates and parabens, have been associated with endocrine disruption. These substances can interfere with the normal functioning of hormones in the body, potentially leading to adverse health effects. None of these chemicals are in Beautycounter products!
Microbiome Impact: Skincare products can influence the balance of the skin microbiome. The microbiome plays a crucial role in protecting the skin and supporting overall health. Disrupting this balance with certain skincare ingredients may contribute to skin issues and impact the microbiome’s beneficial functions.
Sun Protection: Regular use of sunscreen is crucial for protecting the skin from harmful UV rays, which can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Sunscreen is a preventive measure that contributes to both skin health and overall well-being. Check out Beautycounter’s zinc-based sunscreen!
Contributing to Skin Conditions: The development or exacerbation of skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis can be influenced by the use of inappropriate skincare products. Understanding one’s skin type and choosing products tailored to individual needs can help manage and prevent such conditions.
It’s essential to be mindful of the ingredients in skincare products, opt for products that suit your skin type, and consider the potential long-term effects of prolonged exposure to certain substances.
