At a time when the immune system all residents of cities and industrial centers weakened severe environmental conditions, many women have shown individual sensitivity to the various components of cosmetics and perfumes.

Whatever the quality may be a means of decorative cosmetics, make-up should be removed as soon as it is no longer necessary. It is particularly important to remove cosmetics at night before going to bed or at any time of the day. During sleep, the body started inherent self-healing system and thus open pores. Grim clog their skin "not breathing" through the open pores of the body get makeup of matter that there is not a place. Not surprisingly, after sleeping face with makeup does not look fresh, eyelids swell.

In commercials and brochures can be found the statement that mineral makeup can sleep. Do not get involved in such experiments. The fact is that in advertising the word "can" is often confused with the term "necessary" and "useful." Some types of mineral cosmetics are composed of bismuth, talc, causing many people irritation and rashes Rash: Classification - primary and secondary elements .

Contaminants in cosmetics

Petrochemical component of modern cosmetics has long been a subject of dispute of doctors and cosmetologists. Is so harmless parabens, mineral oils, fenoeksitanol, colorants, flavors, both cosmetic manufacturers assure us? All products of chemistry - the result of the synthesis of these substances do not exist in nature, which means that our body is unable to dispose of their own.

For example, parabens - preservatives, antibacterial and antifungal properties, and having a low cost. They have a dangerous property to accumulate in some tissues of the body. Many scientists suspect that large amounts of parabens can acquire mutagenic properties, that is, cause changes in the human genotype. Their influence is noticeable immediately, but in the late period of life, often seen in premature aging Internal and external aging: it is necessary to think in advance , Lowered immunity and may even cause malignant tumors. Acting on germ cells, mutagens may affect the offspring.

Molecular biologist Philippa Darbre and specialists of her lab at the University of London after a series of studies raised serious assumption of a cause-and-effect relationship between prolonged use of products containing parabens and negative changes in the human body. The French Agency for the Safety of Medicines issued a statement on the harmful effects of parabens on the human endocrine system. These preservatives over time cause a hormonal imbalance of the body, and even reproductive disorders.

Mineral oils that are used as low-cost active humidifiers, are not harmless. Forming on the surface of the film, they prevent the evaporation of moisture, the skin does not dry up, it is a positive factor. But with such a film retains moisture toxins, toxins, to be output from the body.

Component degreasing scalp, causing itching, weakening and loss of hair Hair: structure, characteristics of growth and development He tends to accumulate in the body, so the products containing SLS, absolutely contraindicated in pregnant women and children.
