Natural Skin Care Product Continued
While the FDA does possess extensive lists of harmful chemicals that cannot be used by cosmetic companies in the manufacturing of their product lines, thousands of new chemicals are developed and implemented into these product lines each year. As it is impossible for the FDA to track and review all these new chemicals at once, you may find yourself using a harmful product for years before its effects are known and it is ultimately removed from the market.
The only surefire way to prevent the initial risk is to only use natural skin care products. This way, you can altogether avoid the application of potentially harmful synthetic chemicals to your body. If you consider the reality that anything you apply to your skin ends up inside your body the same as if you had ingested it, then as a general rule of thumb all your skin care products should be viewed as safe enough to eat.
Another benefit of using natural skin care products is that many of these products contain antioxidants, which are widely believed to combat the visible effects of aging.
