This Refreshing 3-Minute Daily Routine Rewards You With Glowing and Rejuvenated Skin

In my opinion, to have clear, healthy skin, you must clean your face twice daily to remove makeup, pollution, grime and grease that can cling to and build up on your skin and clog your pores. For your skin to effectively do its job of removing toxins from your body, your face must be clean and your pores clear. A dirty face can prevent your skin from eliminating toxins.

Cleansing your face doesn’t need to take much of your time. But skipping those few moments each day can lead to sluggish, tired-looking skin that can make you look older than you really are.

Promising yourself you won’t ever head to bed or step out for a new day without cleaning your skin will go a long way toward maintaining a youthful glow.

4 Dangerous Face Cleanser Myths That May Be Putting Your Overall Health at Risk

Many people don’t think twice about the personal care products they buy for several reasons:

Myth #1: If a store or website sells it, it must be safe.

You may be surprised to know that companies are not required to test their products for safety. They can say almost anything they want about their product without having to prove it’s true.

Further, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not review or approve most products or ingredients before they go on the market.

Myth #2: It doesn’t matter what’s in a facial product because you’re not ingesting it.

What many don’t realize is what you put on your face does pass through the skin barrier and enter your blood stream. You might as well be drinking the product! (Which of course, I don’t recommend.) Some products even include chemicals that act as enhancers that allow ingredients to penetrate deeper into your skin.

Myth #3: You can avoid dangerous ingredients by reading the label.

Unfortunately, that’s not true either. If an ingredient is a “trade secret,”, a component of fragrance (typically a concoction of chemicals, unless it’s Organic) or nanomaterials, it doesn’t need to be listed on the product label!

Myth #4: Products labeled hypoallergenic or natural are safer.

According to the FDA and even dermatologists, “hypoallergenic” and “natural” mean nothing. Products labeled natural can contain synthetic chemicals as well as petrochemicals.

Keep in mind, the personal care products industry is unregulated. Companies can say just about anything about their product or use any ingredient, including untested chemicals and many substances known to be harmful.

It’s truly a wild frontier out there with personal care products. There’s no question, you’re on your own finding one that’s safe...

The “Most Wanted” Toxic Offenders: How Many Are in Your Facial Cleanser?

What are you using now to clean your face?

If you’re using a facial cleanser for your routine face washing, I suggest you check its label. Some of the most popular products contain potentially harmful ingredients that, in my opinion, are best avoided.

The Environmental Working Group considers these facial cleanser ingredients to be among the worst of the “Most Wanted” offenders...

This is just the beginning. There are many more ingredients listed by the EWG in these products. I just chose the ones with the highest scores for ingredient concerns. And I only looked at a small handful of top selling facial cleansers.

What you’re currently using could be even worse.
