Today, Princess Know It All is shopping at the Turnip Truck
More than ever I am paying attention to what I actually put on my skin and scalp – our skin and scalp are our largest organs – pores are holes that lead to ones blood stream, our scalp is itched and scratched at least once a day – these scratches leave little tiny cuts – throw on some chemicals and guess what? A straight shot to our BRAINS! On a vanity point sulfates and parabens thin the hair, study’s have shown that in men there is an even more rapid rate of thinning – hence leading to BALDNESS!! For Mee I break out in a giant rash as the sulfates irritate my skin.
What’s really got me in a tizzy are the effects of OXYBENZONE & VITAMIN A in sunblocks – what these two ingredients do when placed on the skin and then sat in the hot sun is yes, keep the skin from burning however under the skin they are cooking up some serious cancer cells at an intense rate – that’s right Oxybenzone is a KNOWN carcinogen and found in almost EVERY commercial child’s sunblock. Vitamin A is usually found in beauty products that boost anti- aging properties, this is true it does seem to slow down the aging process however what it does when placed in sunblock products and that cover sun bathing or sun exposed skin – is cook up cancer cells underneath! I have been a HUGE fan of mineral make- ups and I still am however MOST of them have SPF mixed with Vitamin A – so what I’ve done is changed my sunblocks and my mineral product is not used at the beach or for periods of time outside. The hope is that there are plenty of chemical free blocks that work – we just spent the week at the beach with the kids and used a great product (click on link for more info) with these products it takes a bit of effort ’cause one must reply every two hours or after swimming. Good luck my friends and happy label reading — remember keeping our BLOOD clean keeps us healthy!
