An important thing to consider is the type and quality of products you are using. As I posted earlier, avoid harsh and dangerous products.
The example I used earlier in the first Healthy Skin Tips was that awful St. Ives Apricot Scrub that everyone thinks is great. Why is it so bad? Look it up on Skin Deep: It scores a 7 out of 10 on the toxicity scale, and is considered a "High Hazard". 85% of exfoliation products had fewer concerns. That's pretty pathetic, especially since St. Ives wants you to think it's natural:
Your face comes first, and when it looks great, you do too. St. Ives Fresh Skin products - formulated from ingredients you know, like apricots, minerals and olives - give you the power to uncover your best you - naturally revealing fresh, glowing skin.
I'm sorry, what was that St. Ives? Formulated from ingredients I know? Natural?? Like Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Parabens, and Triethanolamine? Ingredients that are known to cause developmental and reproductive toxicity, allergies, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, organ system toxicity, irritation, and biochemical or cellular level changes? Sure, you could say this is classic false advertising... but it's much more deviant than that.
Please steer clear!
