In recent beauty news, it appears that some of your personal care products could be affecting your health. But, after reviewing the UFC-Que Choisir’s (the Western European nonprofit consumer association) article online, I believe their concerns are valid and their analysis of 66 products is accurate.
The “endocrine disrupters” (which affect hormone production) found in the products were preservatives, anti-bacterial agents, sunscreens and emollients. Levels of these disrupters were also determined.
Que Choisir wrote that they compared the level of propylparaben in Nivea Water Lily & Oil Shower Gel (0.00268%) to the Scientific Committee on …

Peace, love & Jao is my new saying, as I have been obsessed with their product line ever since a dear friend, Karim Orange, introduced me to the brand. I have been using their Hand Refresher ($7.00, $11.00 and $16.00, depending on size) all winter along with their Goe Oil ($40.00), and not only is it a smell I embrace, but the products are paraben-, sulphate-, phthalate-, mineral oil-, silicone- and fragrance-free (of synthetic fragrances that is)!
Please note that there is a scent to the hand sanitizer, as it blends sage, geranium, …

Unwanted pigmentation problems, like brown spots or splotchy skin, have many causes and can occur in all skin types. Fortunately, dermatologists have investigated a variety of skin lightening methods and have developed many promising treatments.

While antioxidants have been used as active ingredients in skincare products for years because of their anti-aging abilities, effectively adding these natural ingredients to skincare products has its challenges. Advances in plant stem cell technology provide a new way to extract antioxidants from plants in their purest and most stable form, which can help products more successfully treat the signs of aging.

Myths about acne are almost as common as the skin problem. While the exact cause of acne is unknown, there are a number of factors that can bring on acne or make it worse, including hormones, genetics and emotional stress. Recently, dermatologists have taken another look at whether diet’s role in acne is a myth.
Several new studies have examined the possible link between diet and acne — particularly carbohydrates and dairy products. The emerging evidence has prompted dermatologists to re-examine the possibility that certain foods (ex. excess sugar) can worsen …

Anyone who suffers from acne — whether it be an occasional breakout or a serious day-to-day issue — knows how awful it is to deal with. Many of us have seen the commercials and advertisements on television for the popular Proactiv skincare line, which claims to erase acne. I have never tried the original line, however, I was super excited to try their new skincare regimen.
The new line is called Proactiv Plus and claims to be the fastest and most effective Proactiv ever. The steps are a little different than the …
