Skin Care Vitamins
has anyone ever had a reaction to serious skin care sold on HSN?
I had a reaction including swelling when using all varieties of serious skin care glycolic vitamin c etc. Has this happened to anyone else. I told my derma. he said it might be the preservatives they use.
Hi
There are a number of ingredients in mass market skin care products that can cause irritations, Some of these chemicals were developed for industrial use; propylene glycol adds body and a smooth texture to products such as shampoo, but began life as industrial antifreeze; sodium lauryl sulphate is a foaming agent that started out as, and is still used as an engine degreaser. Other chemicals that can cause problems include parabens, petrochemicals, artificial colours and preservatives. Unfortunately these are very common in skin care products.
So I suggest you replace your current skin care products with ones that are more natural. Look for products that:
•are Certified Organic
•have natural products in their ingredients lists
•contain do not contain petrochemicals, parabens, or sulphates.
•use natural preservatives like tea tree oil, or a combination of various essential oils that have antimicrobial activity (eg lavender, lemon, rose, rosemary, sage, sandalwood), grape seed extract or honey.
Avoid products that:
•have the word “organic” or “natural” in their brand name but don’t have organic certification.
•have lots of chemical sounding names in the ingredients list
I hope this helps
Cheers Sonya
