Is Your Makeup Making You Fat? Three Toxic Beauty Ingredients to Avoid

A new study has found that “chemical calories” present in beauty products such as shampoo, body lotions and cosmetics can disrupt the body’s natural weight control system.

 

Did you know that your skin is your largest organ?

Studies show that in 26 seconds all the chemicals in your personal care products (makeup) go through your entire bloodstream.

From what I understand; fat is created to protect our body from toxins & impurities creating unwanted weight.

The European Union bans more than 1,400 chemicals in personal care products.  The United States bans less than 10.

THREE TOXIC BEAUTY INGREDIENTS TO AVOID

Parabens ( a widely used preservative)

Fragrance

Formaldehyde (preservative)

What’s in your products?

Be sure to check out the EWG’s Skin Deep database to research toxic chemicals that could be in your cosmetic and personal care products.

Educate yourself and do your research before you buy.  You don’t have to compromise your health for your beauty or your beauty for your health.

Did you know that women who wear makeup EARN more than women who don’t?

How to Create a Vegan Breakfast Bowl (Recipe for Happiness)

This BREAKFAST BOWL has Super Foods and Super Powers!!!

“Several years ago, I was 70 pounds overweight, unhealthy, addicted to menthol cigarettes; suffering from hot flashes and depression.  I was unfulfilled in my job and unhappy in my 30 year marriage to my high school sweetheart.

At my lowest point I was inspired by a true story of a young, vegan girl. 

I spent an entire year building a wardrobe that complements me; treating myself to beauty treatments; eating healthy; organizing my closet; simplifying my style and focusing on me.  As a result, I quit smoking, lost 50 pounds and gained self confidence.  I built a booming business and restored my marriage.

Today I eat to live, not live to eat.  I make food choices that nurture my body and my brain.  I’ve decided not to poison myself with the processed, packaged products.  Instead, I delight myself with colorful fruits and vegetables.”  -(Excerpts from The Fashionating Life Formula: How to Build your Self Confidence by Nancy Joseph)
