How Are Chemicals Harmful To Our Bodies?

Learn How Chemicals In Skin Care Can Impact Your Life Even Years After You Use Them

Most people know that chemicals are harmful, but exactly how they are hurting our bodies is something we don't always understand.

Harmful Chemicals Hurt Body The first thing to realize is that not all chemicals are harmful. Take witch hazel for instance. This is a chemical derived from the witch hazel plant. It's a natural astringent that can gently disinfect wounds.

Plant derived chemicals are not natural, they're very processed in order to extract the chemical from the plant, but that doesn't mean they're not still good for us or beneficial for our skin.

Now carcinogenic chemicals are chemicals that have been shown or proven to be dangerous. They've been tested on mice or humans and shown to cause tumors and lesions.

Inside our bodies we have millions of cells and they all communicate, divide and die according to what our body is needing. Sometimes a few cells go haywire. They stop behaving themselves and don't do what all the other cells are telling them to do. Even worse, when these cells touch another cell, they turn that cell haywire too.

This is be beginning of cancer. Eventually, those cells build up in a certain area and start causing problems for the body. Your blood and organs just can't work around this mass of messed up, haywire cells. Also the cells will evenually build up to a point that they explode out from the original site. This is when the cancer metastasizes and starts taking over other body organs.

When you come in contact with a carcinogenic substance, it might not hurt you right away. But let's say you use a certain brand of makeup and there are several bad ingredients in the foundation. You've been using this foundation for several years without ever knowing that there are cancer causing substances within it.

Meanwhile, all these years have gone by and those carginogens have slowly built up in your body. When your cells are healthy and springy, they bounce back from contact with the harmful chemical and it doesn't phase them. But as you age, your cells become less able to protect themselves and are much more susceptible to going haywire after contact with the carcinogenic substance.

This is why it is so vitally important to read your ingredient labels and check for carcinogenic ingredients! The US does not protect women from harmful ingredients in skin care or cosmetics. You've got to do the policing yourself and make sure you're not damaging your body every time you wash your face.
