All Natural Skin Care Gorgeous in Grey
Posted on 06/06/20
Some say that the pandemic has done Mother Nature some good.... fresher air with less pollution from factories being shut and less vehicles being used. Even rivers and oceans have had a 'detox' from human and is crystal clear once more!
From a more personal experience, my mind have had a 'detox' from the hustle bustle of a very busy life before lockdown. And as I took a step back, I did the same with my skin care, keep it bare minimum and it has been the best 'detox' for my skin over the last 10 weeks. Occasional face masks and face cream was all I used. But now as we ease back to work, I started to review what I am putting on my face on a daily basis.
I remember a few years back as I hit 40, I started to look closely at the products that I have been using and realised that there were a lot of chemicals in it. Did some research and decided that I was going to consciously look for paraben free products.
Obviously being a frugal person, I wasn't going to throw all my products away. I decided that I will phase it out. That gave me time to research and slowly get the paraben free products I can afford.
What are parabens ? #
Parabens are a type of preservative that are often used in cosmetics and makeup to prevent mould and bacteria from growing in them.There are lots of different parabens, but some of the most commonly used are propylparaben, methylparaben and butylparaben.If one or more of the ingredients in your makeup ends in ‘-paraben’, this means it contains parabens. Parabens are effective as preservatives, but they could have several negative effects on human health.The most concerning thing about parabens is that they have been linked to breast cancer as they mimic the hormone oestrogen and having high levels of oestrogen could increase the risk of developing breast cancer.
So, I now challenge you to look at the ingredients at the back of your skin care or make up products. What have you been putting on your skin? Perhaps it's time to phase out from your old products to some paraben free ones.

Paraben free for natural greys #
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty is also embracing your natural grey or sometimes known as silver. To keep your grey locks healthy and shiny, it's important to know the ingredients in the shampoo you use. Sulphates and parabens are chemicals present in many popular shampoos to help create the foam that many of us associate with a deep clean. These ingredients may actually do more harm than good as it strips your scalp of moisture and can damage your hair.
