Are Your Beauty Products Aging Your Skin and Making You Sick?

Even though the brand you use has words like “all natural” and “organic” on their bottle, the product can be loaded with chemicals, parabens, phthalates, nitrosamines, lead and other harmful ingredients that are absorbed into your body. I can’t tell you how many times someone has called me asking to compare Miessence or Abbey St. Clare products with such and such product, and with rare exceptions, when I checked the ingredient list of their products, I found that they were far from organic or all natural. If fact, while there might be a few herbal or organic ingredients listed, there were plenty of unhealthy toxic ingredients.

There are no regulations in the beauty industry, so manufacturers can use any ingredients they want. And when you make products for mass consumption, you need those products to have a long shelf life. This means lots of chemicals and preservatives are added that are harmful to your health.

At InspiredLiving.com, before I decide to carry a product line, the first thing I look at is the ingredient list. I also verify the products with the Environmental Working Group’s online safety profiles for cosmetics and personal care products. They rate products based on the ingredients, and have three scoring ranges, the lower the score the safer the product:

  • 0-2 GREEN are the most safe products
  • 3-6 ORANGE for moderately safe products
  • 7-10 RED for hazardous products

All beauty and hygiene products carried by InspiredLiving.com fall within the 0-2 GREEN zone (except lip gloss, which is a 3)

Abbey St. Clare Color-Safe, Hair Growth Stimulating Hair Care Products (Not EWG Rated)

Abbey St. Clare Lazarus Thinning Hair Products imageTreating the scalp with essential oils was the heart of a medical study for hair renewal — a blend of essential oils to correct the underlying problem of clogged follicles and encourage new growth. These are combined with a synergy of ayurvedic herbal oils for promoting growth and healthy hair and scalp. This formula has been improved with Keratinocyte Growth Factor.

Persistence is the key to success, but realize that this is not an overnight
fix but a routine that may require three to six months. Using the Lazarus oil
treatment along with the shampoo and conditioner will not disappoint. Save
an extra 10% when you purchase all three: Lazarus shampoo, conditioner and
treatment serum. Individual price range is $22.00 to $32.00

P.S. My 91 year-old mother started using only the shampoo last December and I’ve already noticed a little change in the thickness of her hair. I’ve been using it for about 9 months now and love it.

List of problem areas rejuvenating light treats on faceSkin Rejuvenation Light Treatment

At less than $1 a day for the first year, the Deep Penetrating Light (DPL) Therapy System (infrared LED light) is an incredible value compared to similar treatments in spas, salons and doctors’ offices.

It is unbelievably inexpensive and safer compared to Botox, chemical peels, laser procedures, micro-dermabrasion and plastic surgery. And, unlike the invasive procedures listed above, infrared LED light treatments are a natural anti-aging solution that is HEALTHY for you and your skin! The DPL is available in a handheld or full-face panel version.

Not only does the Deep Penetrating Light rejuvenate and improve skin, but it is also approved for pain relief by the FDA. And far infrared accelerates healing, something I took advantage of a month ago when I misstepped on a drainage bump and lost my balance getting out of a car. I fell on my hip on cement, and when I got into my house, I immediately gave my hip an 18 minute DPL treatment, followed by a dose of Transdermal Magnesium, which was then followed by ice. Amazingly, other than a massive bruise, I had no pain or problems with my hip.
