It’s no secret that we live in a world filled with sugar and chemicals. If you’re not eating them, you’re rubbing them on your body, putting them in your hair, putting them on your face and whatever else. Even though a lot of us know this, we just don’t seem to care.
Well, I care.
Probably about half a year ago or so, I had allergy testing done by a naturopath. I reacted to a few things, I reacted highly to sulphur. Go figure, right? As it turns out, sulphur isn’t just in beans – it’s in nearly every bathroom thing you use. Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, makeup, face wash and more.
After finding out that I was reacting to it, I had to get rid of every single toiletry I had except two: a super sensitive facial wash and a bottle of lotion. Both made by St. Ives. I even had to get rid of my soap.
It can be kind of intimidating to start looking into all this stuff, so I found this video that touches on sulphur – sodium laurel sulphate – as well as other things to get you started.
If you’re at all interested – and you should be for the sake of your health and your family’s health – start doing some research.
It was a revelation to me that all these expensive, specially formulated skin care, beauty and personal care products that we are enticed to buy, are in fact highly toxic to us. Some of the ingredients have been linked with cancer! I have stopped even using most of them… and it hasn’t been that hard! It really is worth it.
Yeah, I stopped using that crap. You pay so much for it in dollars and in your health.
