You may not realize it, but some of the products you think are helping your skin could actually be doing serious damage. Because excessive chemical exposure can have a negative impact on your skin’s appearance and health, it’s vital for you to think carefully about the ingredients found in your everyday products. Even applying sunscreen or makeup could increase your exposure to toxins.
Consider these examples:
Sunscreen: Protecting against Sun Damage or Creating Health Problems?
Sun protection is good, but exposure to certain common sunscreen ingredients is not. Check the bottle of sunscreen you’re using. Does it contain benzophenone? If so, it might be a good idea to swap it out. Benzophenone is a chemical that’s been linked to cellular damage and even cancer.
