Natural Skin Care Products

Going through eBay, I find all kinds of stuff to put on the face. Unfortunately, most of it is damaging to our skin and body. Mostly we buy this stuff because we don't know any better. But by using natural skin care products we can beautify our faces - and do good things for our bodies. The problem is that we aren't, as consumers, educated to exactly what's in this seemingly-helpful formulas.

Example: while looking in the category of "Health & Beauty > Skin Care > Moisturizers", I typed in the keyword "natural" and the first product I notice is "JERGENS NATURAL GLOW" with an explanation of how it's a natural skin care product. It isn't. To quote one site:

* "Jergens moisturizer is the worst natural skin care product in the skin moisturizer category. If you fed this product to your children you'd be thrown behind bars for severe child abuse."

* "Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer scores in 10 of 12 toxic parameters. The Jergens moisturizer contains a known human carcinogen - Titanium Dioxide . This chemical is a direct cancer causing agent."There is nothing positive about this product according to the ingredient label. There are a few organic ingredients thrown in for token value, though these are outweighed by the toxins."

* "The Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer does not meet any natural ingredient parameter. It is not certified organic and it uses synthetic chemicals that have been tested on animals. The fact that it is not certified organic - obviously - means that there is a possibility the product contains G.M.O - genetically modified organisms - and pesticides."

* "My advice is this, DO NOT believe the hype and false claims of the Jergens brand. This product is just one example across their line of how they hoodwink their trusting customers into believing they are natural."

DON'T believe everything you read. Educate yourself if you're going to use skin care products.
