Pure North - Can Beauty Creams Cause Wrinkles?

Can Beauty Creams Cause Wrinkles?

Chemical ingredients could make you look older. In my 18 years as a healthcare practitioner, I learned that the effects of using popular skincare products can actually be quite the opposite of what you might expect. Some of the common side effects of using these products can be:

Wrinkles
Premature age spots
Rashes
Acne
Problem Skin

Regardless of the price you pay or the brand you use, certain toxic chemicals common to many popular skincare products can lead to these conditions. Other possible side effects may include hair loss, chest pain, memory loss, asthma, chronic fatigue, and even cancer.

SOAKING IT IN
Why is this an issue? The reason is simple - the skin is the largest organ of the body and it is a quick absorber, just like a sponge or a paper towel. Some cosmetic product manufacturers claim that the ingredients cannot absorb past a certain skin layer, but the proof is in "the patch." To help stop smoking, people use transdermal (placed directly on the skin) nicotine patches. They also use aspirin or medication patches because the substance on the patch can be absorbed into the body within seconds to get the desired result.

READ YOUR LABELS
Consider the skincare products in your bathroom right now. Many contain at least some potentially harmful ingredients. You may notice Propylene Glycol (or PG) listed as one of the ingredients.
What you may not know is that propylene glycol is also the main ingredient in automotive antifreeze and airplane deicing solution, two things you would never dream of rubbing on your skin. Frequent exposure to PG can irritate the skin according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, because it absorbs water and dries out the skin. This can inhibit new cell growth. If enough new cells cannot generate, the result can be wrinkles. PG may also lead to contact dermatitis, auto toxicity, kidney damage, and liver abnormalities, according to studies cited in the book "Beauty to Die For".
The FDA states that Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) may lead to blistering, bleeding, or skin discoloration because of an increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This may increase the risk of skin cancer.
Other potentially harmful ingredients include Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which is a potent degreasing agent that may cause eye damage, breathing problems, skin spots, intestinal damage, cysts, low energy, irritability, headaches, and memory loss. The American Journal of Toxicology indicates that SLS contributes to premature hair Ioss in men and women.
Mineral Oils (also used as machine part lubricants, metal-cutting fluid, and in engine oils) present another danger to skin. These oils coat the skin, which prevents the escape of moisture. This can lead to dry skin, rashes, and certain nutritional deficiencies because of clogged pores, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
FD & C Color Pigments, usually made from coal or tar, can irritate or discolor the skin, according to the FDA. Studies on animals indicate some color pigments may also be carcinogenic.
Fragrances constitute still another danger to skin. According to the FDA, fragrances (natural and synthetic) are the number one cause of allergic and skin irritations from cosmetics, and some have been proven to cause cancer. Manufacturers know this, yet they seem to turn a blind eye to such details that might interfere with potential profits (the cosmetics industry generated $33 billion last year according to the Journal of American Medicine).

THE S0LUTION: G0 NATURAL
In all my years of practice, I've searched for a skincare product free of harmful chemicals. This has certainly been a difficult process because so many products claim to be "natural" or "organic." It is hard to find products made of 80%, 70%, or even 50% natural ingredients.
Many products contain some natural ingredients, but the chemicals that surround them are what cause the real damage. In other words, don't be fooled by the marketing hype. As a rule, most natural ingredients will be familiar to you, so if you see an ingredient that looks like a complicated word from a chemistry book, chances are that the ingredient is not natural and may be unhealthy.

100% CHEMICAL FREE AND CLINICALLY PROVEN
Fortunately, I finally found an amazing natural skin cream used successfully in the Mediterranean for years. The product recently became available in North America and it is so versatile that it can replace the skincare products you use today. Another benefit is that it costs only a fraction of what other products cost, so you can save your skin and save your money. The name of the product is Pure Gardensä Natural Botanical Skin Cream.
A top toxicology lab in the United States tested Pure Gardens and found absolutely no chemicals in it. The lab reported that it is one of the only skin care products they found to be completely chemical free, and they couldn't understand how it worked so well! A separate clinical study conducted by the International Clinical Research Center proved that it was incredibly effective for problem skin, producing surprisingly fast results for the subjects that used it. Pure Gardens is also effective for helping to tighten skin and address unsightly age spots.

SKIN FRIENDLY INGREDIENTS
A Mediterranean Master Herbalist chose the 12 natural ingredients in Pure Gardens to help improve and nourish the skin. Among them, he blended Chamomile and Calendula; both cultivated for centuries in Europe and the Mediterranean as anti-aging plants. Calendula oil is good for treating rashes and acne, as well as burns or dry skin because it has a soothing effect. Chamomile oil is also very soothing to the skin, which is beneficial to rough or dry skin. It also helps tone skin, which can help skin appear younger and tighter. Another part of the formula, Apple Oil, can also help with rough, dry skin, and works as an excellent remedy or blemishes and age spots.

RESULTS
One of my patients noticed the appearance of fine lines and premature age spots on her face and arms. To help with this, I recommended Pure Gardens skin cream to her, and after only two weeks, she noticed a significant improvement in the elasticity of her skin. Pure Gardens is truly impressive because it works so quickly for so many people. I have recommended Pure Gardens to numerous patients to help with wrinkles, rashes, dry skin, and even problem skin. Pure Gardens nourishes the skin and helps it function naturally to alleviate any number of problems on its own. Another one of my patients spent significant amounts of money on new products to deal with premature age spots, wrinkles, and dry skin. I suggested that she should try Pure Gardens for 7 days because the other products might just be making things worse for her. Amazing results for her came quickly as well.
And it just makes sense. In North America we have knowledge of only 300 herbs, but in the Mediterranean, the knowledge base consists of more than 10,000 herbs. It is this vast Mediterranean herbal knowledge that makes Pure Gardens so effective. Through all my years of practice, the biggest problem I find is that many beauty products fail to nourish the skin with what it needs to be healthy. Instead, harsh chemicals only make skin problems worse.

FIGHT AGING AT THE SOURCE
Pure Gardens can help you deal with the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and age spots. People who use Pure Gardens also experience phenomenal, clinically proven results when dealing with problem skin and other skin disorders. Another important thing to know about Pure Gardens is that it is one of the few all natural skincare products featured in the upcoming 2003 edition of the Physicians' Desk Reference for Non-Prescription Drugs and, Dietary Supplements (PDR). Doctors and pharmacists have trusted the PDR for more than 55 years. It is important to consider the source of the skin problems you have. Despite a constant bombardment of environmental free radicals, 100% natural Pure Gardens can help your skin work to heal itself. It produces the best results I've seen in all my years of practice, and it is considerably less expensive compared to well-known, potentially harmful beauty creams.
As a doctor, I'm impressed with the results that people experience in just seven days with Pure Gardens. To me, that makes it worth five times its selling price. In fact, people tell me all the time that I look like I'm in my 40s, and I get a kick out of hearing that because I am actually 61. It's just more proof of the effectiveness of Pure Gardens.
Remember, you don't have to spend a fortune to make your skin look younger. Look past the marketing hype and focus on the facts. Staying young might be as simple as reading your labels.
