There are alternatives to embarrassing acne.
Many
of us have experienced the pain and embarrassment of acne at some time
in our lives. Those red pimples are a social stigma, even if others
have them too. Some of us are left with the deep physical and emotional
scars of severe acne. But it doesn’t have to be that way any longer.
Leading
dermatologists and scientific research have concluded that the primary
cause of acne in both teenage girls and boys, and about 50% of adult
women, is hormonal imbalance. Young people’s hormones are going crazy
with high levels of testosterone. Women are experiencing hormonal
changes as they approach their 40’s and 50’s. And in my research, I
have discovered a direct link between the chemicals in the products we
use on our skin and hormone disruption.
Many acne products
contain Age Accelerators which affect hormones and are linked to major
illnesses. Many of the synthetic chemicals commonly found in acne
treatments are xeno-estrogens (false hormones). Other ingredients are
known hormone disruptors. All of these Age Accelerators send mixed
messages to our cells and body, scrambling our hormones and resulting
in acne. Even worse, many of these chemicals are found in breast cancer
tumors and may also lead to depression, birth defects and other aging
diseases.
If other treatments haven’t worked for you, it’s not
your fault. You probably did not have the information to know some of
the ingredients actually aggravated your acne. The cosmetic companies
know these facts and don’t tell you. The recently passed California
Safe Cosmetics Act is attempting to ban many of these chemicals. Some
companies use slick advertising with paid doctors and celebrities,
giving you false hope their products will work for you. And although
you may have short term results like some of the testimonials, what is
the long term cost to your future?
At last, there is a
positive solution. There are healthy ingredients available in
clinically tested formulas that are effective for eliminating acne.
They have been proven effective when compared
with leading brands.
These formulas are free of synthetic chemicals that cause
sensitivities, allergies, blackheads, redness, or inflammation. An
especially important fact is they do not cause hormonal disruption.
Be
informed and make wise choices. As an informed consumer, you do have
effective, safe choices. I would recommend that you avoid the following
at all cost:
•Benzyl peroxide: causes skin irritation, allergic reactions & inflammation; (Material Safety Data Sheet)
•All products containing parabens (methyl, propyl, butyl, ethyl):
xeno-estrogens; found in human breast tumors (Brunel University;
Journal of Applied Toxicology)
•Propylene glycol: may contribute to central nervous system depression (U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services)
•Imidazolidinyl urea: a ‘free’ formaldehyde suspected to be a carcinogen (Virginia Tech)
•Fragrance: some are hormone disruptors; contain highly toxic chemicals
(Environmental Health Network; FDA Office of Cosmetics Fact Sheet)
•PEG: potentially carcinogenic and hormone disrupting due to presence
of dioxin (Congressional Subcommittee Testimony by Asst Surgeon General)
I
sincerely want you to have the results you desire. You no longer have
to suffer from acne. There are effective products available to you.
Stay informed and make intelligent healthy choices.
