7. Â Deodorants, Antiperspirants and Chemical Based Perfumes
Scientific studies have shown that the ingredients in deodorants and antiperspirants are harmful for your skin and body. It is a fact that deodorants cause irritation (because of alcohol) and redness which leads to itching and eventually pigmentation of the skin. The harmful effects of antiperspirants are greater than deodorants due to aluminum compounds in antiperspirants that block the sweat glands and can lead to conditions like contact dermatitis and allergies. Sweat glands discharge the waste from our body as sweat and if the waste is not being discharged from the body, it is unhealthy. Also, chemicals present in fabric softeners, laundry detergents, perfumes, personal care products, air fresheners and many other products contribute to health and environmental problems.
If you like to use fragrances, you must replace your chemical deo sprays and perfumes with natural or herbal based ones and use them only when there is a need. Itar (organic handmade fragrances) are a good option.
Chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria, and other hazardous ingredients are turning up in makeup, skin creams, and many hair styling products.
The best is to stay natural with the minimal use of beauty products. Only when there is an absolute necessity, should one subject self to harmful chemicals, or better still, invest in natural and herbal products.
Happy living to you.
