Food for Thought

Most of us have heard about the toxic, cancer linked, pore clogging, drying, nasty products that are in a lot of hair care / nail polish / makeup etc. that we should avoid but what i found eye opening is what the USA still deems "ok" to put in vs Europe! i love R29 and they usually are really informative with what they put on their site so i thought i'd share here. Sometimes i think ingredients can get a bad rap or it's blown out of proportion however things like Vaseline or this Rosebud salve or this -anything Petroleum based - it's all derived from crude oil byproducts! There's nothing moisturizing about it! You might as well slather on some Crisco from your pantry because it's the same idea. All it does is lock in the moisture your skin already has and doesn't let it breath properly.
My 2 favorite moisturizers at the moment - night a little goes a long way - day nice and light and quickly absorbs. My husband likes it too since it's fragrance free. Then this eye cream every other night
Something i'm dying to try! Have you used this?
This is my rant for the day. :)
