I maintain:&nbsp;<em>If you can&#8217;t put it in you, you shouldn&#8217;t put it on you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recently shared list of nasty ingredients, which are bad for your skin and the environment is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>BHA and BHT,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>coal tar dyes,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DEA, cocamide DEA and&nbsp;lauramide&nbsp;DEA,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dibutyl phthalate,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>formaldehyde-releasing preservatives,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>parabens,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>parfum,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PEGs,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>petrolatum,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>siloxanes,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sodium&nbsp;laureth&nbsp;sulfate,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>triclosan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, I don&#8217;t know where you&#8217;d source these ingredients or what they do to enhance (if that&#8217;s even possible) an already natural product. For safety sake, always read the labels. Not pointing any fingers, but you&#8217;d&nbsp;be surprised at the ingredients in products sold by high street retailers, that claim to be natural.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that even the most complex skincare needs can be easily replaced by natural DIY alternatives? Let&#8217;s start with a moisturizer. Now, this isn&#8217;t a fancy creamy delight, just a quick swirl of a cotton&nbsp;ball across your face will leave you feeling moisturized and loved. See the short (01:19) video below for a personal tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DIY Facial Moisturizer\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T_ZcyoMIwXo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegetable Glycerine, the primary ingredient in this recipe, attracts and locks moisture into the skin. It softens and soothes the complexion, closely matching skins&#8217; pH level, making a DIY solution like this, suitable for the most sensitive skin, including that of a baby. Purple tea is high in antioxidants making it a perfect choice, over water, to help keep your skin hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give it a try and share your experience in the comments. It also makes a refreshing part of a mindful wake-up routine, when sprayed gently onto your face.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And a simple DIY.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[104,27],"tags":[154,65,151],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Reading Labels &#8226;
