Naturopathy

Wow, I must admit, I was tempted myself, if makeup would make me look like this, then maybe?? fortunately though, I know from my studies of skin Nutrition, the price this comes with.

Ask yourself, do you ever get any or some of these symptoms?

• Hormonal Imbalance
• Premature ageing
• Skin allergies
• Infertility problems
• Hair loss
• Headaches
• Acne
• Eye infections
• Pigmentation on your skin

The list can be even longer, this is just some of the side effects, some make up brands can cause, please don’t take this article as a scare mongering tactic, at mahashouse, we try to help you heal, make an educated decision on some of the causes that can be contributing to your auto immune, or general dis-ease, and stay on a steady path of happiness and health. Sadly some makeup brands, can be a cause for health disruption.

Diazolidinyl urea, DMDM Hydantoin, formaldehyde, Parabens, ethyl-paraben, butyl-paraben, isopropyl-paraben, salicylate, triclosan, phenacetin, coal tar, benzene, untreated or mildly treated mineral oils,  ethylene oxide, cadmium and its compounds, arsenic, crystalline silica (or quartz),aluminium,  are just some of the chemicals that are used in the makeup industry, to prolong shelf life and preserve these products.

Studies have shown that these chemicals are not only hormone disrupters, but can also be carcinogenic too. You may question that 2 ladies who use the same products, have different outcomes, or side effects, that can be due to a host of combinations, some will have genetic defects in their detoxification pathways, some won’t, some may be subjected to other environmental pollutants, that when combined with the use of makeup wreaks havoc on their health.

In short, sometimes you won’t see any side effects at all in the short term, and only in the long term you will suffer, also you may well decide, how you look on the outside, is more important to you than how you feel on the inside, fortunately it doesn’t have to be as black and white, as there are plenty of natural ways to stay and look beautiful, you can make your own skin care at home, and there are lots of healthier makeup brands out there, even on AMAZON that are free from these chemicals, so like food, you have to be vigilant and always look out for nasty ingredients, as your skin, is your first line of immune defence, and is highly absorbable, some will argue, you shouldn’t put anything on your skin that you wouldn’t eat.

Look out for expiry dates, once you open a product and start to use it, generally its not really safe to continue using it beyond a year.
