I'm about to go on a super girl rant. So hang on tight!
I used to sell Mary Kay. I did not do this because I believe in the products; it all started because my boyfriend got laid off and we needed an extra income. In the process of selling Mary Kay, I found that it is PACKED with chemicals. Four girls of MINE reported having symptoms of Rosacea after they had started their Mary Kay skin care regimen. On top of issues like that, I found out Mary Kay HAS resumed animal testing. These are two things I am completely against. I do not believe our delicate skin was made to withstand harsh chemicals. Think about it: they tell us smoking causes aging (due to chemicals), being around power plants cause premature aging (due to chemicals), baking in a tanning bed causes aging (due to UV light). So WHY IN THE WORLD do we pay an ungodly amount of money for skin care products that are FULL of harmful chemicals?! We think they're working, but are they really? Whats the long term effect going to be of packing sulfates and phthalates on our skin? And, animal cruelty?! Really... does the hatred toward that really need explained?
USE NATURAL PRODUCTS!
Essential oils, honey, mint, lavender, clay, palm oil, milk, beeswax, rosemary. These are things we should be using to treat skin problems, to defy aging, and to keep our bodies happy and healthy. I honestly believe, just as what we put into our bodies will affect our moods and livelihood, what we put into our skin will do the same!
