Bottling The Fountain Of Youth?
Having spent twelve years as a stylist, I have a reputation among women for being a dependable authority in the world of beauty. However, they fail to realize that simple being a sharp, gay male at an attractive 6′2” does not automatically qualify me as an authority on the subject of beauty. It is true, though, that I always look out for any information that can help me get ahead among my colleagues .
A few weeks ago I was highlighting a clients hair when she begin to gossip with another stylist. She bragged about her recent 54th birthday surprise party and my jaw dropped to the floor. I have been styling this ladies hair for 5 years and always assumed she was in her very early forties.
I listened for a few more minutes before my curiosity got the best of me. I absolutely had to know how she kept herself looking so youthful. Face lifts and Botox immediately came to mind but I have been wrong before, and this was no exception.
I managed to get the confidence to ask her how she did it, “Girl what are you doing to keep yourself looking so young?” After we shared a laugh together, she asked me “Do you promise not divulge my secret?” in an elaboratively secret manner. I agreed enthusiastically, and so as she pulled me close to her she said in a whisper, “I found the fountain of youth”. I couldn’t help but laugh.
Then my client began to tell me about an organic skin cream she had been using for the past four years, and how she preferred it to the creams that were created in labs that she had tried before. Upon hearing this, I wondered privately, “How could there be that much of a difference?”
After work, I chose to find out more information about the topic myself. When I did a little digging, I realized that almost all skin creams, including many that used the label “organic” made use of preservatives that made the cream both less efficient and more expensive.
I came to find out that the company that produced the skin cream my client raved about uses only ingredients that are grown in organic settings, and that they completely avoid any that could possibly be toxic. Also, they do not dilute any of their ingredients despite their potency, and to avoid lessening the effectiveness of their final product, at no point do they add artificial scents or coloration to it.
I know now that it is vital to look at what potentially toxic ingredients are present in skin creams when looking for one to begin using; most will contain some of they are not 100% organic. A study done in 2004 found that Prebens, a preservative used in many beauty products, was also a component of 18 out of 20 malignant breast tumors. Overall, sticking completely organic products when searching for a skin cream is the most healthy, economical, and successful option.
