The Fountain Of Youth Has Been Found… In A Bottle!
After spending twelve years as a stylist, I’m often seen by women as the ultimate authority on beauty. However, although I am a dapper 6 foot 2 gay male, I am not necessarily the authority on the beauty they are looking for. But, I do tend to look out for any tidbits of information that could give me the “one-up” over the competition in my line of work.
Recently I was applying highlights to a client’s hair when she began a lighthearted conversation with a fellow stylist of mine. She began going on elaborately about the 54th birthday party she had just had. I was surprised beyond belief; this lady had been coming to me for 5 years, and I had always believed her to be just shy of 45, if not younger.
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.
She went on to explain that for the past four years she had been using an almost completely organic skin cream instead of the lab created stuff she had used previously for years. Could there really be that much of a difference I thought to myself.
That night, I decided to dig up a little information on my own. Upon doing so, I found out that most skin creams used preservatives that caused inflation of price and a decrease in the quality of the cream itself; even those that used the phrase “organic” had this problem.
I later learned that the cream that my client told me about was made by a company that does not use any ingredients that have the potential to be harmful; that they only use ingredients that are guaranteed to be from completely organic farms. Their ingredients remain totally natural, no matter how concentrated they are, and the company also guarantees the effectiveness of their product by not adding any artificial coloring or aromas.
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.
