The Fountain Of Youth In A Bottle?
Being a stylist the past twelve years women often assume that I am authority on all things beauty. Being a six foot two clean cut gay male does not automatically make me an authority however, I do keep my ears open and I always pay close attention to anything that might give me the edge in my business.
Not long ago I was giving highlights to a client who had been coming to me for about 5 years. She struck up a conversation with the stylist next to me, boasting about how well her recent 54th birthday party had gone. I couldn’t believe my ears; all this time that I had been styling her hair I had always assumed she was no older than her mid forties.
I managed to hide my inquisitiveness about this woman’s secret to youth for a couple more minutes, but I ended up having to inquire as to how she managed to stay looking so young. Procedures like face lifts and Botox were the first to come to my mind, but I knew I had been mistaken about their use before, and I was in this case too.
I cracked a smile to my client after getting the confidence to speak up and asked, “Girl what are you doing to keep yourself looking so young?”. We both giggled a bit about it and she pulled me in towards her by my hand and said, “Do you promise not divulge my secret?” After I gave an eager silent agreement, she leaned in closer and said, “I found the fountain of youth”, and I found myself laughing wholeheartedly.
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?”
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 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.
As such, when considering a skin cream, you should always look for any ingredients that may be harmful to your health; I’ve found that unless a skin cream is completely natural, it most likely will contain some. In 2004, a study was conducted that found that Prebens was a preservative used in many cosmetic products that was also found in 90% of breast cancer tumors. So, you should always look for organic skin creams as they are the most healthy, effective, and affordable option for you.
