You are probably thinking "She isn't a scientist. She isn't a chemist. She isn't even a doctor. Why should I listen to her?" You are correct, I'm not a scientist, I'm not a chemist, and I'm not a doctor. I am however, highly educated on the chemicals in cosmetics. If my eyelashes didn't fall out, I wouldn't be sitting here blogging about the dangers of chemicals. I would still be washing my hair with Pantene, slathering Dove all over my body, and applying Diorshow mascara while wearing Crest Whitestrips. It's almost a blessing in disguise that my eyelashes did fall out because it was a huge eye opener for me. I had no clue how dangerous these chemicals are and I never thought twice about what I put on my skin.
You don't have to be perfect when it comes to chemical free skincare. Every little bit helps. Every little change helps. You can start out slow by changing one product at a time.
We, as the consumer, are in control. If we stop buying chemical ridden products, the manufacturers will stop making them. It's up to us to make the change.
