Ms America Tells Us To Use Natural Skin Products And To Avoid Mainstream Skin Care Products.

December 9th, 2009 Posted in Women's Health

If you’ve heard of Susan Jeske it’s probably because she was crowned Ms America in 1997. Susan spent some 20 years of her life as a beauty consultant working for a major cosmetics company, but now has done a 180 degree reversal and tells Americans about the dangers of the chemical and petrochemical ingredients used in modern cosmetics and modern skin care products. She promotes natural skin products and natural cosmetics. What made Susan change?

Susan had some serious skin and health problems a few years ago. In desperation she turned to a holistic doctor who told her about the dangerous chemical ingredients used in cosmetics and skin care products and suggested she discontinued their use. She did discontinue their use and within 2 weeks the health and skin problems were gone. As a result she began to research more about the ingredients which go into modern cosmetics and skin care products.

I’m sure this was a terrible shock to someone who had spent a large part of her life working for a cosmetics company as a beauty consultant, however she was awakened to the rude fact that so many mainstream cosmetics and personal and beauty products are laced with chemical ingredients. Many of these chemical ingredients are totally banned in Europe but few are banned in America. Some of these ingredients are known to cause cancer and some of these ingredients were also causing Susan’s own health problems.

As a result of her researches Susan left the cosmetics company. Now she spends her time touring the country warning consumers about the risks of toxic chemical ingredients in personal and beauty products such as cosmetics and skin care products.

She has even compiled a list of the 12 most toxic ingredients that you should never find listed on the label of any product you intend to apply to your skin.

Susan is not alone. There are entire organisations set up to alert consumers of the risks of modern skin care products and cosmetics. For some time I have written about this on my website can and warn about the risks of personal products and offer consumers some alternatives to buying safe natural alternatives. The FDA isn’t required to satisfy itself about the safety of any chemical ingredients used in products and doesn’t do so, and for this reason this problem continues to get worse.

The main reason these chemical ingredients are used is because they are incredibly cheap and by reducing the cost of the ingredients in the products companies can increase their profit margins hugely.

There are excellent natural products such as natural skin products and natural cosmetics which are available right now which use other nonchemical natural ingredients which are highly effective and which are also perfectly safe to use. However these ingredients are more expensive than the chemical alternatives and so are not used by the mainstream big name players.

It’s perfectly possible to buy high quality natural skin care products and high quality natural cosmetics right now. Small niche companies see an opportunity in manufacturing these products and marketing them to consumers who are aware of the risks with big brand skin care and cosmetics products.
