Are you damaging your skin with skin care products that contain harmful preservatives? Aging is related to accumulation of damage at cellular level. Offenders include environment, free radicals, and chemicals. Women around the world have daily regimes that include a multitude of skincare products, but they do not typically consider the harmful chemicals included in these products. Did you know that the cosmetic industry uses some 10 000 chemicals as ingredients for use in skin care, with the National Institute of Occupational Safety determining 900 as unsafe and many have yet to be tested.
One major problem ingredient in skincare products is preservatives. Preservatives do not make products any more effective; their sole purpose is to increase the shelf life. Without preservative, the good ingredients will begin to die immediately after the product has been manufactured and bacteria/ fungus will grow in the product once it has been exposed to unclean hands. However, scientific evidence shows that both synthetic and natural preservatives have negative effects on the skin and actually speed up the ageing process, can seriously contribute to skin problems and cause threats to your health. Ironically, women are using these products to look more beautiful, but in the process are actually damaging the overall health of their skin.
You really need to be aware of what you are putting on your skin. While many companies claim their products are “all natural” and of the “finest quality,” a close look at the ingredients reveals they contain toxic synthetic preservatives, ‘suspected’ carcinogens, drying alcohols, and synthetic fragrances and dyes. All of which potentially contribute to allergies, headaches, rashes, asthma, hormonal imbalances, cancer, reproductive complications and a myriad other physical and emotional concerns. Believe it or not, the very products that you may think are natural and beneficial for you are the very products that contain ingredients that may be posing a serious threat to your health. For example, Parabens, including methyl-, butyl-, ethyl-and propyl, are toxic and allergenic preservatives which often cause skin irritation, and which have been implicated in the rising incidence of breast cancer. According to study published in 2004 in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, parabens have been found in tissue samples from human breast tumors.
Fortunately, there is a very simple way to differentiate between the hype and the truth in skin care and that is to read the ingredient list on the label. It is a legal requirement that all skin care products must be labelled with the ingredients in descending order of their quantity in the product. A good rule of thumb is to divide the ingredient list into thirds: the top third usually contains 90-95% of the product, the middle third usually contains 5-8% and the bottom third, 1-3%. You need to be aware of the additives that could be potentially carcinogenic. A good book to refer to when you are looking at ingredients list in your skin care products is- A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients (Paperback) by Ruth Winter
The skin is the largest eliminatory organ in the body and absorbs chemicals into the bloodstream and tissues. It is a two-way membrane. Toxins are eliminated through the skin via perspiration and absorbed through the skin into the body’s circulation system, through hair follicles and sebaceous glands. One square inch of skin has 3 feet of blood vessels and 72 feet of nerve fibers. Thus it is incredibly well vascularised and can easily absorb many of the toxic ingredients in skin care preparations. But on the other hand it can also be nourished from the outside with good quality ingredients beneficial to the skin cells.
As outlined the scientific evidence points to the fact that we should all avoid toxic preservatives in skin care products. Until now, most skin care products in around the world have contained preservatives that promote skin aging. However, new skin care technology has developed and there are now a few unique skin care ranges on the market that have eliminated preservatives

chat
If you're like most people, when you think of chat rooms, you probably think about a bunch of people who get together and talk about dating, relationships, etc.
Well, you'd be only half right, because chat rooms are so much more! In fact, let me give you the true definition of a chat room, and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
A chat room or forum (There is no difference. They're one-in-the-same) is a web site, part of a web site, or part of an online service, that provides a venue for communities of users with a common interest to communicate in real time.
Now the 2 key words in the above definition are "common interest". It doesn't have to be a dating chat room. There are a thousand different type of chat rooms out there. You can chat with other people who like the same things you like, whether it's Internet marketing, automobiles, babies, bowling or pets. Whatever the topic, there's probably a chat room for it somewhere.
Here's how chat rooms work: Chat rooms allow users to communicate with each other in real time (or live), as opposed to the delayed time you get with e-mail. A user enters a chat room, types a message into the computer, and sends it. The message is instantly displayed on the computer screens of the other users in the chat room.
Sometimes these venues are moderated either by limiting who is allowed to speak (not very common) or by having moderation volunteers patrolling the venue watching for disruptive or otherwise undesirable behavior.
So how can you profit from chat rooms? First of all, go online and find a chat room of interest to you, that ties in perfectly with your website. For instance, if you go on Google and type in the words "business chat rooms", Google will present you with 90,4000,000 pages. Typing in the words "automobile chat rooms" will bring up 2,390.000 pages. And typing in the words "pet chat rooms" will bring up 10,900,000 pages. As you can see, the possibilties are virtually endless!
Once you find a chat room you like, start participating in the discussions. Develop a friendly relationship with other users. Eventually, the other users will get around to asking you what you do. Now this where you have to tread softly. Go ahead and tell people what you do, but use the "softsell approach". Why? Because people in general don't like being "sold", especially from someone online they've never met. That's why it so important to give people a chance to see you in chat rooms, and get to know you, check out your website and view your posts on a bulletin board. You have to build a reputation with them first."
It's important to appear in the chat room at the same time every day or at least several days per week. Let visitors know what your chat room schedule is. If you play your cards right, you can become the "resident expert" visitors and regulars turn to for advice. And that's very good for business!
