In today’s modern world skin issues have emerged as a most common problem among all age groups. People try many remedies, but the problem continues. Due to increasing pollution, UV radiation, stress, sleep loss, incorrect diets, and sedentary lifestyles, skin concerns like premature aging, acne, inflammation, and dullness occur frequently.
Now, for a minute, ask yourself whether you would consciously use one type of pollutant to eliminate another. Most people would object to such, and yet, this has been what we have been doing now for decades. The common skin care products we used daily are loaded with poisons like mineral oils and parabens. These ingredients may provide temporary solutions but create long-term dents in the skin's natural integrity.
