I have never ever come to this word, until just now, browsing FB and I found the videoclip I shared on PARABEN.
So i googled on paraben.
and i found methylparaben. (they are from the same family)
If you are interested in it, just google on it.
And after all the research thingy (which i have never been so passionate on researching a thing)
I ran to my bathroom and check on every single bottle of shampoo, bodywash, face wash, mask, hand wash, hair care products, toothpaste AND i ran back to the room, check on all the bottles on the cosmetic shelf, including lotions, toners, moisturizers, eye cream, acne treatment products, lip balms, eye shadows, blushers, nail polish, ETC ETC..
90% of them, having methylparaben as one of the acidic ingredients.
What so big deal since I have already (any other girls in this world do) put on so freaking hell lot (more than 40) of chemical thing on my skin every single day and night???
Research shown that, there is a link between methylparaben and breast cancer, which this chemical have it in 99% of all the skin products as the preservative to enhance their shelf life.
BREAST CANCER?!! It seriously freaks me out..
it is the worst enemy ever to all female.
You might heard from your grandmas if you are lucky enough, "dont put so much thing on your skin, it is bad"
So you might think that what so big deal, nothing happen to me also, and they actually help to promote a better looking skin. OR you might think that, aiya, they are ancient people, dont know anything on skin care products and cosmetics, just ignore it.
that's what i thought so at least...
Well, they happen to be a reason for each and single thing your grandma tells you.
they know it is bad for you, is just like how they used to tell me, not to drink cold drinks, and wet my hair during period. BUT they can never understand why, and to explain to you scientifically (since we are born in such a scientific world)
NOT THAT THEY ARE DUMB, BUT THEY ARE JUST NOT AS LUCKY AS US.
Having researchers all over the world, telling you what is good and bad for you. proving what our grandmas told us are true by giving scientific explanations
they dont know all these.
all they know is from experiences, from people they know. passing from one generation to another, and to us, by not appreciating the more than 100++ years experienced talks.
SHAME ON MYSELF..
I wont chuck all of them to bin now, since I have spent thousands on them. But will definitely gradually move to organic stuff like what my mom have been using for more than 10 years (PROUD OF HER)
I dont have a perfectly flawless skin, and i never wish to have such a bad skin. I'm born with it. I have spent a lot to reduce bad conditions. came to think of it, I have bad skin, I need a lot of skin care products, but in return, I risk my own life..
Life is never fair...
I have always wish to have a flawless skin, less problematic skin, insensitive skin, and i can stay away from all these chemicals..
bless me..
