wow

so many people wash their face with

commercial bar soap without even

thinking twice and they wonder why they

have to use lotions and creams and they

wonder why their skin’s so dry

and they have to use things to counter

this dermatitis or little areas of red

patches so i want to just increase your

awareness on what’s actually in

commercial soap so you can just get an

alternative so let’s talk about the

ingredients first

so number one you have this chemical

called sodium lauryl sulfate now

sometimes you’ll use ammonium lauryl

sulfate too and this is the lathering

agent it’s in your shampoos it’s in your

cleansers it’s in your body washes it’s

a thing that makes that lathering effect

and recently i released my own

shampoo and conditioner and some people

are wondering

why doesn’t it lather like my regular

shampoo well that’s because we omitted

this one ingredient it’s a synthetic

chemical that can irritate your skin it

can create inflammation

and you can dry out your skin and

sometimes this chemical is contaminated

with other chemicals that are

carcinogenic so definitely start reading

the back of the ingredients now i’m

mainly talking about the face i mean you

could use it for the rest of the body i

mean that’s not a big issue but i

wouldn’t put it on your face

the number two ingredient to watch out

for

is parabens so and definitely look at

other names because sometimes they’ll

put

methylparaben or propyl parabens but

anything with parabens you want to avoid

it’s a preservative it’s an

antibacterial but it can lead to an

estrogenic effect and there’s certain

studies that even shows that it affects

the fertility

in animal studies so anything you put on

the skin actually absorbs inside your

body your skin is like a sponge so just

remember that your skin is really the

primary barrier for your immune system

so there’s a lot of

friendly bacteria in the skin that you

don’t want to kill so anything that’s an

antibacterial watch out for because it’s

also going to kill off your good

bacteria

very similar to an antibiotic and then

what happens is you get this overgrowth

of

other microbes that you don’t want like

yeast candida

uh things like that all right number

three ingredient to watch out for is

formaldehyde it’s a great to embalm a

body

but not to embalm your face it can

increase your risk of getting cancer it

can really dry out your skin and the

next one is the synthetic fragrances

okay i mean some of these soaps are just

so

so strong and so irritating

but they’re petroleum-based

they’re petrochemicals there’s solvents

that they use to make these fragrances

so you really want a soap that’s either

fragrance free

or that only uses essential oils all

right next one is something called

triclosan okay

triclosan is a very powerful

antibacterial chemical but the problem

is like i just said can kill off the

good bacteria and increase the risk of e

coli and and even mrsa so

avoid things with this chemical the

other thing they quite commonly use in

soaps is

coal tar dyes okay they’re coloring

agents and the way they make these is

with chemicals petroleum type products

and there’s all sorts of negative

effects especially drying out your skin

i mean i remember growing up having bad

acne and here i was using a bar of cell

commercial soap scrubbing my face

thinking that would help it always just

worsened my skin it aggravated my acne

and

it never got rid of it so the solution

is to spend a little bit more on

something that’s more natural something

that is either homemade or handcrafted

something that does not have sodium

lauryl sulfate something that’s

fragrance free doesn’t have the

synthetic dyes

yet something that’s made of a healthy

fat that uses essential oils and doesn’t

have chemicals now i think a really

appropriate next video for you to watch

which would be this one on how to

diagnose the inside of your body

just by looking at the face check it out

i put it up right here
