Have you read about this recently? Many media sources such as internet websites and magazine are urging people to try do-it-yourself anti-aging skin care products, instead of spending your money on those less than effective products that many in the cosmetics industry produce. One of the things that the use of homemade products will do is help you to avoid ingesting all of the chemicals present in a lot of the manufactured skin care formulas.
Just about 90% of the cosmetics on the market contain chemicals that have either been proven to be or are suspected of being toxic or carcinogenic. The cosmetics companies deny there is any danger posed by the substances that they use in their products, but scientific studies say otherwise. These compounds pose enough of a threat to humans that the European Union felt it wise to ban them from use in cosmetics, but other agencies have yet to follow suit.
