Dear Health Conscious Reader,
Look at the ingredients on all those skin products out there, from moisturizers to sunscreens to shampoos, you’ll find health-threatening chemicals–propylene glycol, parabens, PABA, PEG, and mineral oil everywhere.
These chemicals pose real dangers to your health, including cancer. And, sadly they are FDA approved and labeled as healthy.
Did you know that mineral oil is a “by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline”? And, did you know that baby oil is just mineral oil with fragrance?
Johnson’s Baby Shampoo “No More Tears” formula contains cocamidopropyl betaine, PEG-80 sorbitan laurate, sodium trideceth sulfate, PEG-150 distearate, polyquaternium-10, polyquaternium-10, tTetrasodikum EDTA, quaternium-15, and others.
Does this sound like something you want to use on your baby?
Even many of the so-called “natural” cosmetics and skin creams are loaded with potentially harmful chemicals. During our research we uncovered hundreds of examples.
One expensive, department-store skin cream that boasts “anti-aging” power with the additional benefit of vitamin B5 has chemicals that are linked to:
- Developmental/reproductive toxicity
- Violations, restrictions & warnings
- Allergies/immunotoxicity
- Neurotoxicity
- Persistence and bioaccumulation
Other problems included: Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), enhanced skin absorption, contamination concerns, biochemical or cellular level changes… just to name a few.1
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your health or risk disease for the sake of looking and feeling good. But your choices for clean, effective skin care are remarkably slim.
I founded Pure Radiance to change that.
Now you have real options.
To give you safe and effective alternatives, I’m introducing a new monthly letter Ageless Beauty. Plus, you’ll get weekly Ageless Beauty Secrets packed with winning strategies designed to keep you looking younger and more beautiful as you age.
Every month you’ll hear from my staff of beauty and skin care experts, including my clinic’s nurse practitioner Tara Smith, ARNP-NCP and award winning fitness trainer Coach Yari.
I’ll share easy-to-follow anti-aging therapies for your skin and show you how to apply the latest breakthroughs in telomere biology. These therapies, including TA-65, can slow the aging of your skin to help you look youthful regardless of your age.
To get you started I’ll send you The Skin Care Industry’s Billion Dollar Lie, a special report that uncovers the most dangerous chemicals found in today’s popular products and how to avoid them.
You’ll also discover the 7 most powerful antioxidants for your skin. These high-powered nutrients nourish and protect your skin, hair and nails. They help prevent the drying, sagging and weathering that comes from aging. They’re inexpensive and easy to find.
Here are just a few examples:
Vitamin C: Few of my patients realize this, but vitamin C is critical for your skin. Vitamin C helps produce collagen and elastin, both are vital for keeping your skin firm, vibrant and youthful. Take at least 500 milligrams twice per day with food.
Carotenoids: Key antioxidants that not only promote skin health; they’re great for your eyesight and also lower your risk of lung and breast cancer. Be sure to look for “mixed carotenoids” when you buy. Take 2,500 IU daily.
The Skin Care Industry’s Billion Dollar Lie and Ageless Beauty are free of charge. They’re yours for the asking.
To Your Good Health,
