Think Dirty
Have I got your attention? 🤣 No I'm not trying to be a bad influence 😇 This is an app that I believe everyone should have on their phone! It tells you whether the beauty products that you are using are "clean" (ie safe) or "dirty" (ie contain potentially harmful chemicals)
It takes about 26 seconds for chemicals from anything that you put on your skin to be absorbed into your blood stream. If you think about it, this is how nicotine patches work! Once these chemicals are in your blood stream they are taken all around your organs. Many ingredients used in the beauty industry have been shown to be hormone disruptors, have been linked to cancer and can have other potentially damaging effects on the body. It's frightening when you start looking into it! Another great website for checking products and individual ingredients is www.ewg.org/skindeep
A good friend of mine introduced me to the "Think Dirty" app about 4 years ago. I was really shocked when I checked the products I'd been using! They were from a well respected, high end company, but all came out as red, meaning potential harmful! I immediately threw them all in the bin and decided to buy safer products….check your products then contact me for safer options.
