6 Beauty Ingredients Dermatologists Want You to Avoid (and Why)
So you became a thorough investigator at the grocery store, putting away anything with soy, sugar, added salt and high fructose corn syrup. You’ve been careful with what you consume, why shouldn’t you be just as cautious with what you put on your skin? As the largest organ in your body, what your skin absorbs topically is important to consider, with each and every scrub, wash, dab and dip.
“Before applying any product to your skin, especially the face, you should be aware of all the ingredients that the product contains. Many skin care ingredients can potentially cause more damage than good,” dermatologist Kristina Goldenberg says. “Depending on your skin type some ingredients may be right for you that would not work well for someone else and vice versa.”
Not sure how to check your beauty sources? No problem. Here, dermatologists share some of the ingredients you need to be more careful about.
