You Have to Hear About the Skin Care Products That are Taking Beauty to a Whole New Level

Hey there, beauty lovers! Let's talk about what's really going on with our skincare routines. We're always on the lookout for products that promise to give us glowing, wrinkle and spot free, healthy skin, but have you ever stopped to think about what's actually in those products?

I've been there too - using products that seemed harmless, but were actually loaded with concerning and problematic ingredients like parabens, phalates, synthetic fragrances, heavy metals and more. These ingredients can wreak havoc on our hormones, leading to a host of health problems and even disease.

The first step for me was to switch to cleaner, non-toxic skincare options, and I'm excited to share my experience with you. Let's compare the difference in skincare lines: there are several that have concerning and problematic ingredients, and a couple I’d like to focus on that are clean and effective.

The Concerning Options: Brands like MAC Cosmetics, Maybelline, L’Oreal, Revlon and Cover Girl to Name a Few have Been Under Scrutiny for their Problematic Ingredients

Many of these lines’ products promise to provide a healthy base for skincare, but it's essential to consider the potential risks associated with some of their ingredients.

Here are 10 ingredients to be aware of:

1. Parabens (e.g., methylparaben, propylparaben): Preservatives linked to hormone disruption (think acne, period problems, and fertility issues) and breast cancer concerns.

2. Synthetic fragrances: May contain phthalates, linked to reproductive issues and hormone disruption.

3. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): Foaming agent that can cause skin irritation and may be contaminated with known carcinogens.

4. Triclosan: Antibacterial agent linked to hormone disruption and antibiotic resistance.

5. Formaldehyde-releasing agents (e.g., quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin): May release formaldehyde, a known carcinogen.

6. Phthalates (e.g., DEP, DHP): Linked to reproductive issues, birth defects, and hormone disruption.

7. Mineral oil: May be contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), known carcinogens.

8. Propylene glycol: May cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.

9. Artificial colors (e.g., FD&C colors): May be contaminated with heavy metals, linked to cancer and neurotoxicity.

10. Aluminum salts (e.g., aluminum chloride, aluminum zirconium): Linked to Alzheimer's disease and breast cancer concerns.

Please check the products you’re using now for any of these ingredients, If you are using them, don’t panic. But it is time to start weaning those out of your daily routine and start replacing them with some safer options.

One Clean Option I Love is Biossance

Biossance has several amazing clean option in their stores

Biossance offers clean and non-toxic skincare options that are gentle on our skin and our bodies. With scores of 3 and 4 on the Think Dirty app, I can trust that I'm putting safer, effective products on my skin. Biossance products focus on hydration, anti-aging, and skin support, using hero ingredients and vitamin C and omega fatty acids. Their products have won many awards and are safe for those with sensitive skin. It has been my go to brand for several years. That is, until I started researching Alavida.

The Ultimate Solution: Lifewave's Alavida Skin Care Trio

Alavida Trio comes with 2 sleeves of patches, the day and night cream

And now what really sets my heart singing is my new favorite Lifewave's Alavida Skin Care Trio. This amazing product line not only provides incredible hydration and anti-aging benefits, but also provides a host of wellness benefits. What other skin care line offers that?

The Benefits of Making the Switch

By choosing a clean and non-toxic skincare line like Biossance or Lifewave's Alavida Skin Care Trio, you'll not only be doing your skin a favor, but also your overall health.

My new top choice is the Alavida Skin Care line! Here is why; it is over 98% natural, free of those 10 toxic ingredients, and has been studied and proven. A study done by BioScreen Testing found that, when used together, the Daily Refresh Facial Nectar, Nightly Restore Facial Crème, and Alavida Patch provided results in as little as 10 minutes, increasing skin hydration, improving skin firmness and the appearance of the evenness of skin tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving the overall appearance of skin.

With the addition of the Alavida patch this line takes skin care to the next level. The patches increase the production of your body’s epithalamin which supports:

1. - Improved organ function of the kidneys, pancreas, thyroid, and liver

2. - Improved frontal lobe function, leading to greater mental clarity homeostasis and metabolism

3. - Lengthened telomeres and chromosome repair associated with longevity

4. - Improved skin hydration, tone, brightened complexion, and radiance

5. - Enhanced Immune function

6. - Regulated circadian rhythms and melatonin production for better sleep

7. - Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

Pro Tips for new patchers:

Use Alavida only at night as it will make most users sleepy.

The best locations for this patch is on the right temple or the third eye.

Wear five nights in a row with two nights off for best results.

The Price of Good Health

So, what's the price of good health? Biossance products might cost around $190-$200 for a starter set of day cream, night cream and eye cream. And I love these products because they do last for months and they do moisturize and improve the look of my skin. But the fact is, Biossance can’t offer me all the benefits of Alavida’s Trio—better function for several of my organs, sharper mental clarity, adrenal support, telomere elongation, better sounder more restorative sleep, and beautiful radiant skin. The Lifewave Alavida Skin Care Trio is just $150 on a subscription order and reports are that the creams along with the patches last about 2 month or more—depending on how much you use of course. Considering the benefits, Lifewave's Alavida Skin Care Trio is an investment in your overall health and well-being.

Are You Ready to Make the Switch?

If you're ready to ditch the concerning ingredients, choose a skincare line that truly cares for your health and well-being, consider making the switch to Biossance. But if you are ready to take your skin and your health to the next level, choose Lifewave's Alavida Skin Care Trio. Your skin - and your body - will thank you!

P.S. IN LOVE ALREADY with your skin care? (Hopefully it’s clean!) You can always stick with your current face creams and serums and get a 3 months supply of Alavida patches for $150. It might be the best of both worlds until you’re ready to try the trio? The Alavida eye cream can also be tried separately for $69.95 on subscription order.
