SLP 327: Self Love Quicky - The Hidden Dangers of EDC’s

Imagine this: you wake up, wash your face, apply moisturiser, and put on some makeup. Sounds like a regular morning routine, right? But did you know that you could be exposing yourself to over 200 chemicals before even stepping out of your bathroom? This is what I call the ‘unseen bathroom chemical cocktail’ and it’s not only unsafe it’s avoidable. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are substances that interfere with your hormonal system can be found in a wide range of products, including skincare items like lotions, cleansers, shave creams, haircare and sunscreens and there are a number of health risks to consider. The accumulative exposure to EDCs has been linked to a variety of health issues, including: hormonal imbalances, infertility and an increased risk of certain cancers. According to the World Health Organization, EDCs are a “global threat” that needs immediate attention. And this is why natural skincare, and organic ingredients are the way to go. Opting for natural skincare products can significantly reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals. Natural products often contain one-ingredient, organic superfoods that nourish your skin without the risks associated with EDCs. Many ask where to watch out for these endocrine disrupting hormones? In this week’s Quicky I give some tips on where to avoid and what to replace them with. And this is why I created our amazing Twenty8 Essentials brand.

Phthalates can cause reproductive issues, including lower sperm count and infertility, developmental problems in children, and increased risk of certain cancers, particularly breast cancer. Phthalates are commonly used to increase flexibility. Synthetic fragrances can contain a myriad of undisclosed chemicals. The bottom line is we have a choice every single day. Your skin deserves the best. Wellness starts from within, and what you put on your skin matters just as much as what you put in your body.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.
