MI Bye!

So I hear about a chemical methylisothiazolinone (MI) - I am no skin expert or scientist just a regular 9-5 working woman. Often complaining about skin issues! Changing things such as diet, drink, exercise levels. It certainly is worrying to think about what chemicals we are exposing ourselves to on a daily basis. I often wonder why I have various skin issues, could this be the answer?

Google it ! You'll be surprised how many manufacturers and high end products use this stuff!

Apparently it causes rashes lumps and swelling - lumps I could be mistaking for Acne?

I am not sure i don't seem to have allergies and I am sure symptoms would be more severe and I don't want to be hysterical but certainly am going to start checking ingredients on my products!

I know sometimes we can get on 'fads' about things but surely all this artificial stuff can't be good for your skin or skin care routine. I really am not a believer in looking at the ingredient list of any products. I don't understand half of the ingredients and that is a major 'turn off' for me. I am starting to lose faith in the beauty industry in terms of trusting the products to not be harmful! I will be looking at they ingredients list for all of my products and saying bye bye to those which harbour these harmful chemicals

At the end of the day we are still living in the generation of artificial beauty and we won't know until those generations get older and we see the knock on effect of artificial chemicals or products.
