I read labels on cosmetic items like I do for my food! I didn’t realize that our skin absorbs what we put on it as much or more (?) than our stomach absorbs what we feed it. I guess I though my skin was more like my hair – I can do what I want to it and it will grow! My hair is a “renewable” resource, unlike my skin which is an organ! However, if I am needing a pick me up, I don’t follow the rules: I’ll eat french fries and take a perfumy bubble bath!

If it has the words “Sodium Lauryl Sulfate”, I run the other way.

I also read the product labels. A lot of companies claim that their “fountain-of youth” ingredients are what we need; However, when you look at the label it is usually so far down the list or even the last ingredient listed you wonder the effectiveness of it. I look to see if the product has any parabens, mineral oils, and whether or not if it is non-comedogenic. Right now I am researching the best stretch mark cream. After reading review after review I’m not really impressed with any of them and will probably get the common ingredients listed in all of them and make my own.
