Is Your Skin Care Regimen
Making You Sick and Old Before Your Time?

Scary Skin Care Facts

Have you ever suffered from scaly, dry, cracked and bleeding skin?

My son did -- and it was so bad that it broke my heart.

You see, my son developed eczema when he was just two weeks old.

Every time I tried to give him a relaxing evening bath, his tender skin became scaly, then it cracked, then it started to bleed.

I was beside myself!

No loving mother wants to see her child suffer, so I did what any good mommy would do: I took him to a doctor for professional advice.

That started us down a path of years of treatments involving steroid creams and petroleum jelly.

But nothing worked. And I was starting to get scared, because I heard that ongoing steroid treatments had been linked to cancer and thinning of the skin.

I got so scared that I started to do my own research -- and what I discovered floored me!

Many people who suffer from eczema have an allergy to petroleum based products! The very products our doctor had prescribed to treat my son's eczema!

Petroleum and skin care: The shocking facts

Now, if you are wondering what petroleum products have to do with skin care, the answer is: A lot!

I was shocked to learn that the chemicals listed as ingredients in most commercially sold shampoos, lotions, soaps and creams are loaded with petroleum products or petroleum by-products.

Things like:

Propylene glycol: a substance that is used to de-ice airplanes! Propylene glycol has been linked to liver and lung damage, and has been shown to kill red blood cells!

Sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate (SLS): a foaming agent that is toxic to the skin and stripss your skin's natural protective barrier, allowing your body to absorb other toxic chemicals. In its purest form, SLS is used to clean grease off garage floors!

Do you think there just might be a connection between the rise of petroleum and synthetic ingredients in the beauty products that are marketed to us -- and the rise of chronic, painful skin conditions?

I do!

Ugh! Petroleum Products = Obscene Profits

Now . . . think about this:

If eczema sufferers spend only one dollar a month on treating their skin condition with the recommended commercial products, these companies will make more than $420 million a year in sales.

In reality, eczema sufferers are more likely to spend $100 or $200 or $300 or more in search of relief.

So, multiply $420 million times 100, 200, 300 or more -- and you begin to see the massive profits that are being raked in by name-brand beauty companies.

Is it to their benefit to help you cure your condition -- and lose out on the money to be made from your suffering?
