Other chemicals that can cause problems include parabens, petrochemicals, artificial colours and preservatives. Unfortunately these are very common in skin care products. So I suggest you replace your current skin care products with ones that are more natural. Look for products that: •are Certified Organic •have natural products in their ingredients lists •contain do not contain petrochemicals, parabens, or sulphates. •use natural preservatives like tea tree oil, or a combination of various essential oils that have antimicrobial activity (eg lavender, lemon, rose, rosemary, sage, sandalwood), grape seed extract or honey. Avoid products that: •have the word “organic” or “natural” in their brand name but don’t have organic certification. •have lots of chemical sounding names in the ingredients list I hope this helps Cheers Sonya <br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.naturallysafe.com.au/Articles/C9/A55/Natural+Skin+Care Hi
