NY Times: Less is more when it comes to skin care
The New York Times' most emailed article of the day reports on the absurd marketing claims for cosmetic skin creams and the high prices the products demand. A Manhattan dermatologist recommends reducing your daily skin care routine to two simple ingredients: gentle soap and sunscreen, and a third product only for specific skin needs like acne or pigment spots. Avoid the high-priced brands, because no research suggests more expensive products are any better. For more information on the products you are currently using, or to find recommendations for facial cleansers and sunscreens, check out EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetic Database.

Skin care should be kept simple, using pure and natural ingredients. Dangerous toxins and chemicals are used in everyday skin products that are actually cancer causing carcinogens that over extended use can lead to future health problems. Take a look at Miessence Certified Organic Skin Products. You will find only pure and natural ingredients that are certified organic, the world's first. Visit www.pforganics.mionegroup.com for more information, and contact me at patriciafanutti@sympatico.ca for free samples. Let's say no to dangerous chemicals in our beauty products.
Kindly,
Patricia
