<p><strong>Because You Are Beautiful! </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=50916" target="_blank">Use Plant Based Nutrient Rich Anti-Aging Skin Care</a></p>
<p><strong>Why Cleanse? </strong><br />
To remove dirt without stripping precious natural oils</p>
<p><strong>Why use Cleansing Masks?</strong><br />
Occasional deep cleansing – goes beyond the surface layers</p>
<p><strong>Why Refine or Polish?</strong><br />
To remove surface dead skin cells</p>
<p><strong>Why Tone?</strong><br />
To pick up traces of cleanser left behind, to prepare for treatment or moisture, turn off iron in the tap water</p>
<p><strong>Why Treat your skin?</strong><br />
To encourages cell turnover, to brighten dark circles and spots, to minimize lines and wrinkles, to recaptures firmness and softness , to protect the skin from photoaging.</p>
<p><strong>Why Moisturize?</strong><br />
To quench your skins thirst for moisture, minimize fine lines and wrinkles</p>
<p><strong>Look for these healthy features in your product purchases:<br />
</strong><br />
•Water free<br />
•Products specifically designed for the eye area<br />
•Plant based products<br />
•Oil free<br />
•Soap free<br />
•Dermatology tested<br />
•Won’t clog pores<br />
•Not tested on animals<br />
•No animal derived ingredients</p>
<p><strong>Avoid these ingredients in your product purchases:</strong></p>
<p>•Animal derived ingredients/testing<br />
•Avobenzone – preservative found in sunscreens that decomposes when exposed to UV light<br />
•Oils – mineral and vegetable – moisture sealants – block skins natural oils<br />
•No soap – high alkaline – often animal derived<br />
•No isopropyl palmitate – guaranteed to induce black heads<br />
•No propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, or sodium laureth sulfate – these ingredients are questionable –   carcinogenic<br />
•No dyes – not necessary in any product – can irritate skin<br />
•No DEA – common foaming agent – currently under investigation by the NTP (National Toxicology Program)<br />
•Fragrances other than those that are hypoallergenic</p>
<p><strong>Finally, I developed systemic candida and severe allergies to fragrances - I believe the preservatives listed below were part of what contributed to my ill health</strong><em> </em></p>
<p><em>•No imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, quartnium 15 – common preservatives that “out gas” releasing formaldehyde – sensitivity to formaldehyde is on the rise – may provoke auto immune response<br />
