Lately, i've been addicted to different asian skin care products. I did some research on it and i searched for bloggers' review to have a general overview of how these products work and their effect.
Since most of those bloggers said that the product worked as it promised, i became more curious until i came across this korean book which said that some skin care products don't do good especially if they contain these harmful ingredients as: *PARABENS - could possibly cause breast tumor as some researchers said that large amounts of parabens had been found being accumulated on breast cancer tumors
*ALCOHOL - dry skin
*MINERAL OIL - clog pores
*TRICLOSAN - they are found in most antibacterial soaps, deodorants, etc. well, triclosan is said to be a hormonal disruptor and it stores itself in fats, so it accumulates in our body too.
*and many more
Of course its hard to find products without these ingredients as they appear to almost all skin care products including, lotion, face mists, toners and the like.

It is harder to find products without these ingredients indeed, but it does not mean it is impossible. You just need to look a bit harder and be prepared to pay a bit more in some cases. I've found organic skin care products to be really good.
