What are Hormone/ Endocrine disruptors, and what are they doing to your skin, body and health?

What are Hormone/ Endocrine disruptors, and what are they doing to your skin, body and health?

As well as food labels, its just as essential to educate yourself on product labels, so you know exactly what goes on your skin.

When it comes to trying to be healthy, we now all about what we’re putting into our bodies. Junk and processed food is bad for us. Eating organic to avoid pesticides is better. But what about what goes ON your body? Turns out, your favourite everyday beauty products might be secretly packed with ingredients that are actually causing havoc with your hormones.

Your endocrine system, in which all of your hormones are secreted into the blood, is affected by everyday toxins and pollutants. These pollutants trick our hormones into acting in different ways than they’re naturally supposed to behave, and so they’re called ‘endocrine disruptors’. These changes to your hormones can cause anything from irregular periods, hormonal breakouts and (in very extreme cases) birth defects, illnesses and cancer.

 

The great thing is you’ll never find any of these ingredients in your Husn Beauty products. So you can use your favourite products reassured your skin and your health is in safe hands.
