How to Know if Bacteria is in Your Products

01/30/11

Where there is bacteria there is usually free radicals as well. Both bacteria and free radicals are not something you want to clean your face or put make-up on with. However, most people do.

In order to know if your products contain bacteria you must know if they meet pharmaceutical standards or not.

95% of skin care lines DO NOT meet pharmaceutical standards. That means they have between 5 and 30% of bacteria in them. Companies can not market them in stores if they have more than 30%. That is disgusting!!! Just to wash our face in 5% of bacteria is nasty! Bacteria is the number one cause of acne. The free radicals that must come with such pour production processes are not good for someone's skin long term.

When I was in college I struggled with acne and used many different products to help me. Little did I know I was "cleaning" my skin with bacteria that was probably a major source of my problem in the first place. Free radicals can also increase the aging process. Of course, this is something that skin care lines wont share with you.

Curious to know which skin care lines meet these precious standards? I'm going to have to let you do your own research on that. But, I can tell you if you purchased your products in a convenience store of any kind then your chances of them not meeting these standards have greatly increased. Since Pharmaceutical standards pertains to the quality upheld while testing, batching, and shipping products I can share with you that companies that don't meet them choose not to for cost reasons. In other words, the cheaper the product the greater your risk.

I consider skin care an investment in myself. Looking for instant satisfaction is just as important as long term prevention in my book.

I can share with you that Artistry is the 2nd top leading brand in the world and among the 5% that DOES meet pharmaceutical standards. In fact, we have less than .01% bacteria in our skin care line and our make-up line. Just something I like to brag about.

I hope this has helped you in understanding what quality products can help you achieve.
I wish you many blessings and a happy face:)
