#6 intimate wash

This is one product that companies are desperately trying to make you believe as an essential women care product. But is it really not necessary to keep the intimate areas clean. Well it's like hiring somebody for a task which is already being done. Ask any gynecologist and they will tell you that vagina is a self-cleaning organ. It contains Lactobacilli bacteria which produce lactic acid to maintain ideal pH of the birth canal preventing infections and this is exactly what these commercial products try to lure you with. But why would you need it when your body is naturally doing the job. In fact the other harsh chemicals in them may irreversible change the pH of the intimate region causing serious complications. According to doctors vaginal Douching which is cleaning the birth canal from inside is allowed straight forward no!

 

what is however need it is the cleaning of the vulva for which mother nature's very own intimate wash that is only water is good enough. Will if water alone doesn't suffice you can use a toxin free natural soap along with water. Do not fall for those so-called sensitive bathing bars. Excessively washing it even with natural soap can cause allergies. Once a day is more than enough. There are some brands which claimed to make ayurvedic and natural intimate washes as well. Although they too have Harsh chemicals gynecologists have useful expert recommendations which can actually help you maintain proper intimate hygiene and prevent infections at the same time.

#5 hair removal creams

For many women hair removal is synonymous to Veet. Capturing  the major market share. It is popular because its appeal less experience, fast, affordable and convenient to use. But do you know what actually it's made of. Have you read the list of warnings written on it. Because if you had you would soon start hunting for safer options. One of the most common side effects of using Veet as reported by women is that it causes skin darkening. no wonder the list of its ingredients sums it up. The chemicals are so strong that they dissolve the hair within 3 minutes. Company strictly cautions not to keep it applied beyond 6 minutes. The catchy phrases like 5 in 1 skin benefits, salon like silky smooth skin are thoroughly misleading. Lotus milk and Jasmine fragrances are very strong and ofcourse it's artificial to somehow snub the mall odor produced from the hair removing chemicals. If you were using it then throw this right away as much safer options are available. Among so many hair removal products there are three safe and practical alternatives.

first option:

Waxing which is slightly painful as the hair is removed from its root. Takes 3 to 4 Weeks for the hair to grow back. costs between 500 to 1000 rupees per session. and also one needs to be careful when choosing a wax.

For example this popular Rica milk Liposoluble wax for sensitive skin has artificial fragrance added in it. Where as eovea  organic hair removal wax is 100% natural and organic.

Second option:

Using a razor a painless experience razor are economical safe and convenient to use although as it removes hair from the surface they grow back within two weeks.

third option:

Epilator which is quite interesting it is a small device with rotating disc which when moved at 90° against the normal hair growth remove the hair from its root although it is a painful experience in the beginning but most women get used to it and sometimes it is much more convenient than waxing and needs to be done less frequently than razors it may sound costly but it is actually the cheapest of the lot as the life of one epilator is minimum 4 to 5 years. So discard veet and choose any of the three options at your own convenience.

#4 nail polish

Painting your nails is seen as a form of self-expression. Although hiding behind those glossy colours and fruity names is a harmful makes of toxic chemicals. Most commercial nail polishes consists of what is now known as the toxic drive of DnBP(Dibutyl phthalate),toluene and formaldehyde. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Nails are dead tissue? Will they are more than that. Today modern research has confirmed that chemicals get absorbed through the nail bed into the bloodstream within 15 hrs of application and potentially damage the organs. Even Ayurveda predicts weakened bones and more hair breakage is come if you use nail polish regularly. No wonder chipping of nails is so common among women these days. So what option do we have will because the commercial nail polishes do so much making a nail polish without using strong chemicals is a challenge which is being faced by genuine formulators.

I came across some brands like the bad company and Eba which claimed to be non toxic but frankly they may be better but aren't safe either. In fact companies are not even required to list their ingredients. So does that mean we have to stop using nail polish all together well considering their toxicity. It could be a wise decision but if you can't do that here are some practical recommendations from expert dermatologists and ayurvedic scriptures that will help you significantly minimise the damage.

#3 health drinks

Horlicks women's Plus is extensively marketed as a miracle drink for women health. I wonder why I mean both regular Horlicks and women Horlicks have almost the same ingredients. Actually women Plus is worse you know. Why? If you go through its nutritional information you will see that it boosts of 0 grams sugar. However when you taste it, you will find it sweet. Check back the ingredients it has artificial sweetener(INS 950) which is suspected for its numerous side effects. Forget stronger bones, you should be thankful you didn't get a disease.

How much better option is to buy 100% natural shatavari powder

A well known for women health. Put half teaspoon of it in warm milk. Sweaten it with natural sweetener and drink it for real benefit save your pocket and health at the same time.

 

Talking about StriVeda don't fall for this so-called women drink. It has many artificial ingredients. Millet houses millet-based drink is a great option. If you really want strong bones and of course humble clean milk is another simple and straight forward option.

#2 Deodorant

Women fragrance market is close to 500 CR in India. All thanks to the misleading ads of big giants that propel women to use this products in the name of hygiene. These company's are most of sweat control. Of course the aluminium based perspirants  used in most commercial deodorants actually block the sweat glands. A research suggested that 50% breast cancer cases are due to the use of these aluminium based Antiperspirants butane pesticides and artificial fragrance used in them. It may cause skin darkening, itching, allergy and even hormonal imbalance. It's high time we understand that sweating is body's natural detox process. Blocking it we will have to pay the price. But In the scorching summer of India sweating is common and it can stink. So we need natural deodorant which kill the order without blocking the sweat glands.

Forest essentials lavender and neem deodorant spray, Juicy chemistries blood orange & germanium roll on stick, coconut's rose deodorant cream, caveman naturals dio cream are some genuine options which use natural essential oils along with other safe ingredients go for them.

As for your budget and choice select what you want. There are some brands that do claim to be natural but, they too are LPG cylinders in organic packaging so beware.

#1 compact powder

Women swear by a compact powder to be an essential makeup accessory as it locks the makeup and gives a long-lasting blemish free lock. However the problem is that most commercial compact and loose powder are talc based. Talc even though is a naturally occurring mineral but it contains asbestos which is a proven cancer causing substance. However since the makeup industry is highly and regulated the uses of talc is rampant. Especially in face powders moreover talc absorbs a bit too much oil from the skin causing dryness and in some cases acne breakouts. So what is the solution? Well it's in your kitchen you will need three ingredients. In a bowl take some arrowroot powder to this add natural unsweetened cocoa powder as per your own skin tone, add a pinch of turmeric and mix well that's it.
Your loose powder is ready. You can make it once and it will serve you for months. It is economical and works just as well minus the side effects. Do give it a try.

So friends these were those six women products that I suggest you should stop using immediately. I believe one should be aware about what goes in making these daily products.
