Anti-Aging Creams can Increase Cancer Risk

Your face cream could be increasing your chance of getting cancer. The Chairman of the US Cancer Prevention Coalition says that ingredients found in some of these creams can cause cancer. This would include AHA (alpha-hydroxy acids) and limonene.

Many products claiming to rid skin of wrinkles and fine lines actually strip away the protective top layer and leave it vulnerable to sun damage and dangerous toxins, according to Dr Sam Epstein, chairman of the US Cancer Prevention Coalition.

He said the active ingredient alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), found in many leading brands of face cream, were “probably the most dangerous cosmetic products on the market”.

It is a ugg boots ultra strange thing, to note the excess of this passion, and how it braves the ugg bailey button sale nature, and value of things, by this; that the speaking in a perpetual hyperbole, is comely in nothing but in love. Neither is it merely in the uggs bailey button phrase; for whereas it hath been well said, that the arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man`s self; certainly the classic tall uggs lover is more. For there was never proud man thought so absurdly well of him self, as the lover doth of the person loved; and therefore it was well said, That it is impossible to love, and to be wise.
