Why Is It Beneficial To Go Paraben Free?



Paraben has been a topic of discussion in the beauty industry, particularly in recent years. While some assure that parabens are safe, others link them with a variety of health risks. While more research is needed to truly determine whether or not parabens are a threat, there are several benefits to being on the safe side and opting for paraben free products.
Parabens Appear to Mimic Estrogen: 
Parabens seem to mimic the hormone estrogen, which is naturally found in both genders, but exists in greater quantity in women. Estrogen is in charge of female secondary sexual characteristics such as menstruation. As with most hormones, having too much or too little can be problematic.
Avoid a Potential Cancer Risk: 
Numerous studies have linked parabens to cancer. This is due in part to the fact that parabens are not easily broken down in the human body and may continue to accumulate, and to mimic estrogen, leading to increased risks of breast cancer in women and testicular cancer in men.
Help the Environment: 
The parabens found in soaps, cosmetics and shampoos eventually end up in the ocean. While studies are ongoing about the effects of parabens in the water, there have been cases of marine animals, including dolphins, found with high paraben content. 
Paraben Free Alternatives: 
Perhaps the best benefit of going paraben free is the broad variety of alternatives. The potential risks posed by parabens has prompted many in the skin care industry to seek healthier alternatives. Whether you are looking for a paraben free skin care cream, or a paraben free Vitamin C and E serum, you have plenty of options from brand names, as well as instore and online retailers.
With potential risks and plenty of easy to access alternatives, going paraben free is simply the safer choice.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
