Complexions Celebrates Earth Day on Fox: Denise & Diane Lee talk Green, Chemical-Free Skincare

Diane Lee of Fox23 and Denise discuss the ins and outs of green, chemical-free skincare during a special Earth Day segment shot live on April 22nd. Topics covered include: specific ingredients that should always be avoided, what makes these chemicals so potentially harmful to our health and easy-to-remember tips on how to distinguish legitimate eco-friendly, organic products lines from those that aren't.

A few key points to take away from the talk:

1. Green products are always *sulfate free*, *paraben free* & *preservative free* . These chemicals can be toxic to some of us - parabens in particular can mimick the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers. Yikes!

2. Natural alternatives typically make use of essential oils, citrus compounds like grapefruit & even bark to make up for their lack of inorganic 'preservatives'.

3. Packaging is very important! Make sure the plastic is recycled and the product is certified/stamped "vegan" (meaning no animal testing or derivatives).
