Learn to Read Labels: Talk by Geeta Prakash at Webinar organized by Moneylife Foundation
"The sum and substance of all cosmetic products is that the large print giveth and the small print taketh away,"
The importance of reading and understanding labels on your skincare products, especially leave-ons like moisturizers, serums, deodorants etc., cannot be emphasized enough. Chemical-laden products have been linked to short-term and long-term adverse effects on not just skin but overall health as well. And if you think commercially available chemical-based skincare products are easy on your pocket, think again. The long-term damage turns out to be far more expensive than the short-term benefits, if any. So, it is imperative that we become aware as consumers as to what we are feeding our skin with.
So, how do you make sense of the confusing fine-print on product labels and what are the alternatives?
