Non-toxic Facial Cleansers

Ever wanted to try a new cleanser? Pick one up off the shelves at your local CVS and about mid-way through the ingredients label, you'll want to put it down. Most facial cleansers, even those that are "doctor recommended" like Cetaphil, actually are worse for your skin than you think. They are filled with irritants such as propylene glycol and parabens. Yuck!

So instead of fiddling with regular cleansers, even those highly recommended like Neutrogena, do your homework and read the label.
