(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 30, 2015 ) Dunblane, Perthshire -- Although controversial and still under debate among scientists Hehir, of In & Out Health advocates using 'paraben free creams' after using a derma roller.
Some of the growing evidence includes a study by Philippa Darbre, Ph.D. a cancer researcher, who found parabens present in malignant breast tumors. Experts in many countries are now recommending limits on paraben levels in skincare products and some watchdog organisations are concerned that if parabens can be stored in the body, over time they could have a cumulative effect and pose a health risk. It is this concern that Hehir advises derma roller users to avoid using creams with parabens as there is greater absorption of the creams into the deeper layers of the skin.
Hehir recognises that critics of Phillippa Darbre's study point out the limitations within the study given that noncancerous tissue from healthy breasts weren't also examined for parabens. She also accepts that the presence of parabens in tumors doesn't prove that they cause cancer, as this has not been proven.
Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization consider the estrogenic effect from parabens is safe at low levels, Hehir wonders what low levels are and how the general public know the amount of parabens being absorbed into their skin.
Parabens have been widely used as a preservative in skin and personal care products for about 70years; they stop fungus, bacteria and other microbes from growing in your favourite creams and makeup. This is a valid reason for the use of parabens and many regulatory bodies and organisations including FDA and The Personal Care Products Council are supporting that products with parabens are indeed safe to use and that the parabens are broken down, metabolized and excreted harmlessly by the body.
Hehir, also says there are companies producing skin care and personal care products using natural products as preservatives instead. This can be identified on their labels. Parabens are : methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben and isobutylparaben and can be found in shampoos, mascara, foundations and body lotions/creams etc. However the debate among scientists, product safety regulators and cosmetic manufacturers is ongoing as to whether these parabens, may actually be harmful to our health and our skin.
Although, the U.S. National Cancer Institute is claiming there is no decisive evidence to conclude that the parabens in these products are linked to breast cancer and other cancers, they also highlight more research is needed.
Hehir, says it is every individuals decision whether to use products with or without parabens and that she is only advocating to use natural products immediately after the rolling treatment as she is mindful of the deeper penetration of creams following microneedling and thinks it is better to be safe than sorry. For those using 'paraben free' natural products it is advisable to store the products in a cool place (fridge) between uses, which helps limit bacterial growth and to remove the cream to be used with a spoon rather than dipping fingers into it.
Hehir, personally uses nature's products after rolling e.g application of honey or mango or advocado face masks. She is always amazed how soft her skin feels after doing this and provides some recipes in her free ebook sent to customers when their Derma Roller order has been shipped.
