At Define Laser, we are proud to offer our clients Aspect Skincare, an innovative skincare range that has been developed free from harmful ingredients.
Why are natural ingredients so important you may ask?
Studies suggest that our skin, the largest organ in our body, absorbs close to 60% of the topical products with which the skin comes into contact.
This blog explains what these harmful ingredients can be found in skincare and sunscreen products and why it’s time to switch to a better alternative such as Aspect Skincare.
Toxic Skincare Ingredients
It is time to turn the bottle over and look at what is in your products.
A few well-known ingredients to watch out for are:
- Parabens – are a cosmetic preservative can cause skin irritation, headaches, and nausea.
- Polyethylene Glycol & and DEA (also MEA/TEA) found in cleansers, strips your skin’s natural barrier, and removes moisture from the skin causing dryness, irritation, and acne.
- Mineral Oil – this ingredient sits on top of the skin and can cause congestion, acne, irritation, and premature ageing. It can also prevent nutrient absorption and toxin release which then suffocates the skin.
Harmful Sunscreen Ingredients
Harmful ingredients can also be found in sunscreens. Here at Define Laser we are strong advocates for wearing sunscreen, so we will always encourage you to do so, just be mindful about checking the ingredients first!
Ingredients you’ll want to avoid are:
- Oxybenzone – suspected endocrine disruptor which may interfere with our hormones.
- Octinoxate/octylmethoxycinnamate – another endocrine disruptor that can mimic oestrogen & may disrupt thyroid function.
- Homosalate – hormone disruptor.
- Octocrylene – research has shown high rates of skin allergy.
What can bad skincare ingredients do to your Skin?
As you can see, bad ingredients in your skincare can wreak havoc on your skin and can cause reactions, irritations, breakouts and even premature aging.
What can you do to achieve healthier skin?
If you would like to achieve healthier skin, the first thing we would recommend would be to dispose of any skincare that contains these harmful ingredients mentioned above.
We then recommend booking a free initial consultation with Dr. Lindsay Watson so that we can assess your skin discuss your treatment goals.
This may include Laser Skin Treatments or products that would benefit your skin.

When it comes to looking after your skin, Dr Watson always advises looking for a pure alternative and where possible, embracing a toxin-free beauty regimen.
