Am I the only one? Am I the only person who has figured out that they are completely intolerant to silicone? Some days it feels that way, what with all the great new products out there. Want shiny hair? Coat it in silicone! Want smooth skin? Slather on some silicone! It's the modern-day solution to all our beauty issues!
Unfortunately, it is also what we use to seal our windows, doors, and bathtubs. Sure, it provides a great smooth finish, and keeps out the water, but when we are talking about your SKIN, don't you want that to breathe? Wasn't that the whole issue with burlesque dancers who painted themselves gold -- they died because their skin couldn't breathe?
I'm all about looking beautiful. I'm as vain as the next girl. I want my skin to glow, my hair to shine, and to stop people in their tracks on a good day. I, however, am allergic to silicone, and finding cone-free products these days is a bit like seeing a unicorn.
My purpose here will be to get the word out about some of the amazing (and maybe not-so amazing) products that are silicone-free. Hopefully as manufacturers catch on to silicone intolerance this list will get longer. In the meantime, I plan to share my experiences and hopefully hear from some of you who are also trying to go cone-free (for any reason!).
