Several years ago, the Colombian presenter Catalina Robayo decided to leave behind beauty products with toxic ingredients and embarked on the adventure of using cosmetics that not only left her beautiful on the outside, but also protected her health. Since then Robayo, host of the show Trendiando (RCN Internacional) and lover of animals, has become an expert in the field and here she shares some of her best tips for girls who want to start using natural products that in addition to being The best thing you can do for your skin, they help you contribute a grain of sand for the conservation of the planet.

"It is important to know that all products that are applied to the body such as shampoo, creams, makeup, soap, are considered cosmetic products," says the former Miss Colombia, who then tells us how some chemicals found in cosmetics and also gives us tips that we can put into practice when buying natural products or choosing brands that protect the environment.

1-Toxic chemicals for health are found not only in food, they are also found in cosmetic products that enter the bloodstream through the skin, accumulating in our body and causing diseases as serious as cancer.

2-It is estimated that each day a woman can consume approximately 12 cosmetic products with 160 different ingredients in which ingredients such as aluminum, triclosan, parabens and diethanolamine predominate, which are harmful to our health. There is a lot of research today associating aluminum deodorants with breast cancer.

3- reading the labels is not a topic only for the products we eat. I recommend reading the labels, that is key when buying a cosmetic product. In this way you can see their components and also know if they are cruelty-free, vegan or organic products.

4- Using products with cruelty free certification is absolutely important, because many times we are unaware that behind this product many animals suffered painful, cruel and unnecessary tests. Using products that were not first treated in animals is a sign of love for the planet. On the Internet there are several lists of brands that are cruelty free and those that are.

5- Vegan certified products do not have any animal ingredients, nor derived from an animal.

6- A wonderful way to help the planet is by using products or brands with eco-friendly packaging.

7- I recommend using the brands that are actually committed to our health and the health of the planet. Everything that says "bio or eco" is not always. The advantage is that there are many brands that you can find so that we are clean and beautiful both outside and inside.
