You work hard to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. You know that organic foods can help you avoid ingesting nasty hormones and chemicals but did you know that these toxins are creeping into your system in other ways? Your moisturizers, eye creams, and make up may seem harmless, but check out the labels and you'll find a laundry list of tongue-twisting ingredients, many of which could be hazardous to your health. In a recent survey, conducted by Health, eighty three percent of responding consumers indicated that they would rather use all natural body products.
The skin
care industry is responding to this demand. The natural and organic skin
care product sector has seen a growth of thirty nine percent over the last
year. Some of these products may claim to be all-natural, while still containing
a slew of chemicals and toxins. Here's what you need to know about natural
skin care and how to determine if the product you are using is free of
harmful chemicals.
Why Choose Natural Skin Care Products?
Dirt, dust, pollutants, and other environmental
pollutants enter the body through the skin, providing a more significant
gateway to your system than food. The National Institute of Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that 884 chemicals used in personal care
products and cosmetics are known to be toxic. And a recent Canadian study
in Pediatric Drugs found cosmetic and personal care products as the most
common cause of unintentional poisonings of kids under six.
The chemicals and toxins found in most commercial skin care products also
have a detrimental effect on the environment, although this effect is just
beginning to be understood. In March, a team of US Geological Survey scientists
showed that a variety of chemicals from personal care products were among
95 wastewater contaminants found in US waterways.
Why poison yourself and the environment with toxic chemicals and pollutants?
Natural skin care products are healthier for you, for your skin, and for
the environment. But many products may claim to be all-natural while still
containing a number of harmful ingredients. Make sure you read and understand
the product label to ensure that the product your using is as natural as
it claims to be.
Reading the Ingredients Label
Organic personal care manufacturing needs strict standards and enforcement
in order to be effective. Currently, some manufacturers claim their products
are organic merely as a marketing gimmick. One look at their products ingredients
clearly suggests otherwise. Only by tying organic beauty care closely to
the National Organic Program standards can the "lifestyle" marketed by
the manufacturers represent the values at the core of organic agriculture.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies cosmetics into 13 categories,
but it does not regulate them. According to the FDA, "A cosmetic manufacturer
may use any ingredient or raw material and market the final product without
government approval." Seven toxins are banned, but many more known toxins
and carcinogens are allowed in cosmetic formulations. Less than one percent
of the FDA's budget is for the evaluation of skin care products.
Many commercial skin care products have been regularly found to contain
toxic chemicals. Surprisingly, most personal care products are not tested
for health and safety. And because the FDA does not regulate skin care
manufacturers, questionable ingredients often make their way into their
formulas. These ingredients may seem harmless in the short-term, but their
chemical components are stored in the fatty tissues of the body where they
accumulate and magnify over time.
Cosmetics and personal care products are marketed based on the quality
and content of their formulas. Many products claim to be filled with expensive
vitamins, oils, and perfumes. Others claim to utilize an all-natural formula.
But how can you be sure that the products you buy actually contain the
ingredients they claim to have? Read the label, right? But unless you happen
to be a scientist or chemist, the ingredient list on most cosmetics and
personal care products will look like a long list of mind-numbing, tongue-twisting
names.
This is where natural and organic skin care products should stand out.
If a product claims to be all natural, its ingredients should be easily
recognizable as natural components. Also, the ingredients should be listed
in descending order with the most prominent factors listed first. Scrutinize
the first several listings in the product to be sure that they are the
natural ingredients you are looking for. If a skin care product contains
an ingredient that you are unsure about, write down it's name and do a
little research. A quick online search should reveal it's true nature.
As a consumer, you need to be on the look out for chemicals and toxic ingredients
that can be harmful to your skin and your body. You would not even think
about eating a food that contained chemicals or cancer causing agents.
Don't let these toxins enter your system through your beauty product either!

Natural Skin Care Products - Toxic Chemicals
How can you tell when a product that claims to be natural, really is? You
might try reading the label, but unless you are a chemist, this may get
a little confusing. Ingredients in skin care and beauty products are listed
by the chemical names. An all-natural product should stand out from the
rest because it should contain more easily recognizable ingredients. But
if you want to be sure, you should carefully scrutinize the label and research
any ingredients that you are unsure about. Here are a few in particular
to avoid:
1,4-dioxane: This carcinogen is found in many cosmetics as a by-product
of other chemical combinations. Products that use Ethoxylated surfactants
as foaming agents or emulsifiers often produce 1,4-doixane in the manufacturing
process. This chemical is considered toxic if it is inhaled, absorbed through
the skin or ingested.
Anionic Surfactants: surfactants are used in about 90% of foaming personal
care products. They are also used in car washes, garage floor cleaners,
and as engine degreasers. Common anionic surfactants include: Sodium Lauryl
Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS),
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (ALES), Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Sodium Lauroyl
Sarcosinate, Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate, Potassium Coco Hydrolysed Collagen,
TEA (Triethanolamine) Lauryl Sulfate, TEA (Triethanolamine) Laureth Sulfate,
Lauryl or Cocoyl Sarcosine, Disodium Oleamide Sulfosuccinate, Disodium
Laureth Sulfosuccinate, and Disodium Dioctyl Sulfosuccinate. Avoid all
of these ingredients if they are on the label.
Cationic Surfactants: These surfactants are commonly used in hair conditioning
products as they have anti-static properties. However, they are synthetic,
irritating to hair follicles, and toxic. Long-term use can cause hair to
become dry and brittle. Common cationic surfactants include Stearalkonium
chloride, Benzalkonium chloride, Cetrimonium chloride, Cetalkonium chloride,
and Lauryl dimonium hydrolysed collagen. Chloromethylisothiazolinone and
Isothiazolinone: these two harmful chemicals can be corrosive to the eyes
and skin. Long term exposure can cause permanent eye damage and third degree
burns to skin. They can be fatal if ingested and they can cause damage
to the mucous membranes of the lungs if inhaled.
DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (Monoethanolamine), & TEA (triethanolamine):
These chemicals are often used in personal care cleansers to adjust the
pH of the formula. They can cause allergic reactions, eye irritation, dryness,
and toxicity if used over long periods. These known carcinogens are already
restricted in Europe but they may still be found in the formulas of American
and Asian cosmetics.
Diazolidinyl urea and DMDM Hydantoin: These chemicals contain formaldehyde,
a toxic carcinogen, and it can cause dermatitis, burning, irritation of
the mucous membranes, inflammation, and watering of the eyes.
Ethoxylated surfactants: These surfactants are commonly used in cosmetic
formulas as foaming agents, emulsifiers, and humectants. They may be listed
on the ingredient label as "PEG", "polyethylene", "polyethylene glycol", "polyoxyethylene", "-eth-",
or "-oxynol." These chemicals form 1,4-dioxane (a known carcinogen) as
a byproduct in the manufacturing process.
FD&C Color Pigments: These synthetic color pigments are made from coal
tar. They contain heavy metal salts that leave toxic byproducts on the
skin. These chemicals have been tested on animals and found to cause cancer.
Formaldehyde: This is another cancer causing agent that is commonly found
in commercial make-up products. It can cause allergic reactions, headaches,
and chronic fatigue.
Imidazolidinyl urea: This chemical releases another harmful chemical, formaldehyde,
as a byproduct in the manufacturing process. It may be listed under the
trade name Germall 115.
Lanolin: Lanolin is used in many commercial cosmetic formulas, and it is
often considered harmless. However, it is obtained from the wool of sheep
and is therefore contaminated with the pesticide DDT unless it is obtained
from organic sources.
Mineral Oil: Also called liquid parrafinum, mineral oil is a byproduct
of petroleum that coats the skin like plastic. It disrupts the skin's natural
ability to purge itself of toxins, slows down cell function and can cause
premature aging. Mineral oil can also be found in paraffin wax, paraffin
oil and petrolatum.
Nitrosating Agents: Chemicals that cause nitrosamine contamination have
been found in laboratory tests to cause cancer. Nitrosamines can be found
in the following chemical ingredients: 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol,
Cocoyl Sarcosine, DEA compounds, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Formaldehyde, Hydrolysed
Animal Protein, Lauryl Sarcosine, MEA compounds, Quaternium-7, 15, 31,
60, etc, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth
Sulfate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, and TEA
compounds.
Paraben preservatives (methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl): These chemicals
are often used in cosmetic formulas to inhibit microbial formation and
extend the shelf life of the make-up products. They are commonly used in
commercial applications even though they are known to be highly toxic and
to cause allergic reactions and skin rashes.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) compounds: This petroleum product is used in
commercial cleaners to break up grease and in spray on oven cleaners. Over
time, this chemical can cause premature aging when used in personal care
products.
Propylene/Butylene Glycol: This chemical compound is considered so toxic
by the EPA that it mandates that its workers wear protective equipment
when handling it. It is a petroleum product that penetrates the skin easily
and can cause brain, liver, and kidney malfunctions. This ingredient is
often found in stick deodorants where it can cause acute and chronic health
hazards.
Rancid Natural Emollients: Creams and other commercial cosmetics made from
refined vegetable oils contain harmful transfatty acids. Polyunsaturated
oils can also oxidize quickly, causing free-radical damage to the skin
and premature aging. They are also missing the essential nutrients, fatty
acids, and vitamins that help protect and moisturize the skin.
Silicone derived emollients: Like other emollients, these products coat
the skin like plastic wrap, and disrupt the skin's ability to breathe and
release toxins. They can accumulate in the liver and lymph nodes and promote
the development of tumors. Common silicone derived emollients include Dimethicone,
Dimethicone Copolyol, and Cyclomethicone.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (ALES): When combined
with other ingredients, these chemicals form nitrosating agents and have
a carcinogenic effect on the body. Be especially wary of semi-natural products
that claim to be derived from coconut oil.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS): These chemicals
can alter the immune system and cause damage to the eyes, digestive system,
nervous system, lungs, and skin. They are commonly found in foaming personal
care products. And may be listed as ingredients on semi-natural products
that claim to come from coconut oil.
Stearalkonium Chloride: Originally developed as a fabric softener, this
chemical is often found in hair conditioners and creams. They are toxic
chemicals that can cause allergic reactions on contact.
Toluene: This chemical can be particularly dangerous if inhaled or absorbed
through the skin. Aspiration can cause chemical pneumonitis, a fatal disorder.
It is highly flammable in both liquid and vapor form and it may affect
the liver, kidneys, nervous system, and blood. Overexposure can cause fatigue,
confusion, headache, dizziness, or numbness. Severe overexposure can cause
coma and death. Exposure to toulene can also affect the proper development
of a growing fetus.

Skin Care Products
You are never too young or too old to start taking care of your skin. In fact, skin care and protection should be an essential part of your health, fitness, and beauty regime. If you take care of your skin, your skin will take care of you! But with all of the lotions, creams, and potions on the market, it can be difficult to know which product will work for you. Many products claim to remove wrinkles or heal dry skin. Others claim to contain expensive ingredients that they say will improve the effects of the product. Here is a guide to the basic skin care products on the market, and how you can decipher which product will work best for you.
Alcohol, Isopropyl (SD-40): This drying agent is a common ingredient in
many cosmetic products. When used directly on the skin, it strips off the
outer most protective layer, exposing the body to bacteria, fungus, molds,
and other toxins. It is derived from petroleum and may promote brown spots
or premature aging.
A Look At The Products
There are several types of skin care products that may make a useful additional
to your daily skin care. These include cleansers, sunscreens, moisturizers,
eye creams, toners, exfoliants, retinoids, herbals, and skin care supplements.
Cleansers: Cleansers help to remove the dirt, debris, pollutants and perspiration
that accumulate on your skin throughout the day. They may come in liquid,
foam, or bar form.
Sunscreen: Sunscreen is an essential product for the care and protection
of your skin. While it is true that some exposure to sunshine is necessary
for the body to synthesize vitamin D, you really only need 10-15 minutes
each day to accomplish this. Excess sun exposure can cause changes in the
skin cells leading to damage. People with fair skin need to be much more
careful than those with darker skin. But dark skin can become damaged too.
Applying a liberal amount of a natural sunscreen with at least an SPF 15
will prevent sun damage and lower your risk of developing skin cancer.
Many moisturizers come with sunscreen already included.
Moisturizer: Moisturizers can soothe dry skin and make wrinkles less noticeable.
They come in cream, lotion, and oil form. Oil based moisturizers are good
for severely dry skin on the body whereas a cream or lotion is a better
choice for the face as it will leave the face feeling less heavy and greasy.
Use a moisturizer right after bathing to seal moisture into your skin.
Eye Creams: An eye cream can help to improve the condition of the fragile
skin around the eyes. It helps to hydrate and protect this area and it
may even help to minimize dark circles or temporarily tighten fine lines.
Toners: Skin toners offer a bit of extra cleansing to skin that tends to
be combination or oily. But if your skin has become dry, avoid using a
skin toner. These skin care products often contain alcohol or acetone,
and they can aggravate dry or sensitive skin.
Exfoliants: Moisturizers and cleansers that contain exfoliants help to
improve the appearance of skin by sloughing off dead cells on the skin's
surface. They may also help to smooth out the skin's appearance and even
out discoloration from overexposure to sun. Since older skin does not naturally
lose dead skin cells as easily as younger skin does, an exfoliant may be
a good product for skin that appears rough and sallow with age.
Retinoids: Topical vitamin-A based products called retinoids have made
significant advances in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
They help to temporarily "plump up" the area around a wrinkle and diminish
its visibility. This is not a solution for long term results.
Herbals: Green tea and other herbal antioxidants can be applied topically
or taken orally to fight free radical damage to the skin and approve its
overall appearance.
Supplements: Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring cellular antioxidant
that has shown potential in the prevention and treatment of several diseases,
such as heart disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and certain types
of cancer. It is also utilized in many moisturizing products for its wrinkle
reducing properties.
Deciphering The Ingredient Label
You may be wondering why skin care products come with such a confusing
labeling system. The Food and Drug Administration receives many requests
each year to decipher the language of cosmetic and personal care product
labels. But while they empathize with consumers, there really is no way
to change the labeling and keep the information accurate. The ingredients
need to be listed by their chemical names because that is essentially what
they are. Even though a product may be marketed by its trade name, this
name will provide little clue as to the identity of its ingredients.
But despite the technical language of the skin care product's label, it is possible to glean some useful information. Ingredients must be listed in sequence based on how much is included in the formula. As a consumer, you can compare similar products by seeing where a particular ingredient falls in the list. For example, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to avoid a product that lists alcohol as its first ingredient, but one with alcohol as one of the last ingredients may not aggravate your skin. Of course it is best to avoid alcohol completely.

Because of the exposure it receives, the skin on your face is the most
delicate skin on your body. Your facial skin needs special care to stay
young, healthy, and beautiful.
1.Clean Your Face Gently
Toothpaste can be very irritating to the skin around the mouth. So brush
your teeth before cleansing your face to remove any toothpaste residue
that may be left on your lips and cheeks (You should use a natural toothpaste
free from toxic Flouride- "Jasons" brand works well. Next, splash your
face with lukewarm water and smooth about a quarter-size amount of a mild,
natural cleanser over your face. You may use a washcloth or facial cloth
if you wish, but fingertips are gentler on the skin. Use circular strokes
to lightly massage the cleanser into your skin. Rinse the soap from your
face with lukewarm water, and blot your skin dry with a clean, soft towel.
2.Use Toner Sparingly
Skin toning products often contain drying products, such as alcohol or
acetone, that can be irritating to sensitive skin. Avoid using a skin toner
if your skin has become dry and delicate over the years. However, a natural
skin toner like the product "Oxy-Skin" will bind water to the skin and
provide extra cleansing and moisture. This product would be useful for
someone with dry or oily skin.
Use skin toner on freshly cleansed skin. Apply toner to a cotton tissue
rather than a cotton ball as a tissue is less absorbent and you will end
up using less toner on your face. Gently smooth the tissue over your face
and allow the toner to dry.
3.Apply Eye Cream
The skin under your eyes is more delicate and sensitive than the skin on
the rest of your face. It is the first part of your face to show signs
of aging. An natural eye cream or serum can help to protect this fragile
skin, even out skin tone, minimize dark under eye circles, and even temporarily
tighten fine lines.
Use a pea-sized amount of eye cream (Parfait Visage) and apply to your
skin with your middle finger. This finger will apply less pressure than
your index finger. In a clockwise motion, smooth the cream from the center
of the undereye area to the browbone and over your lids.
4.Moisturize Liberally
A good moisturizer is one of the foundations of an effective skin care
routine. Use a moisturizer right after bathing to seal moisture into your
skin. A moisturizing product that is not made especially for the face may
be too heavy and it may leave the face looking and feeling greasy. Creams
and lotions usually are the facial moisturizers of choice for a couple
of reasons, as they contain some water and are lighter on the face. And
many creams and lotions are humectants, an oil-free class of moisturizer
that binds water to the skin so its effects are longer lasting.
Massage a nickel-size amount of facial moisturizer between your fingertips
and then smooth over the skin on your face and neck using upward and outward
strokes. Pulling down on your skin will aggravate the effects of gravity.
5.Protect Your Face
The best way to prevent unnecessary sun damage is to protect your skin
from exposure to the sun. Excess sun exposure can cause damage to your
skin in the form of freckles, roughness, age spots, wrinkles, and cancer.
Skin cells can repair themselves to a certain degree even after they have
been overexposed to ultraviolet light, as long as further exposure is avoided.
So it is worth taking the precautions to protect your skin from sun at
any age. Ultraviolet rays barrage your face even when you least expect
it: in the car, at the bus stop, and even walking in and out of the house.
Use a natural sunscreen product everyday, even if you don't plan on spending
a lot of time outdoors.
Facial Skin Care Tips
Don't wait until bedtime to remove dirt, makeup, dust and pollutants from
the face. If you're in for the night, wash your face as soon as you get
home for the day and apply eye cream and moisturizers.
Avoid soda, coffee and other caffienated beverages. These drinks dehydrate
your body and rob moisture from the skin. Instead, make sure you drink
plenty of purified water throughout the day. Water helps to plump your
skin with moisture and it improves circulation. Try to drink enough water
that you are never actually thirsty. I recommend a "Wellness Water™" purification
system.
Use sunscreen everyday, not just when you are headed to the beach. It's
never too late to start protecting your skin from the damaging effects
of the sun. Wearing a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 everyday can protect
your skin from premature aging, wrinkling, and age spots.

The Revolution in Anti-Aging Skin Care
Arbonne International of Irvine, California introduces a REvolutionary
new anti-aging skin care line ... NutriMinC® RE9. This U.S. & Swiss
patent-pending system combines 9 REsult oriented elements to combat the
visual signs of aging in 9 unique products. Arbonne is the first and only
company to offer a skin care regimen blending this unique combination of
REsult-proven, anti-aging elements in a system of 6 day & night products
for the face, 1 Lift product and 2 products for the body.
"This is an exciting time for Arbonne," says Sr. Vice President of Product
Development & Marketing, Candace Keefe. "Coming off a year of extraordinary
company growth, the new NutriMinC® RE9 line will only propel that momentum."
The 9 RE9 elements include: 1.) Arbonne's proprietary Bio-Hydria® Complex
of seven plant nutrients (Comfrey, Cucumber, Birch leaf,Watercress, Clover,
Ginseng and St. John's wort); 2.) Nanospheres infused with antioxidant
vitamins; 3.) Vitamin C, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate; 4.) Elhibin® protectant & Stimu-Tex® moisturizer;
5.) Alpha Lipoic Acid; 6.) Kojic Acid; 7.) Copper; 8.) Alpha & Beta
Hydroxy Acids and 9.) PPT3, PentaPeptides.
Serious skin care experts also state dry skin is a topic that is commonly
discussed. There is no standard definition for the condition. Even if you
recognize it only by its symptoms: scaling, tightness, lines, irritation,
and itchiness. The immediate cause is a disturbance in the skins outermost
layer, which is made up of skin cells and lipids, fatty substances that
help maintain moisture in the skin. When the balance of lipids get upset,
the skin loses water, and skin cells, normally shed unnoticed, accumulate
as white flakes.
The NutriMinC® RE9 elements have proven to increase the synthesis of
the dermal matrix molecules, an essential factor in preserving skin's youth.
These independent study increases were as substantial as: 287% increase
in glycosaminoglycans; 117% increase in Collagen, type I; and 327% increase
in Collagen, type IV. After six months use, the surface area occupied by
deep wrinkles can be reduced by 68% and mean wrinkle density by 46%.
Arbonne International distributes a complete line of pure Swiss skin care,
color, nutrition and aromatherapy products through its network of Independent
Consultants. The wonderful thing about Arbonne is that it's not just about
great products, it's also about great people. The Arbonne family is made

Serious skin care vs. winter weather, cleansers, and stress.
Serious skin care fights the moisture stolen from skin. The latest intensive
creams are like dryness police, working night and day to protect and
replenish.
When it comes to moisturizers, they can be too rich or too thick. Serious
skin care goes well beyond cold cream and petroleum jelly, today's skin
care products are remedies for dry skin and are packed with sophisticated
ingredients. Now, natural skin care companies think they have fixed the
final frontier, the ten-ply cashmere of hydration: super rich, long-lasting,
and ultra-healing.
Dry skin is a probably the most common complaint. In a recent survey, 60%
of a sample of women cited it as their top serious skin care concern, even
ahead of wrinkles. Over 70% said their body was dry in winter and 40% said
it was their face (vs. 34% and 15%, respectively, in the summer).
Since the 1970s, scientists have reported a global rise in the frequency
of dry skin. Nobody knows why for sure. Part of the answer is linked to
the increase in people's exposure to chemicals, pollution, and acid rain.
Our hydration expectations have shifted from flawlessly powdered, matte
skin to more realistic dewy complexions.
Serious skin care experts say many dry-skin sufferers inherit the condition,
but stress can also be a trigger. In a recent study, researchers found
when people reported high anxiety levels, their skin's permeability barrier
(which retains moisture and repels irritants) was slower to recover after
tape was applied to their skin and ripped off. The sale of specialty skin
care products exploded when the study was understood.
Age is another cause of dry skin, since lipid levels decline over the years,
especially when levels of estrogen drop during menopause. While teenage
girls need to moisturize infrequently, the skin's need for lubrication
asserts itself a decade later. A client of a skin care products company
says, "My roommate in college would moisturize after every shower, and
I remember thinking she was like an exotic dancer, always having to oil
herself.
The environment, including harsh winds, sunlight, and central heating also
removes moisture from the skin. But the real harm comes from Americans'
increasing indulgence in their favorite daily ritual. Younger women often
shower two or three times a day, using harsh cleansers (and not moisturizing).
The body just can't take it. Soap strips away lipids, and if lotion is
not applied after a shower, evaporating water causes a rapid loss of moisture
from within the skin.
Not only is dry skin unappealing and itchy, but as
its condition deteriorates, the skin become more vulnerable to bacteria,
allergens, and chemicals. These, in turn, worsen the problem, causing the
skin to relinquish more water and repair itself less and less effectively.
IHD brings you Also with calming botanicals, DNA restorative enzymes, and
age-fighting Gen III ingredients from advanced bio-technology. Also blended
are the latest free-radical fighting vitamins and botanicals (vitamins
A, D. B, and C, Japanese green tea extract, ginko biloba extract, and echinecea
purpura).

Skin Care Moisturizer Cream - Who likes a stinky dog? Not many. And when your dog is less than spring fresh, your attitude towards him may change. Although this may be as little a thing as turning your face away when he jumps on you; however, your dog can read into this behavior and translate it into a sign of rejection.
Skin Care Products - You must have noticed how popular organic products have become these days. When anything is labeled as organic it simply means that no chemicals were used during the growth/cultivation of this product. The belief here is that organic products are more healthy and less harmful to our bodies.
Awful Plastic Surgery - You couldn't help but be captivated by the unbelievably cute kid with the amazingly controlled falsetto voice and electric dance moves. He was only 10 years old, when he exploded onto the music scene, along with his brothers as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, but he had the stage presence of a twenty year veteran.
