Have you ever really looked at the ingredient list in your beauty products? If you do, you’ll probably be surprised at the length of the list and the fact that you cannot pronounce most of the ingredients and have no idea what they are. That’s because many of them are toxic chemicals. Personal care products are a HUGE source of toxic chemicals in our daily lives. If you wouldn’t put something in your mouth, then you certainly should not put it on your skin. The skin on our bodies is our largest organ and has a very high absorption rate… meaning it absorbs what you put on it directly into the body.
Take the next step in minimizing your toxic exposure by making changes in your beauty product routine. A great link for learning about healthy product options is the skin deep site:
