The skin is the body’s largest organ. Like a sponge, the skin eats and breathes in over half of whatever we put on it. Toxins like smoke and other chemicals that we often cannot avoid may cause extreme harm to our skin and so can the ingredients in most conventional skincare products. We are voluntarily inviting toxins into our bodies every time we moisturize our skin with products that include petroleum, mineral oil, dyes, alcohols and other ingredients. These ingredients actually age the skin faster than usual and most have links to health problems that include headaches, allergies, rashes, depression, asthma and even cancer. Here is how the damage takes place: Toxins travel through the bloodstream once the skin has absorbed it, the body then tries extra hard to get rid of it, which takes a toll on the immune system and other vital organs causing us to be more valuable to health problems.
There are only two safe options when it comes to skin care products, which is to either buy all natural products or make it yourself. The perfect line of skin care products should be free of petroleum, alcohols and other artificial fillers, the majority of the formula ingredients should be traceable to essential oils plant extracts and seed/nut oils. Natural skin care aids the skin by adding beneficial enzymes, vitamins, and acids; it can soften the skin and reverse signs of premature aging. And making your own skin care products is an affordable and fun way to know exactly what is going on and in your skin. Start reading the labels on your favorite skin care products and become educated on the many dangers of toxins.
