Everywhere we look we are surrounded by things that we can do to lead a healthier lifestyle to take care of ourselves and those that we love. Whether it is eating healthier and buying organic, or exercising and reducing our carbon footprint, there is a movement out there for health awareness, and I want to ensure that it is adopted into skincare regimens as well.
There are synthetic ingredients found in all of the non-organic products around us, and while the results may appear to be “fast acting” and effective, these invasive products are actually causing more unseen damage, than they are doing good. With prolonged use of these toxins that find their way into your bloodstream, your skin will weaken and your body in turn is forced to survive with foreign substances that are constantly attacking it. In fact, the average woman absorbs 4lb 6oz of chemicals from toiletries and make-up every single year! A lot of these man-mad compounds have been directly linked to cancer, while others may irritate the skin, causing it to age prematurely.
