FEEDING your skin- what do you think?

[Guest guest]

Most people do not feel what they put on their skin is that important.

They will eat good foods, live for the most part a healthy lifestyle,

but when it comes to cosmetics & skin care will grab ANYTHING that

has " natural " or " organic " on the label WITHOUT checking out the actual

ingredients.

Others feel that putting something on your skin is like " FEEDING " your

Body through your skin.

What do you all think????

Our skin is the largest organ of the body. Making sure what goes on it is of

utmost importance. The lips have especially thin skin, so what you put on them

gets into your bloodstream almost instantly. It's a struggle to find and afford

pure products. I have spent days checking ingredients online and it's

frustrating. The cosmetic database is a good reference point to begin your

search.

Absorption of chemicals through the skin to the blood stream is a very

effective pathway. Directions for hormonal creams through the palms

are the preferred way. Like the lips, the palms and soles of the

feet, under arms, genitals are all membrane.

It has been very frustrating finding creams that are " safe " . This

includes hair products and sunscreens. Aubrey is the one company that

has not compromised with " fragrance " like Burt's Bees after their

corporate buyout. Avoid any products that have any parabens and

" ethyl " in the part of ingredient names. These have estrogenic

imitating factors.

I have learned how to make my own lotions. It is not difficult and I

keep extras in the refrigerator. When I am in the kitchen and need a

bit of healing on hands, I use coconut oil from the pantry.

I think the least fake stuff you put on your skin is extremely

important. You and do absorb chemicals (good ones and bad ones) through

your skin.

This is the reason why I make my own soaps and Body Butter. I'm able to

use pure ingredients (you can eat most of them) so nothing harmful is in

the products.

We got into this because we realized that many skin issues (including

our own) are better helped with natural means than chemical ones. It can

make the world of difference to sensitive skin.

And don't trust " natural " or even " organic " products.

Like the food we eat, a " product " is always less healthy than

something whole or homemade. Simple things like vinegar as hair

conditioner or coconut oil as moisturizer can go a long way to keep

toxins out of your body.

I'd be interested to hear about others' homemade skin and hair treats.
