Eau Naturale!!

These days there is an increased awareness of what we put in our bodies when it comes to food choices and how the use of pesticides & preservatives can negativity affect our health.  However, there is less focus on the kinds of products that we put on our bodies. The skin's main functions are to protect our bodies from harmful pathogens, regulate body temperature & prevent water loss.  It also acts as a gateway absorbing vitamins & excreting toxins as well as the reverse.

Would you knowingly ingest a plateful of harmful chemicals & contaminates?  Probably not if you knew what you were eating.  So you probably wouldn't want to purposely spread similar properties all over the largest organ of your body, knowing it will be absorbed???  Ironically those products designed to improve the condition of our skin are made up of the very toxins & chemicals that damage our bodies.

What's wrong with this picture???  Well we all have the ability to inform ourselves on the dangers of such ingredients & healthier alternatives.  This year one of my personal goals is infuse healthier choices into my life for my body/mind/spirit as well as my home.
