Do you know if the skin care you are using is truly safe? Have you looked at any ingredient listing for skin care products?
- Mineral oil - sits on the surface of your skin and clogs pores
- Petrolateum - is derived from petroleum (gas) , can you say ewww
- Propolyene Gycol - 'industrial anti-freeze' and the major ingredient in brake and hydraulic fluid. Even bigger ewww!
Isn't it amazing what goes into some of the products you apply to your skin? Did you know that your body will absorb 5 pounds of chemicals from skin care and make-up per year. Whew, never thought of it like that.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, who is an osteopathic physician: "putting chemicals on your skin is far worse that ingesting them, because when you eat something the enzymes in your saliva and stomach help break it down and flush it out of your body.
When you put these chemicals on your skin, however, it is absorbed straight into your blood stream without filtering of any kind, so there is no protection against the toxin. The
5 pounds of toxic chemicals per year you may be absorbing from toiletries and beauty products are going directly to your delicate organs."
