No, I’m NOT suggesting that you eat your skincare products…but I AM saying this: check the ingredients in your skincare products just like you should with all processed foods! If there are words you cannot pronounce, you might want to just put it back on the shelf.
Why? Because your skin is your largest organ, and believe it or not—what you put onto your skin makes its way inside your body.
I think it’s safe to say there are more “hormone disrupters” in our world because of chemicals than any other time in history. Making efforts to minimize the ones you can control is really valid, because there are PLENTY in our world that we do not have control over. Chemicals you put on your skin can end up in your bloodstream! Toxic sunscreens are maybe the worst of offenders, but even moisturizers and mascaras and soaps can contain chemicals you don’t realize can harm you & your children.
I use a free app called “EWG Healthy Living.” EWG is who puts out the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 List each year for pesticides found in fruits & veggies. With the app, you can scan your products and it gives you a score of how clean or how toxic your products are based on the ingredients it contains. This is a simple way you can begin to clean up the chemicals in your life and give your body a chance to heal & thrive!
