Our society is becoming more and more disillusioned with all the ‘wonder’ chemicals that we fell in love with decades ago.  With increased cancer and Autism rates, to name just a few, we’re starting to question if these chemicals have not done more harm than good.  If you would like to  change your habits begin by using all natural skin care products.

This is a great place to start because your skin is the biggest organ in your body.  It absorbs like a sponge so if you put dangerous, chemical filled products, such as lotions, on your skin all those chemicals get absorbed directly into your blood stream.

So, how do you know if a product truly is all natural?  This is where it could get a little tricky.  In order for something to be totally organic it needs to be made up of 100% natural  materials with no added man-made chemicals of any sort. 

Frequently natural products are more expensive since the individual ingredients are grown and can not be mass produced.  It is for this reason that all major cosmetics companies prefer using synthetic ingredients as much as possible: not because they are better, but because they are cheaper.

The cosmetic company does not pass that savings on to you though, they just make more money on each product.

There is mounting evidence to suggest that adding all these chemicals to your system, over a lifetime, could have very serious side effects not only to you but to your offspring also since a lot of the chemical compounds could remain in your system and be passed on to your child when you’re pregnant.

Most major department stores will have a fairly large selection of natural products. If you can not find what you need just check your local community for a store that specializes in organics.  I live in a really small town and we have one here so I know you should be able to find one almost anyplace.

The bottom line is that you have only one body, you need to take care of it.  Using all natural skin care products is one way to not only keep looking younger longer, but also keep the potentially toxic chemicals you add to your body to a minimum.
