Natural Ingredients For Healthy Skin


Natural Ingredients For Healthy Skin

It’s important to pay attention to what we put into our bodies, but we should be conscientious to what we apply onto our bodies as well. Anything we lather on our skin has the potential of being absorbed through our pores and into our bloodstream. So many of today’s skin care products contain harsh synthetic chemicals and ingredients, which we are usually unaware of. Chemicals like parabens, which are commonly found in products, have a chemical structure similar to estrogen, which has been said to potentially interfere with production of the body’s natural hormones and contain potential links to cancer.

My tip in choosing a good skin care product- if it includes a name you can’t pronounce or is foreign to you, it’s better not to use it! Many health food stores will carry products with all natural ingredients. One great product line, I found is Honey Girl Organics (http://honeygirlorganics.com/) They create natural skin care products with the highest quality food grade, organic ingredients.

Many natural ingredients contain antioxidants with anti-aging and restoring properties. Using all natural products will leave your skin with a natural glow, with out drying out your skin. In addition to being good for you, natural products are better for our planet! It’s great to be committed to achieving a healthier life!

If you know of any natural health care products, which you have used and loved, please share! I would love to hear your comments!
