Healthy and organic ways of living have caught the light in today’s culture, and skin care products are at the forefront of this wave. Professionals in the field are abandoning traditional beauty care ingredients due to their proven toxicity to the skin. Alyssa Schwartz, with Glow Green Skincare writes on the importance of this research,

“…most mainstream beauty products are compromised with synthetic preservatives and other highly processed contaminated ingredients such as parabens, sulphates, and artificial dyes and prefumes. Being that our skin is the largest organ, which eliminates body waste and is our largest immune defense barrier, when we put these toxic ingredients on our body, it is absorbed into 60% of our bloodstream”.

 

This new understanding of how precious our skin is and how we can keep it healthy without the use of man made chemicals has revolutionized the way skin care is being developed. Many like myself have chosen to educate ourselves on what is best for your skin and how it can be clear, glowing, beautiful, and all natural!
