We have heard this many times, drinks lots of water and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables to maintain good health. While this is great for keeping health from the inside/out, what about from the outside/in of our bodies?
The skin is the largest organ of the body and takes up 15 – 20% of your actual total body weight. It literally holds us together. One of the most amazing qualities of the skin is its elasticity. But, as we grow older the skin starts to loose its elasticity. It is vitally important we look after our skin through out the changes in life to maintain the skins natural elasticity. Unfortunately people give skin little consideration.
Most skin care products that are sold in stores contain an array of harsh chemicals such as propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates and petro-chemicals just to name a few. The average women applies more than 200 chemicals on her skin in one day and about 60% of these chemicals are absorbed into the bloodstream. What these chemicals do is strip away the natural oils from the skin leaving your skin more vulnerable to skin damage.
