Skin Care Matters!

It MATTERS what you put on your skin!

More and more people are paying attention to the foods they eat -- hence the increased demand for organic food. However, most people overlook the importance of caring for the skin -- the largest organ of the body. Most everything we put on our skin can be absorbed into the blood stream. Sobering, huh? Have you looked at the ingredients in your hand lotion lately? Your cosmetics? Your hair spray? Hair dye (scary!)? Perfumes? Body Washes? etc.

I put together my personal favorites -- my "top five websites for information regarding skin care products." Bookmark these links. They will afford you vital information regarding products you probably put on your skin every day.

The following are good websites:

A good rule of thumb: If you wouldn't eat the products you slather on your skin, you shouldn't be putting them ON your skin. Put another way: If you aren't willing to ingest the ingredients -- then perhaps you shouldn't be putting them on your skin.
