How important is what we place on our skin? As many people begin taking care in the sort of food they put in<\/em> their body, it serves just as much purpose to examine what they put on<\/em> it as well.<\/p>\n

In a society struggling with cancer, allergies, and illness, we often overlook products as a potential cause. Things absorbed by the skin head straight to the bloodstream. If foreign, \u00a0things we place our skin, scalps, and invite to our nostrils send our systems into chemical chaos, giving us a head start on illness unbeknownst to us.<\/p>\n

Here is a guide to ditching the dangers & embracing what\u2019s beneficial.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n


\nWhat To Avoid<\/strong>\u2028<\/span><\/h4>\n


\nAnything you can\u2019t pronounce or produce.<\/strong>
\nIf you can\u2019t pronounce it, and you can\u2019t make it yourself without a lab, leave it alone.\u00a0Soap, lotion, detergent, whatever<\/em>,\u00a0 it should contain less than<\/strong> 10 easily recognizable ingredients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Defining Natural<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen manufacturers recognize growing interest in natural products, they can take advantage of those too lazy, confused, or under informed to make genuinely beneficial choices. Adding something \u201cpositive\u201d to a laundry list of suspicious ingredients does not mitigate its negative effects.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be fooled by companies throwing words like \u201cnatural<\/em>\u201d \u201corganic<\/em>\u201d \u201cextract<\/i>\u201d\u00a0\u201cwith shea,\u201d\u00a0\u201ccocoa butter,\u201d and \u201cjojoba\u201d on labels.<\/p>\n

\u2028If the ingredients list doesn\u2019t pass the test, avoid the product<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anything that makes you feel weird<\/strong>
\nWe often mistake irritation we encounter in cleaning \u201cthe cost of getting things clean.\u201d Not so. Irritation in your nostrils, eyes, and skin are signals from your body to use something else.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use products that leave your skin, hair, etc. feeling anything less than amazing.
