What goes on you, ends up *in* you! |
Did you know it is the largest organ in our body?
It also has many functions, it:
• acts as a barrier to the external world,
protecting the internal organs from infections
• eliminates
waste through perspiration
• seals
in moisture maintaining the delicate fluid balance in the body
• produces
vitamin D
• is
full of sensory cells that send feedback to your brain in relation to the
external environment.
One
of the interesting facts about our skin is that it is porous. To
prove this yourself, rub a clove of garlic on the soles of your feet and within
minutes you will taste the garlic in your mouth or rub a fresh chili with your
fingers and you will start to sweat on your scalp. The skin absorbs
what it comes in contact with.

a commonly used preservative in skincare products, have been found to spur on
the growth of various types of breast cancer.
• Sodium lauryl/laureth Sulphate (SLS/SLES), a
surfactant, detergent and emulsifier used in thousands of cosmetic products is
a skin irritant and linked to cancer.
There is a connection between chemical exposures, in particular those we use on our skin and adverse health conditions ranging from mild irritation to various cancers. When choosing skin care products, check the fine print in the ingredient list and remember ……. *what goes on you, ends up *in* you!*
