Toxins In Our Skin Care

 Many of us are becoming more and more aware of toxins in our food and water, in fact, some of us have a hard time eating or drinking ANYTHING for fear it will contaminate us.... 

 There is a HUGE surge all across our country of folks taking all manner of liquid something or other, glorified water, pills and supplements to help counteract all the free radicals and toxins we are exposed to everyday.

 This is all super and a splendid idea ... even though I wouldn't personally touch a few of the things I have seen out there with a ten foot pole, but then if you BELIEVE in ANYTHING it can help you, or so they say. :)

But what about our largest living organ -- our SKIN??

  Did you know that our SKIN absorbs more toxins and chemicals than we can EVER get from our food or water.... especially if we are a female and use lotions, make-up and skin care of any sort... and if we are a male we are just as plagued with it if we use cologne, body wash, deodorant and all that stuff that we have always been told and taught makes us respectable people and pleasant to be around. 

Everything that touches our skin is absorbed directly into the blood stream with nothing to filter it or stop it. Why else would there be skin patches for everything from pain to drugs and smoking aids? 

At least when we EAT unhealthy things, our bodies are designed to filter out the bad stuff and try to get rid of it before it gets close to our vital organs.

Not so with the skin.

And yet offer a free ride straight into our bloodstream on a daily basis with all kinds of garage floor cleaners, anti-freeze and other ingredients that when they are handled in the testing labs, they must wear gloves for protection!

I know.... gross, right?

A recent study has found that topical applications of moisturizers such as Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream, or Vanicream could increase skin cancer risk.
