Our skin is by far our largest organ we slather it in creams that our supposed to help us be radiant, cellulite free, toned, bronzed. We also expose it to pollution and the suns rays on a daily basis but what are we really putting on our skin and could our products be harmful to our bodies? Everything we put topically on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream scary right!
Dr. Mercola from Telegraph UK says:
Putting chemicals on your skin is actually far worse than ingesting them, because when you eat something the enzymes in your saliva and stomach help break it down and flush it out of your body. When you put these chemicals on your skin, however, it is absorbed straight into your blood stream without filtering of any kind, so there's no protection against the toxin. The five pounds of toxic chemicals per year you may be absorbing from the use of toiletries and beauty products are largely going directly to your delicate organs."
