Natural Skin Care and Your Health

In this day and age, almost all skin care products contain synthetic ingredients and petro-chemicals that can eventually damage the skin and other parts of the body. Some might think that it isn't harmful having these substances in constant contact with the body, as these substances can be absorbed into the skin and the body organs to some degree.

Some might also go on to say that the skin is the most elastic organ of the body and that commodities on the skin can be formed by what is put on from the outside and what is captured into the body. Have you ever taken notice to what happens to the skin of a heavy smoker? The aging process is noticeably accelerated with visible signs of heavy wrinkles.

If one creates an environment within the body that is highly acidic from eating lots of foods which contain white flour and sugars, making it more difficult for the body cells to take in nutrients. If one does not treat the body well over the years, the skin and other body parts will suffer, paying a visible price. One can then choose to do more unnatural things, such as taking medicines and drugs to correct it or even get a face lift, but a healthy alternative would be to educate oneself on how to take proper care of the body in general.

If one were to go into any typical American family home and inspect the assortment of cosmetic products, up to 25 products may be found containing hundreds of unique chemicals. The challenge is, what is the aftermath of these chemicals on the skin and the body? There has been a little research on part of them, however the testing is not as intensive or strict on products that are externally applied as they are to those taken internally. Just because someone is permitted to sell them does not mean that they are safe to apply to the skin or to bathe your children in them every day. It is wise to do research yourself on the products you use to see if they really are safe for you and your family.

Something might be said about foods that are grown organically without pesticides or chemicals and also drinking lots of fresh water and the unmistakable effect it can have on proper hydration of the body and skin.

This data is not meant to be a medical or exact judge on these matters, but to make a point that there are options to the skin care products and the foods that are on the markets today, which are being sold in order to make someone a profit, but may not in fact, be in the best interest of the customer.
