The skin is the largest organ on our body and many of the things that we apply to our skin can be absorbed into our body through our skin. Do you know what you are putting on your skin? I am currently planning a post concerning the use of natural skin care products, but right now much of our time is being consumed by the garlic harvest, so that post is going to be delayed. For now I would like to refer you to a related post written by my new friend and fellow blogger Angela at The Naturally Smart Life.
Angela’s blog offers “Simple suggestions for a smarter life, a better you…Naturally” In this post she shares some tips on avoiding chemicals in skin care products and provides information about some of the natural products that she uses which now include Don’t Eat It! Soaps.
Thanks for reading. 🙂
Don't Eat It! Soap and Skin Care 
A great point to consider. Many people don’t think about it. Skin is porous and what we put on top ends up inside.

It really isn’t something that we are taught to be careful of. We just assume if something is advertised for use on the skin it must be ok.

The more I learn about essential oils and all the “good” stuff for us….the more I realize it is really important what we put on our skin. Great post!

Thanks Faye. It wasn’t until after I started making soaps and balms that I started reading the ingredients of store bought products. The US is very lenient about what can be added to cosmetics so consumers really need to be aware of what they are using.
