Did you know that your skin is your largest organ?
Have you ever thought about all the products that goes on our skin and how our largest organ absorbs those ingredients? Ya know the lotions, sun screen, makeup, ointments, rubs, and the list goes on and on. Let’s change out some of those items to better items with better ingredients.
I’ll tell ya something personal that will just tick off some people- I don’t use sun screen. I actually think most sun screen is awful. I believe that burning is something to be avoided, but not the sun. The sun is so healing, you can just feel it uplift your mood once it hits your face & eyes. The sunshine is loaded with Vitamin D, healing and nourishing Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium so you can have stronger bones so you can garden more and raise those animals. I will disclose that we will use it briefly when we travel from Michigan to Florida in March as we have on occasion. Florida is much closer to the sun than Michigan especially during March. So in order to avoid burning while we are on the beach I will buy safe sunscreen. Sunscreen is rated yearly from EWG.org and I will do my research and use it sparingly to avoid burning.
So what are your options? I have a few to share with you today. Don’t forget to print them out.
Lotion Bars– these are healing and nourishing and just very lovely. I sell these to family & friends and they all love them. So do we!
Homemade Soap – I make my soap with Lard because we are loaded with it. If you do not have access to lard you can easily find other great soap recipes out there. If you do though the lard soap is very lovely. It lathers up nice, nourishing and does not dry your skin out.
Laundry Soap – My recipe was in the downloadable ebook from Day #3 in my Living Cleaner in the Home
For Makeup: I’ve recently purchased and use Toups & Co – they use organic and natural ingredients. So when I wear makeup I”ll be wearing mostly this stuff. Don’t forget to use Coupon Code “FOODPROOD” to save!
