Something to think about: Since at least 60% of everything we put on our skin is actually absorbed into our bodies, we should be selecting skin care products with as much care as what we choose to eat!

/ December 21, 2010This is such a good and timely reminder (I should make this part of my new year’s resolution :)). I remember someone once telling me that our skin was our largest organ – so important what we expose it to, because our skin absorbs soo much!

/ December 21, 2010That is so true! As an aromatherapist I am very aware of this..I’m so glad I found your blog.
Have a great day!

/ December 21, 2010I completely agree and I work with Dermatologists and seriously they all say to keep the beauty regimen easy, simple, and natural!
Diana Mieczan
/ December 21, 2010That is very interesting. I read something about it the other day and its a really good point! Its scary to think that many cosmetics have ingredients that are not too good for us.
Kisses, darling
Monique
/ December 21, 2010good point! I’ll have to look at what my make up has! xoxox M
NIKKI
/ December 21, 2010So true. It’s kind of scary to not know what some of our stuff has in it!

Hannah
/ December 21, 2010That’s such an interesting concept that I rarely think about. I don’t do terrible things to my skin by any means, but I’m sure I could stand to do a little better.
Dylan
/ December 21, 2010wow so much! def important to have good quality stuff than!
Nicole
/ December 21, 2010Annie…this is such a true statement! Often times I think we forget that we are what we eat and also what we put on our face! xo

/ December 21, 2010Well it was an exciting week on “All Natural Annie”. Hope that winner loves her product.
By the way the Bible says you can not eat animal fat, but it is allowed to put it on skin to make it more supple… glycerin… there is a vegetable one also.. the best one is from the lamb… thanks for thinking of me while I was traveling… love ya… hope Dylan got his work done. When do you leave for San Fran????

/ December 21, 2010Annie you have once again hit the nail on the head. Skin is a transdermal so all those toxic products get soaked right in and have to make their way through our system’s organs. It is really sobering to read labels and think about years when this was nowhere near my thought process!!
Thanks for sharing!!
xo,

/ December 22, 2010I do think about this a lot! I have been using Arbonne foundation. Are you familiar with that? If so, I would love to know if you have any opinion on it. I used to use their skin care too but it is too expensive, so now I use cheap stuff from Target….I know not good!
Rambles with Reese
/ December 22, 2010Isn’t it so true and yet, I still love french fries and fried food.
A very Merry Christmas to you sweetie!

Sarah Fetchet
