Topical: Skin and Hair

Everyone needs to take into consideration: Our skin is our largest organ, what is put onto our skin, is absorbed into our blood streams. 

That goes for makeup, perfumes, lotions and even hair care. 

Artificial smells and chemicals, which are in most everyday products can be endocrine disruptions. Our endocrine system is essentially the control panel for our hormones. 

The endocrine system is a network of glands and organs—including the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas—that produce and release hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate vital bodily functions. It controls metabolism, growth, reproduction, sleep, and mood by maintaining homeostasis through feedback loops. Common diseases often result from hormone imbalances.

If we are adding chemicals to our everyday cosmetic products, what is that doing to our hormones? Are the frilly smells helping you? Or are they hurting you? What do petrochemical-based lotions or products do to our bodies? Have you ever searched to see what the chemicals in your favorite "beauty" products use? They say beauty is pain... but does it really have to be? Beauty comes from the inside out.  

Paying attention to ingredients is very important.
