We are exposed to so many chemicals throughout our day. By the time we leave the house in the morning we are exposed to hundreds of chemicals. Think about it…you get up in the morning, go to the bathroom and wash your hands, if you are not using a clean hand soap, there are many toxic chemicals in the hand soap. Then you wash your face, a regular face wash you get from the store that is loaded with toxic chemicals. Then you brush your teeth…flouride and other preservatives in that. Hop on in the shower…your loaded with toxic chemicals in there…shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream! Then you lotion up, moisturize your face, serums, eye cream and then make up! There are so many toxic ingredients in makeup! Lipsticks have toxic ingredients in them and then you eat or drink through the day and are not only absorbing them through your skin, but ingesting them as well. If you are not watching what ingredient are in your personal care products, within a half hour of being awake in the morning you have already overloaded your system with hundreds of toxins.

Now some may say “how much of that really effects you?” Well, your skin is the largest organ of your whole body! It absorbs everything! So all those products with the toxic chemicals in them that you may not think are that harmful are actually getting into your body and can be hormone disrupters and are linked to many other issues within the body!

Think about all the things we put on our children! When my kids were babies I did not think very much about these things and used the typical baby products that you would get at the store. Now knowing what I know about these toxins, I could never buy them!

Some would also argue that why would these things be on the shelf and be aloud to be sold if they were not safe. I do not have the answer to that…but in researching each ingredient in many of the things I used to use…they are aloud to be sold! So all I ask of people is to research, and when you are able to purchase a cleaner product with no toxins, please do! Your body will thank you!
