Starting Your Toxic Day…
We are starting to pay attention more and more to what we are eating. However, it seems that what we put on our skin is falling short of the awareness wagon.
Think about it.
Here you just got out of bed and are in need of a shower. What do you reach for but Ammonia, Formaldehyde and Phenol. No! you say, it’s just body soap.
You next reach for shampoo laden with Sodium Lauryl Sulphate and rinse with Propylene Glycol for shine and smoothness. Next comes a dollop of shaving cream which contains A-Pinene which after your shower you will spread on an even coat of hydrocarbons and asbestos for moisture.
To stay dry, you grab the scented Aluminum for your underarms and brush your teeth with Saccarin, fluoride and FD& C Blue #1.
Your bad breath will be extinguished with Ethanol and Phenol Alochol. Nearly there!
You must now add polyvinylpyrrolidine gel to set your hair and do your makeup.
So you slap on acid, Dioxin and Propylene Glycol to reduce fine lines, add FD&C Red #3 as a foundation, a little Iron Oxide on the eyes, brush Bacteria and Polyvinylpyrrolide to your lashes. All gets topped with a dab of Benzo-a-Pyrene and Benzo-B-Fluroanthene for lip color.
Last but not least, you won’t forgo just that little bit of scent, Toluene and Benzaldehyde and the famous sunblock cream full of carnicogenic Nitrosamine to protect against sun damage.
Think that none of these poisons are getting absorbed? Think again.
Ever smelt your hands after handling garlic cloves after only a few minutes?
To continue on with this scenario would be senseless. Everything you are using is toxic and your skin is absorbing it. The only way around this is to buy products free of these ingredients.
This means paying more. Not everyone is ready to do that because like the ostrich with its head in the sand, out of sight out of mind.
But simply put, you can use simple ingredients like baking soda and salt to brush your teeth, honey on your face as a facial, epson salt in the bath for relaxation and much much more.
But there is no substitute for cleansing in these here times. Don’t wait for the doctor to diagnose a possible illness when proactive action today can save your life tomorrow.
