There’s an old saying in the Maya cultures of Guatemala, “Don’t put things on your face that you wouldn’t put in your mouth.”
Our mouths are not the only entryway for our bodies to receive nutrients and toxins through. A new study has shown that the pores in your skin can absorb up to 64% of the contaminants in your drinking water alone!
On the hunt for more facts, I recently sought out skincare expert, Rachel Pachivas from Annmarie Skincare and she took me through a few powerful ways to naturally nourish your skin, reverse signs of aging and prevent unwanted toxins from finding their way into your medicine cabinet.
I’ve shared the full video interview below, but here’s a vital warning / tip before we get to that…
A gentle warning that the word “organic” doesn’t always guarantee that your skincare products are 100% toxin-free. After digging into some of the biggest “natural” beauty brands, we found that many have cut corners and exploited loopholes.
When researching your favorite lotions, oils, and shampoos, please be on the lookout for these sneaky intruders:
1.) Parabens – An extremely common preservative that has been shown to disrupt estrogen production and has also been detected in malignant tumors.
2.) Phthalates – Usually hidden under the word “fragrance,” a known hormone disruptor linked to reproductive defects
3.) Benzoyl Peroxide – Known skin and eye irritant; linked to the promotion of tumor growth.
4.) Triclosan – According to the EPA, this is a serious pesticide. Enough said.
Our bodies just don’t know how to process things that aren’t natural, aka from the Earth. Lab-made facial products are prone to cause inflammation, breakouts, scarring and even more serious things like cancer.
Ok, are you ready for some fun, practical and natural DIY beauty tips?
