Get Healthy with Tina

Have you thought about the products you put on the skin, body lotions, shower gets, skin care, medicated creams, hand creams, shampoo, there is some very toxic ingredients out there, which does get absorbed thru the skin and into the blood stream. I have attached a chart of 12 toxic and carcinogenic compounds found in beauty and skin care products, have a look at the list and compare it to containers you have at home.

This is not an exercise to scare you but to educate you and inform you of what you are putting onto your skin. I use and recommend organic products, that are free of chemical nasties, some of my favourtie brands are giovannini haircare, ecostore household , and world organic skin care. I believe the less chemicals in the home the better, lots of these synthetic ingredients are hormone modulators, may contain estrogen and are potentially carcingogenic.  There is not one cause of cancer,  reduce your risk now with the products you choose.  these are things we can control and are easily done. Did you know you can make your own products, baking soda is a big ingredient in household cleaners, use of essential oil, and some simple plant ingredients for skincare.  I also suggest avoiding use of microwave ovens if possilbe or reheating food in plastic containers or plastic film wrap on food containers in the microwave.  Also ladies rethink sanatary products, choose a brand that is not chemically bleached, they are also interfere with hormone production.   For more information check out this link http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5971/12-Toxic-Ingredients-to-AVOID-in-Cosmetics-Skin-Care-Products-Infographic.html
