Health Tip - Skin

4.04.08

The skin is our first barrier to infection and significant injury.  Dry skin conditions can increase health risks.  One suggestion for moisturizing is to apply organic, extra virgin, cold-pressed, olive oil directly to the skin or add it to bath water.  Another option would be to use organic, unrefined coconut oil topically.  Either of these oils could be applied at night to keep from getting them on your clothing.

It’s also important to remember that one of the secrets to good health is decreasing the number of toxins to which you are exposed.  Many unwanted chemicals enter your body through your skin.  Hair products, makeup, and lotions are full of these chemicals.  To learn more about the chemicals that may be in your skin and hair care products, I recommend you visit www.cosmeticsdatabase.com.

Blessings and best of health,
