Skin
Your Largest Organ
Skin is the largest organ of the body. It is our protective covering, our first barrier to fight illness and disease and a passageway straight to our bloodstream. Our skin holds our bodies together and it is a barometer for overall health. Early warning signs of many diseases manifest themselves on the skin, providing practitioners with invaluable diagnostic information. Our skin works so well that it’s easy to take skin for granted.
they are absorbed. If you don’t believe this is true, just think about how nicotine patches work! Research published in 2007 found that a woman who uses makeup daily will absorb over 2kgs of chemicals per year. And that’s just makeup! It is said that we absorb 60% of what we put on our skin. That’s a scary thought. Read your labels – understand what you’re putting on your skin and consider a gentler alternative. There are many wellpriced natural and organic skin-care ranges available, all offering healthy options. These include Sukin Organics, Andalou Naturals Fruit Stem Cell Science, La Mav Organic Skin Science (cert. organic); plus, for sun protection, Oasis Organic SPF30 or Ecotan Natural Coconut SPF30 Sunscreens. All are available from HEALTH BY LOGIC in Silverdale.
Because skin can absorb what you put onto it, it is important to ensure you are not slathering chemical-based products all over yourself, as some of these toxins will end up inside you. None of the products we put on our skin stay on the surface;
Skin comes in many shades; it can be thick or thin, hairy or smooth, taut or a little saggy. No matter what skin you are in, give it some natural love.
