Safely Protecting Your Largest Organ

Do you ever find yourself aimlessly scrolling on social media?

Yup, we all do, but I love when posts, like this one from Dr. Mark Hyman, can stop us in our tracks.

Is he sharing new information?

Nope, but we all know that we need to hear important information again and again and again until it sticks.

So, as you’re shopping each week for food that fuels your body, are you also ensuring that the products you put on your body are safe and working too? Yes, the ingredients in those personal care products matter, as they will be directly absorbed by your skin, into you bloodstream and can have overall health implications.

If you don’t already, start now by turning over that bottle – whether it be your moisturizer, shampoo, sunscreen, etc – and reading the ingredients.

Don’t understand them? Start by googling or using a resource like the EWG Skin Deep database to help decipher it all to ensure you’re using safer personal care products.

Now can be the prefect time to make the switch to safer products, as you restock products or switch over from your summer to fall go-tos.

Want more help? Many of my better beauty favoriates are from Beautycounter, as I love that we screen every ingredient against 23 safety checkpoints and ensure that over 2,800 questionable ingredients stay out of the formulations.

I also use other brands as well, as variety is the key, so you know where to find me and I would love to help you shop safer!
