Organic... Does it matter with Skin Care?

Hey Everyone!

Ok... I was recently listening to the news and there was an "expert" who said there was no nutritional differences between fruits and vegetables grown organically and those grown conventionally. But when someone buys organically grown or produced products, it's not for what's in them... It's for what's NOT!..

Before I continue, let's do the quick organic overview - Organic fruits and vegetables mean that they were grown naturally without the use of pesticides, herbicides (for the record, anything ending in "cide" means to kill) and other toxic chemicals which are absorbed into the skin of the fruit or vegetable and therefore ending up a toxic mess inside our bodies. The farm has to have been organically sustained (natural fertilizers instead of chemicals and such) for a period of at least 3 years. Organic Meats come from animals who have been fed an organic diet and have not been injected with growth hormones and things like that which are used to make the animal bigger and fatter or antibiotics which are used to keep sickly animals healthy enough to get them to pass inspection to slaughter. We eat these animals and end up with all of these toxins in our systems. Want to know the result of this? Look at our children... Our girls and boys are developing much faster than ever before. Could it be growth hormones??? Hmmmmm... These toxins have been linked to depression, some forms of cancer, eczema and a host of other ailments.

So... the same holds true for skin care. The more organic ingredients in your skin care, the less of these toxins you will be putting on your skin. Our skin absorbs everything, so if you wouldn't eat pesticides, why would you put it on your skin? Skin care should aid your skin in healing itself, if these toxins are created to kill things, what is that skin product made with these toxins doing to your skin?

The point I'm trying to make is that be just as mindful of what you put on your skin as what you eat or drink... Technically, it's still going INSIDE your body. It may cost a little more, but aren't you worth it?? In the end, the choice is yours. Some people feel that organic living is a lot of hoopla.. All I ask, is that you become more informed and aware. Protect your body... Protect your skin!

With Sweet Goodness,
