My Fit List: Let's Take a Look at those Products you are Using that Make you OH So Beautiful!!!

Almost equally as toxic as the processed foods you eat are the beauty products you are using.

Your skin absorbs 60% of topically used products whether they are natural or chemical. That is a significant amount when you consider the number of beauty products you drench yourself in to look beautiful each day. I am fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to have absolutely no reason to look beautiful these days considering I rarely leave my house. Lol. I only use makeup maybe 3 days a week. So...for some, it's easier said than done. But there is something you can do!

Let's take a closer look at some of the most toxic things that are in your beauty products and are perhaps putting on yourself AND your children every day. These have been linked to cancer and are what I BELIEVE the reason for a drastic rise in autoimmune disorders such as fibromyalgia. I also believe this stuff messes with your thyroid. Just go grab your lotion and see if you can find any of these ingredients. If so...I recommend finding an alternative.

(For lack of time, I will not provide an explanation or scientific data on each of these. Just google them and you'll find plenty of info on them.)

Here are two EXCELLENT websites where you can just type in the product you are using and find out what's going on in that bottle. They also help you find great alternatives.
