We are what we eat, according to the old adage. But increasingly, we are what we absorb.
While most of us are conscientious of what we put past our lips, many of us are also looking to reduce the amount of chemicals we apply to our skin and which seep through our pores each and every day.
After years of trial and error while searching for those “ultimate products” that seem to work best for us and that we simply cannot live without, it turns out most of these drug store beauty potions are loaded with chemical concoctions that have been linked to cancer.
As an all-over moisturizer, keep a jar of coconut oil handy near your shower.
