The skin with its glands, hair, nails and other structures make up the integumentary system. It forms the external covering of the body and constitutes THE LARGEST ORGAN OF THE BODY with several functions. The skin is in constant contact with the external environment and is subject to continuous wear and tear, yet fulfils the most important task, WHICH IS TO PRESERVE THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT. All toxins that you take in through living, breathing, eating, RUBBING & SPRAYING STUFF ON YOUR SKIN, etc. all gets absorbed into the body and directly and indirectly effects your overall health and the proper functioning of your entire human body. Applying creams, serums, gels or sprays is NO DIFFERENT from eating them, because they enter the blood-stream regardless if they are ingested in the mouth or absorbed through the skin! Many cosmetic chemicals are designed to penetrate into the skin’s inner layers, and they do. Research conducted by the Herb Research Foundation, revealed that the skin absorbs up to 60 per cent of the chemicals in products that it comes into contact with directly into the bloodstream.
