Our skin is very permeable, and it's the biggest organ in our bodies. It absorbs good nutrients just as well as chemicals, heavy metals and toxins. Exposure to small amounts of various toxins every day accumulate in the tissues and organs of your body and the consequences may take years to manifest. Recent scientific studies show that a lot of chemicals are toxic even at very low doses and scientists have already proved that toxins present in skincare and makeup impact negatively on our system causing issues like hormonal imbalance and even cancer. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your baby is even more susceptible to absorbing the chemicals present in your self-care routine products, that's why opting for natural self-care is a wise and conscious choice with impacts on your beauty and your lifestyle.
