I’m on a mission to live the healthiest, purest, cleanest
life possible. This awareness applies not just to what I put in my body (whole, pescatarian, plant-centered) but also to what I put on my body. Just as I don’t trust processed and
packaged foods with ingredients I don’t recognize or understand, I no longer
want to lather on lotion with a list of unintelligible components, many of
which have been shown to be toxic and carcinogenic.
Dealing with the cancer diagnosis of a most loved one is enough of a reason to
re-evaluate one’s diet and overall healthfulness. When my dog also became a
cancer patient a few months later, I began to worry about what chemicals and additives in my
daily regimen he may have been ingesting just by licking my skin.
Hello! Those same chemicals were being absorbed through my
skin, into my blood, everyday. I’m done with chemicals, additives, unnatural colors
and fragrance. And in an effort to know exactly what is in my bath and beauty
products I am embarking on a new adventure, making my own.
I have started an Etsy shop with my mom (cancer
survivor) and sister. We look forward to sharing these all-natural body
products with everyone. And while they are in fact edible, please use our
scrubs and body butters on your skin only. Cheers to good health and glowing, inside and out!
What we put in our bodies is as important as what we put on our bodies. And good news, gorgeous skin is just a sip away. I came across this article about great teas to give your skin a healthy boost. Many of these highly touted ingredients such as Dandelion, Burdock, Vitamin C, Aloe Vera, and a host of antioxidants are also available in a daily supplement I use called Raw Reserve. No matter your method, happy skin detoxing!
