Most of our skincare products we have been using for years can be potentially harmful. The repercussions of using these products are far-reaching, not only on our health but on the environment too.
It’s time to start a more mindful and natural beauty routine just as women and men did centuries before us.
Hidden Toxicity
Mass produced products are pumped with tons of artificial ingredients which could cause potential damage. These synthetic components are meant to preserve and fragrance the products.
We buy them in the hopes of solving a problem area for our skin and in turn this could lead to the cause of hormonal and endocrine imbalances and in some cases worsen your skin’s condition or cause extreme counter effects.
I always say that when it’s difficult to pronounce an ingredient it’s a warning sign. Time to help your skin naturally and start the hunt for unprocessed and clean products.
The closer to nature the natural skincare treatment is the more receptive your skin will become and open to healing.

Glad to find this article. My skin is very sensitive and get marks easily. I even had a skin cancer thanks to the sun. Luckily was early stages and was one cut. After the cut I made use of Aloe oil to make the mark lighter. Glad you covered all other remedies that can also help with any skin problems. Which item would be best for burnt marks? Thank you for your informative article.
Hi Bernard
We are truly blessed to have so many natural remedies at our disposal. Honey can speed up the healing process where needed when it comes to burns. Any products containing pure honey and organic honey its raw state can be applied directly to your skin.
All the best
I just absolutely love and enjoyed the read me being a welder most of my life have used my share of ALOE VERA and my brother was a bad alcoholic and didn’t even have a lining in his stomach he stayed miserable until he found some pasteurized ALOE VERA that he would take like a tablespoon full said it made his stomach feel normal.
I truly didn’t even give it thought that honey would be good for the skin I new it was good for alergies if it’s from the area you’re in, limons lemones are good for you no matter what just over run with Vitamin C along with a battery of other vitamins but didn’t think about LIMONE OIL? Cool, I can see the positive.
I belive you topic is probably one of the most important topic of all because there a hole battery of things we pass through our skin and the healthier our skin is the healthier we will be .
Thank You
