Why should you worry? Our skin is an organ. One of its capabilities is the ability to absorb the things on our skin. That is why medicines like Dramamine come in a patch. The nicotine patch is another example. Our bodies absorb some amount of the chemicals we put on ourselves. This includes make-up, chlorine in our water, and the chemicals that are in our soaps, toothpastes, shampoos and deodorant.
The liver has to work overtime to get these toxins out of our bodies. People who are fat have another problem. The fat cells in our bodies absorb these poisons and carry them around in our blood streams. I am sure this is why fat people tend to be sicker than most individuals who are more fit.
Fortunately there is a ray of hope. Health stores are now featuring soaps and detergents that are free of SLES and SLS. They cost a little more and don’t foam up as nicely as we are used to. But who needs these poisons floating around in our bodies. Women, when you buy shampoos and conditioners from your hair stylist, insist on all natural ingredients. If enough people do this then we can make some progress toward eliminating these chemicals. Also buy make-up that is more natural. You wear it all day. Watch what you are putting on your skin.
We don’t know the long term effects of these toxins on and in our bodies but why take a chance. Does anyone know what really causes cancer?
