What do you put on your skin?

Just recently I have started to read the labels on my lotion, shampoo, toothpaste etc. And I do wonder "How much of all of that stuff that I can't pronounce gets absorbed through my skin and does it affect me? Well some may think I'm being a little extreme, but I think it is definitely something to think about. It's hard to get "all natural" everything, but I have made a few small changes and I do think twice before I rub something into my skin. I have been using coconut oil for lotion. I love it because I love the smell of coconuts. (It kinda smells like an almond joy Roy =) But the ingredients read coconut oil. And that is it. It is edible. So I feel pretty safe rubbing it on my skin every day. And a little bit goes a long ways so it is pretty cheap to buy. I'm still trying to find a good sunscreen, but I came across this article and thought it was quite interesting so I thought I would share. Click here to read the article. Let me know what you think.

  1. I completely agree that you need to be aware of the products you're using your on your body. Makeup too! It started for me around when Kendall was born. Where are you buying the coconut oil?
