With shorter, crisper days frighteningly close 😨, it’s time to ensure you are still looking after your health and keeping up a quality skin care routine. As we close our windows to the cooler air, the drying heat will leech moisture from our outer layer of skin. We need to be preemptive with preventing the dryness by making sure we stay hydrated (good ole H2O is always your best option for this) and using a quality moisturizer. A quality body butter is a great choice! You can even make your own if you want, with relatively few ingredients or initial investment. READ THOSE INGREDIENT LISTS. You want to use the least toxic product for sure. Skip those “fragrance” loaded creams.☠️ “When you see "fragrance" on a personal care product's label, read it as "hidden chemicals." https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/ask-ewg-what-fragrance Not only will hidden toxins harm your skin, but they can very well harm your overall health, especially over time. Many (including medical professionals) will never associate current symptoms or illness with something as seemingly innocuous as your hygiene products. YOU must be your own advocate and again, I cannot stress enough - READ THOSE INGREDIENTS. Educate yourself. Look at different sources of information to be sure you are not being misled. Reminder that Sunblock is still a good idea for those “outdoorsy” peeps who are active outside all year round, but putting your face and body in sunlight 🌞 for 20-30 minutes daily is ALSO healthcare - and necessary. https://www.goodrx.com/health-topic/environmental/benefits-of-sunlight Getting ready to settle in for some good old fashioned fall cleaning and purging here. Enjoy the season! #makingitcount Care and prevention are key to great skin health and it all starts with the ingredients you use on it - and what you are putting INTO your body. Seize the day! Enjoy the season! #makingitcount
