Where Are Toxins Hiding in My Personal Care Products?
Think about the personal care products you use every day. Do you know what’s in them? Such products are easy hiding places for toxins, yet we lather them on our skin, hair, and lips. Your skin absorbs the products you put on it. And it’s easy for what you put on your face and hands to end up in your mouth by the end of the day.
People use at least several personal care products daily, so taking the time to read labels and switch to cleaner, natural options can make a big difference. One of the first things to look for when you pick up a label is artificial fragrances. They’re chock-full of synthetic chemicals. Parabens, sulfates, and phthalates are also chemicals to look out for.
Fortunately, your body is designed to filter toxins. Your mucus membranes, digestive system, kidneys, and liver work together to tackle toxins you encounter.
So what’s the big deal? Well, your body systems have a limit. If your toxic load becomes too heavy, your body’s ability to eliminate them falters. When you’re overwhelmed with toxins—when you’d want your body to function most efficiently to take care of the problem—the debilitating burden makes everything work less efficiently.
While it’s impossible to remove all toxins from your life, you can reduce your exposure! You control what products are in your space. By limiting toxic exposure in your home and on your body, you can reduce your toxic load, making the burden lighter and improving your ability to properly handle any toxins that come your way.
From deodorant and lotion to shampoo and beyond, doTERRA has an incredible lineup of personal care products you can feel good about using—products that are simple, safe, and effective!
