Now is the time to purge chemicals from your skin care routine and rediscover your natural glow! It's ironic, but many of the popular skin care and personal care products on store shelves will actually cause your skin (and you) to age faster, which will rob your beauty and your health. This is because they contain toxic, synthetic chemicals. For example, read my articles:
Many of the toxic chemicals in skin care products will enter your bloodstream and disrupt your endocrine (hormone) system. This includes the thyroid, insulin (blood sugar), estrogens, testosterone, cortisol (stress hormone), and growth hormone. Some can be carcinogenic (cause cancer). Plus, many of the chemicals cause allergic reactions or irritation to the skin, eyes, or lungs. Bad news! The Environmental Working Group makes it their mission for consumers like you to know exactly what chemicals are in the products you bring into your home and how they may affect your health and the environment. Their Skin Deep cosmetics database is the world's largest safety reference tool for personal-care products for both adults and babies. I encourage you to check it out!

It's very simple to make your own nourishing facial serum!
Simply mix your favorite essential oils for skin care with a carrier oil tailored for the face. I use either organic tamanu oil or Rosehip seed oil for the carrier oil in my facial serum. Both are very nourishing and provide healing properties. See HERE for more detailed instructions.
