This is a quick question for you, can you eat your skin care products? Check the label, if it says “Do not ingest” then you should not. Think about the ramifications. Your skin is your bodies largest organ and absorbs whatever you may put on it. Think about when you put your skin care on your skin, does it stay on top or does it absorb into your body. If you are not supposed to ingest your skin care product, where do the ingredients go that you are not supposed to ingest? Protect your skin, but be careful about what you put on it.
Think about your skin as a great absorption pad. Whatever you put on it goes into your body. Capillaries are just under the skin. If it absorbs into your skin, it goes into your capillaries and then into the rest of your blood system. If something goes into your mouth, at least it has to go through your digestive system before it is moved around the body by the blood system. Think about that the next time you put something on your skin.
The best skin care products have no formaldehyde and no added parabens. You should be able to taste the skin care product with no ill effects. Preferably, the product will have a shelf life of at least two years with no refrigeration. Check out your skin care, if it does not meet these criteria, contact the person who referred you to this article, or contact me if you found this on your own. I would love to talk with you about the benefits of good skin care, especially if you are like me and had way too much sun when you were younger.
I do agree with all the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
Would you eat a squirt of what s on your bathroom counter right now? Spread some of your moisturizer on your holiday dinner roll? Add a dollop of your face serum to your morning tea?
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your comment. Interesting comments. Now, would you put a squirt of what is on your bathroom counter on your skin? I know I would not. Actually a touch of my facial serum in my herbal tea probably would not be too bad. I will have to try the moisturizer before I decide to put it on my dinner roll. The skin care products I use are intended to be put on the skin, but if you swallow a bit of them, no harm done. The skin is the largest organ each of us has. It has less filtration than our digestive system does. The reason I avoid products that state “Do not ingest” is that if the product is actually absorbed (an entirely different problem with some products), the substances that are bad for you to ingest will get into your system through your skin. I am not sure if I personally would like that.
