good or bad....Your skin absorbs 65% of what you put on it

​How many times has this happened to you? You go to grab a bottle of lotion off the shelf at our local store. You turn the bottle around to read the ingredients and you see….
 
DO NOT INGEST
 
Understandably, most of us would not even attempt to ingest such products. But what if what you put on your skin actually was ingested? Directly through your skin. What we do know is that our skin is our largest organ. In fact, we have roughly 22 square feet of it! We also know through studies that approximately 65% of what goes on our skin actually enters our blood stream. 
 
Now, think about all the products that we come I contact with. Everything from the make-up we put on our faces every day, the soap we use to wash dishes, soap we use to wash our clothes (most detergents leave a residue that comes in contact with our skin all day every day), lotions, perfumes. 
 
So many. Every day.
 
Have you ever thought about how a pain patch works? What about birth control patches? The medicine is placed externally and absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. These manufacturers understand this concept of what goes on our skin, goes into our bodies. They wouldn’t continue to sell products like this if they didn’t work.
 
It is always a good idea to read the ingredients that go ON your body. Opt for things that you wouldn’t mind putting IN your body. Simple, clean, organic ingredients. 
 
You are worth it! You shouldn’t have to deal with toxic chemicals running through your body especially when you are unaware that they are even there. 
 
There are so many other environmental toxins that are completely out of our control. Chemicals that are coming from the materials in our homes, the air we breathe. 
 
BUT….
 
There are things that ARE in our control and those are the things we purchase and put on our bodies. 
 
Now that you know that 65% of what you put on your skin actually enters your blood stream, would you think twice about the products you choose? I know I do. 
 
That was one of the biggest reasons why SUNRAYS Naturals was born.
