The skin is the largest organ in the body. Any cream applied to the skin is 'ingested' into the body. For this reason, I prefer to use the most natural skin care products for treatment of minor conditions such as simple sunburns, dry skin and diaper rash.
We are all aware of the links between sun exposure and skin cancer, and more people are making sunscreens, hats, and other protective clothing a regular habit.
Emerging research suggests that chemicals in standard sunscreens may increase the risk of cancer, and that some exposure to the sun is beneficial. When using protective lotions for the skin, I prefer the more natural brands. |
