Protecting Your Skin from Toxic Cosmetics

There has been a lot of talk recently (and in the past) about lead and other contaminants used in cosmetics.  Most of us don't think twice when we put on lipstick, or powder our noses, but a great deal of those cosmetics (and shampoos, conditioners, soaps) can leach into the body through the skin.  Many of these contaminants are neurotoxins, affecting the brain and nervous system.  Many overburden the liver and kidneys.   If the body does not expel these toxins, they will continue to reek havoc on the various systems and organs.

What can you do to protect yourself?  Drink Perfect Science Ayterion Agua daily; bath using the Bath Spa product; add it to your food, drinks, soaps, etc.

Use a layer of our Aloe Gel before you put your makeup or deodorant on.  It will form a protective barrier that will transform the toxins before they hit your bloodstream.

Consider organic natural cleansers and lotions, such as Novaurora.

You can protect yourself. Just take the first step.
