Healthy Eating From the Inside Out and the Outside In

Did you know that you feed your body in more ways than putting food in your mouth?

Most people think that eating is the only way to feed your body - unless you're too sick to eat, then you get your food by IV instead of by mouth.

But that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm sure you've heard of the nicotine patch, the birth control patch or other patches used medically to get drugs into your body. These drugs are delivered through your skin into your bloodstream.

That doesn't work only for drugs.

A great deal of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream. What you put on your skin is feeding your body. So why would you want to put chemicals on your skin that you wouldn't eat? Chemicals that you don't want in your body should not be used on your skin.

But, in fact, that is exactly what's in a great deal of the cosmetics, skin care and body care products on the market.

Are you as careful about what you feed your skin as you are about the food you eat? Or maybe could you do better at both?

You may have read recently that cancer-causing chemicals have been found in body care products on the shelves of health food stores. Then later these same chemicals were found in body care products you buy in grocery, drug and department stores, even in baby products. In fact, just last month Johnson & Johnson was in the news for refusing to remove the cancer-causing chemicals from it's baby shampoo, the number one baby shampoo recommended by hospitals!

How do you know if the products you use on your skin are healthy or not?

I've made it easy for you to feed and nourish your skin with only healthy skin care and body care products.

Dying To Look Good "Best Brands" has just been released.

Dying To Look Good "Best Brands" lists safe and healthy cosmetics, skin care and body care products in 28 different categories, by brand name, with links to the products on the company websites. There are also links to store locations for those products sold in stores. AND many of the companies offer discounts to Dying To Look Good "Best Brands" members. Learn more.

Make sure you're feeding and nourishing your skin with only healthy skin care products. If you act fast, Men's Care is one of the categories of products in the first week, just in time for Father's Day. Help the men you care about nourish their skin too!
