Do you ever think about the ingredients in your beauty products? What you put on your body🧖🏽♀️ is just as important as what you put in 😋 your body. Often, we tend to focus on ourselves internally, such as what we eat, and tend to ignore what we put on our bodies, our skin. 🧖🏽♂️
Did you know your skin is your largest organ? 🤔 It's kind of weird to think of our skin as an essential body part. Our skin is healthy. It protects our internal body parts. We forget that our skin in itself needs care and nutrients to stay healthy. 💆🏽♀️💆🏾♂️ This is why the awareness of what goes on your skin is vital to your skincare. Knowing exactly where and what is in your beauty products is the key. Are your products full of ingredients you can't pronounce or seem to be all chemicals?
