Now Foods’ Almond Oil
A friend once told me “don’t put anything on your skin that you wouldn’t eat.” I thought that was an odd comment, but after reflecting on the fact that our skin is our body’s largest organ, it made sense. Much of what we place on our skin makes its way into our blood stream—think birth control and nicotine patches. With little regulation, it’s important for us to be cognizant of what our beauty products contain. To make things simple, if you can’t pronounce it, don’t apply it. And, be strategic. If a product is applied to your face and quickly washed off, it hardly compares to lotion being absorbed throughout an entire day.
Make a simple switch by ditching your lotion and opting for an all-natural oil, like Now Foods’ Almond Oil. Almond oil absorbs completely, boats high levels of vitamin E, (with antioxidant and replenishing properties), and protects your skin from UV radiation damage and oxidative stress.
