Skin Deep

A large part of the work I do involves the skin and people often ask me about skin products.  Although as a homeopath I promote the fact that skin is affected by what we put into our bodies, I am equally aware that we want to take care of our skin from the outside too.  There are an amazing amount of skin products out there and I do not pretend to be an expert in this field. However, I felt the need to look into products more closely and found to my dismay that the ingredients being used in most products can actually being doing us more harm than good.  Some ingredients for instance in a lip balm actually dry the skin out and we then need to reapply more and more.  Other ingredients are know to be carcinogenic.
