We often hear the saying, "you are what you eat." But what about what you put on your skin?

Most people don’t realize that your skin is the largest organ in your body. It does much more than just cover your bones and muscles. Your skin protects you from the elements, regulates your body temperature, and even plays a role in detoxification. Despite all this, many of us don’t think twice about the ingredients in the products we apply daily.

The Importance of Skincare Ingredients

From moisturizers and cleansers to sunscreens and serums, the products we use can be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. This is why it’s so important to treat your skincare choices with the same level of care and attention you give to your diet.

Whenever possible, opt for products that use clean, non-toxic, and naturally derived ingredients. Harsh chemicals can do more harm than good — and your skin deserves better.

Simple Rules for Healthy Skin

Here are a few simple rules to follow:

💧 Treat your skin with care — it’s your first line of defense.
🌿 Feed it well — use nourishing, safe ingredients.
🧴 Choose products that support your skin’s health, not compromise it.

How to Make Informed Choices

If you're unsure where to start, there's a fantastic tool that can help. The Yuka app is a free resource that provides unbiased information about the ingredients in your personal care (and food) products. Simply scan a product’s barcode and get a score out of 100, along with a detailed breakdown of each ingredient’s health impact and environmental footprint.

It's an easy way to make more informed, cleaner choices — and your skin will thank you for it.

The Benefits of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to enhance your skincare routine. By incorporating essential oils into your daily regimen, you can experience a range of benefits. These oils can help relieve stress, improve sleep, and even alleviate chronic aches and pains.

Combining massage with essential oils creates a holistic approach to well-being. Each treatment can be personalized to meet your specific needs, especially during perimenopause.
