Compiling your reading list for summer? Why not incorporate some healthy reads while you’re at it? Stock up on these natural beauty books for the details on living a healthier life.
Healthy has been deemed the new skinny. Meaning, it’s better to be healthy than simply thin. Agreed. And if skinny was once thought to be the standard of beauty, then healthy is definitely the new beautiful.
Just as signs of an unhealthy lifestyle show up as heart disease, diabetes, or cancer, they also show up on the skin. Remember, the skin is our largest organ and the only one we can look in the mirror and see. If we pay attention to what it tells us (acne, dryness, irritation…) we can possibly ward off illness before it gets the chance to start.
One great way to do this is by using nontoxic beauty and personal care products. We are hyper aware of the dangers of toxic cosmetic ingredients–that they have the ability to soak into deeper layers of skin, and enter our blood stream. These nasty synthetic concoctions can linger in some of our organs causing moderate to severe health issues, like allergies, reproductive issues, and cancer.
Whether you are new to this whole organic beauty thing or looking for ideas, add some healthy natural beauty books to your summer reading list.
