If You Want to Achieve Your Youngest-Looking Skin, You Should: Be mindful of what you are putting into your body and what you should keep out Switch out the toxic products that sit on your skin with certified organic products instead Start viewing your skincare products the same as you view your food intake   We often forget that our skin is our largest organ in the body and plays a pivotal role in our hormones, longevity, immune system, and overall health. Everything you put onto your skin is absorbed into your body, including your shampoo, lotion, makeup, and household cleaners. When we use personal care products that are filled with chemicals, it can lead to a myriad of health problems and actually age us faster.   Natural Skincare Solutions With Brian Vaszily Brian Vaszily is a prominent natural health leader, researcher, and advocate with over 20 years of experience.

Unfortunately, the personal care industry is one of the most unregulated industries in this country, with only 11 chemicals being banned for use in personal care products. Compared to the over 1300 chemicals that have been banned in the EU and other countries, this is a huge red flag. While consuming these toxic products through your skin may not have an immediate effect on your health, using these products for days, weeks, and years can be detrimental. This is why we have to put as much time and care into selecting products for our skin as we do when feeding ourselves.   Achieving Younger-Looking Skin Naturally Let's be honest; we all want to look younger. Our skin is a big indicator of youth, which is why we can't separate it from the rest of our health. The goal is to put something on our skin that will keep us looking, and feeling great, without damaging our skin biome and immune system. Aging is a wonderful thing. But the key to aging gracefully is to use products that nourish us rather than consuming chemicals that can have some seriously negative long-term effects on our health. By educating yourself on the best ingredients for your skin, you can look and feel younger for longer.
