Description
Most of us know by now that what we eat or put into our body has a huge impact on our health and the way we will age, but, did you know that what we put on our body, what comes in contact with our skin, is every bit as important to our health and aging as the food we eat. In this week’s episode of The Life after Kids Podcast, we discuss the importance of using non-toxic beauty products. You’ll learn how the chemicals in many beauty products can be harmful to our health, especially as we age, and we give recommendations for non-toxic beauty brands and products that we personally use and trust. Every choice we make today, including what products we use on our skin, impacts our health and the aging process. It can be difficult to find safe, nontoxic beauty products that actually work, but don’t worry, we’ve done the work and research for you! Learn more about healthier beauty products and makeup in this week’s episode of The Life after Kids Podcast.
