It may seem redundant to say that we actually have quite a lot of skin. We know this already right? We can tell just from looking down at our body and the fact that skin covers the entire lot of it. Do you realise just how much skin that actually is though? National geographic states that the average adult has approximately 3.5 kilos or 2 square metres of skin… that’s a huge amount given that this is the first point of exposure for our body to any harmful elements out there.
How are you protecting this valuable asset? Trying to stay out of the sun? Using a moistursing body wash? Using an organic body lotion?
It’s a good idea, as well as sunscreen, to consider daily moisturising using an organic body lotion. It’s easy to remember to protect your face and neck, as when you look in the mirror that’s what you typically notice first. But it’s important to not neglect the rest of your skin as it’s exposed to the harshness of the environment just as your face is.
Using natural body lotions starting from your shoulders and working your way down to your toes especially at a time such as after you step out of the shower or bath, is a great way to ensure you’re not neglecting any part of your body.
Don’t neglect your skin in winter, keep up your regular routine of using an organic body lotion – it’s not just about summer you know, though summer may be the time we focus on our organic skincare the most because of the apparentness of the sun and it’s damages. This is the time (and it feels like the appropriate temperature!) we remember to use our organic or natural body lotion.
Due to lower humidity it’s actually winter where we see lots of dry, and uncomfortable skin, little cuts or cracks around the knuckles of the fingers and hands devoid of moisture. This is a sign not be ignored, and it’s important you address this with your natural body lotion. Don’t let your hands give away your age thanks to neglect!
One of many important ingredients you may wish to check when considering lotion is the presence of vitamin E, found in such by-products as argan oil. Vitamin E is a great healer, it stimulates skin cell rejuvenation for healthy and glowing skin for all skin types, it also is an effective soother and protector for your skin. And it's natural too!
Awareness is your first defense for your body. Take the time to make responsible decisions while choosing the right organic body lotion. You’ll be protecting not just your skin, but the health of the environment as well.
Your skin is actually your first line of protection for the rest of your body. So while taking care of it may seem tedious and unnecessary, it’s actually vitally important for the health of the rest of your body.
