Your skin is your largest organ. While it is a protective covering for the body, it is also a means for substances to enter the body and get into the systemic circulation. All kinds of chemicals have the ability to enter the body by means of skin absorption. There are even chemicals that increase the skin’s ability to be permeable. We place too much trust in the products we use on our skin when many of the chemicals in skincare products are potentially harmful. Some can be harmful pretty quickly, while others are harmful with long-term exposure.
On Sunday, March 9, at 7:30 p.m. at Center for the Alignment of Body, Mind and Spirit, there will be a presentation with intentions to shed some light on some of the chemicals in skin-care products that are potentially harmful and should be avoided. There are thousands of products to choose from and by gaining some knowledge and getting into the habit of reading labels, you can make better choices with regard to the products you are rubbing on your skin. We’ll also focus on the benefits that various essential oils can have on the skin and types of carrier oils that you can use. You’ll learn how to make some simple and easy “do-it-yourself” skin-care products and have the opportunity to make your own essential oil-infused products that you can take home and enjoy right away. Instructional handouts will be provided so that you can continue to make and enjoy these products.
Space for this presentation is limited and requires registration.
Cost: $15. Location: 2050 Wantagh Ave., Wantagh. For more information, call 516-221-3500 or visit Align-Me.com. See ad on page 25.
