I live in a house full of fair skinned people with blonde hair, so sunscreen is an absolute must around here. If we fail to apply or reapply during the course of the day, I come home with very burned babies. And, those burns today can lead into serious skin consequences later. Since skipping is not an option, what is needed is something safe to use on the entire crew regularly. “I knew that sunscreen contained chemicals but was surprised at the amount of toxic chemicals listed in the ingredients.” This was not the direction I wanted to head. “I have read many articles that actually show evidence that there is an increase in cancer when sunscreens are used. “ Instead, of chemicals, I chose to go with a more natural sunscreen option. A non-nano zinc oxide base provides the sun protection needed while the beeswax component makes it waterproof which is vital when dealing with kids. The best all natural sunscreen we've come across is from Adams Handmade Soap. Click on the link, natural sunscreen, to order yours today. I have to protect my kids wherever I can. That means sunscreen even when they do not want it. And it also means choosing sunscreen which protects their skin instead of adding chemicals which could be dangerous in the long run. It is just worth it to take a more natural approach. ### SOURCE: http://www.earthmamasworld.com/homemade-natural-sunscreen-sunblock/ PHOTO: Shira Gal – Wear Sunscrean https://www.flickr.com/photos/miss_pupik/

Personal hygiene is an important part of how we take care of ourselves and how the world sees us. There are many components to consider. One vital part of our personal hygiene regiment must be how we care for our skin. Skin is seen and felt on such a regular basis that its care is vital to how we are perceived. “A good bath once or twice a day is recommended.” It keeps us fresh and feeling our best. “You can use a bath sponge for scrubbing.” but do keep in mind skin is delicate so harsh or abrasive materials should be avoided. And of course, no bath would be complete without the key components of soap and water. The soap you choose can certainly lend significantly to the bath experience. A warm bath with a great soap leaves you ready to take on the world again. It rejuvenates the mind as well as the body. “Drying with a clean towel is important.” Removing excess water from the surface of the skin helps keep the warm feeling even after the bath has ended. A bath is one simple way you can treat yourself to a little pampering every day. It allows some quiet time to reflect and relax from the bustle of the world outside. It may just become the best part of the day. ### SOURCE: http://www.webhealthcentre.com/HealthyLiving/personal_hygiene_routine.aspx#2 PHOTO: Ben Smith – Me Time https://www.flickr.com/photos/dotbenjamin/ We know there are a lot of choices on the market today for soap. They all seem to make big promises of softer skin, healthy glows, and amazing fragrance while still being mindful of sensitive skin. The truth is, most commercial soaps are harmful to the people using them and wreak havoc on sensitive skin. The only real solution for a soap you can trust to perform as it claims is a natural soap. There are many people these days who deal with sensitive skin. And, most commercial soaps, no matter what claims they make, tend to exasperate the problem. “Natural soaps are recommended especially to people with sensitive skin.” This is because natural soaps do not use the harsh chemical components of commercial soaps. And, though cost may look higher initially, when you factor in what you will not need to spend on additional products to treat the sensitive skin issues, the savings in using natural quickly become apparent. Natural soaps are ideal for personalizing. “The ingredients may include coconut oil, olive oil, aloe Vera or any other natural ingredients that fits your individual needs.” This provides a great range allowing you to give your skin exactly what it needs and nothing else. And, even without having it as a main selling point, the scent from the natural ingredients still gives that amazing fragrance without the chemical fillers. ### SOURCE: http://ezinearticles.com/?Information-on-Natural-Soaps&id=7041155 PHOTO: tec_estromberg – Baby After Bath #34 https://www.flickr.com/photos/92334668@N07/ It’s once again the time of year when it seems everywhere you turn you see people coughing and sneezing. No one wants to take that home with them, but we cannot lock the doors and stay inside until spring. The next best option has to be hand washing. The better job we do washing our hands, the less likely we will be to bring flu and other viruses into our homes and bodies this year. “Remember, good health hygiene is critical and as parents, it’s really important to teach our kids good health hygiene from the very start so healthy habits can continue as they get older.” Children cannot protect themselves from germs if we do not show them how to properly wash their hands.
So simple and yet so often overlooked. Take the time to clean your hand and teach your children to clean them properly as well. Your family will thank you for it. ### SOURCE: http://www.wellsphere.com/healthy-living-article/swine-flu-vs-soap-our-bet-s-on-the-soap/659768 PHOTO: Tina Franklin – Sneeze https://www.flickr.com/photos/97481684@N08/ |
