    I agree we should be cautious of what we put on our skin - surely there
    has to be some correlation with the raise in health problems and the
    number of chemicals we apply on to our skin.

    ‘If you can’t put it in your mouth, don’t put it on the skin,’ is the
    philosophy of Ayurveda an ancient Indian science of health and medicine.

    Please let me know of any places you know which you would recommend for natural health/skin care products. Also I’d been keen to hear from others who have any thoughts on the subject - please post a message with your views on the subject.

    I look forward to hearing from you
