A. R. T. Skin Care Products
Human skin is like a large sponge. It absorbs traces of almost everything that comes into contact with it—both harmful and beneficial. The skin is especially susceptible to exposure to organic solvents and petroleum–based chemicals. When some of these come into contact with the skin, they can be absorbed in far higher volumes than other types of substances.
This means that many questionable petrochemicals commonly found in personal care products, such as Soldium Laurel Sulphate (SLS), Triethanol amine (DEA), PEGs, and quarterniums can be absorbed into the skin. Over time, some of these chemicals may accumulate in the organs and tissues and result in mounting brain, nerve, and liver damage.
The most troubling indication that the synthetic chemicals in cosmetics and shampoos may be leaching into our bodies was provided by the government-funded Human Adipose Tissue Survey (Bock, 1996). According to this study, almost every person tested showed measurable levels of petroleum-based, carcinogenic chemicals, such as toluene, benzene, and styrene, in their fatty tissues.
This is why increasing numbers of health professionals are recommending personal care formulas that are completely natural and free of synthetic or petroleum-based ingredients. “To stay healthy, people have do more than just exercise and eat healthy,” states Denver physician Terry Friedmann, M.D. “Consumers should also avoid personal care products that contain toxic synthetic ingredients that can penetrate the skin and accumulate in their tissues. In some cases, these products can have a greater impact on health than either diet or exercise.” The ART Skin Care Product is one of the many products developed by Young Living which meets this need. All the ingredients in the Day Activator, Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Night Reconstructor are plant-derived.
