Skin care is one element of an organic lifestyle; however it’s a big one because the skin is the body’s largest organ. Chemicals applied to the skin can be absorbed by the skin and can enter the blood stream, particularly areas that are hairy like the scalp due to the larger hair follicles. Also areas of thinner skin, like around the eyes.
Chemicals can also be inhaled if they contain gas or aerosols (small droplets) e.g. hair spray, deodorants, nail polish. Aerosols can also be liberated in the shower from the effects of heat on shampoos. Chemicals inhaled this way will enter the bloodstream quickly via the lungs.
