The skin that covers your body from the neck down makes up 91% of the surface area of your skin, which absorbs much of what you put on it. While there are lots of facial products I’d like to get off the shelves because of their questionable ingredients, switching to clean body products is definitely the place to start. It comes down to math: if you’re trying to decrease the number of ingredients you’re exposing yourself and your family to, the most effective way to do it is by starting with the products that get used daily on the greatest surface area of skin.
