Are You Ruining Your Outdoor Time by Using Harmful Chemicals

Post by: KATHY SKINNER in DIY recipe, Non Toxic, bug repellant

Heading into warmer weather means you are probably spending more time outdoors. 
I sure am! I love walking/hiking and gardening, lots of gardening. This also means I am getting more exposure to the sun and the bugs. So, if you are like me, you are wearing a hat and lathering yourself with products to repel the rays and bugs. 

Did you know that 60% of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream. Allergies, hormonal disruptions, irritation, cancer, and reproductive issues are just a few of the problems that can develop if your skin is exposed to dangerous chemicals for prolonged periods.
Pretty scary don’t you think? 

To minimize these risks, you can make your own sunscreen – click HERE to get my recipe and scroll down for a wonderful smelling to humans bug repellant, but not to the bugs.
