Wait; hold off on brushing your teeth, moisturizing your face and applying your daily makeup. Did you know that an estimated 100,000 synthetic chemicals are believed to be in use today in the United States? Each year 1,000 or more are being added, 90% of which are not tested for their effects on human health. Do you believe that the only harmful chemicals are those that you ingest? Surprisingly our bodies absorb 80% of everything we place on our skin- these chemicals persist in the environment, accumulate in our body fat and remain in breast cancer tissue for decades.

As we celebrate National Breast Cancer Awareness Month it is important to learn how simple steps can prevent a disease that will result in the fight of your life. Many cosmetic companies advertise that it is safe to put chemicals which cause cancer, infertility and other health problems, into our personal care products because the amount in each product is too small to matter. This may be true, but think about how much we use in just one day and multiply it by a month, year, and lifetime!

This is only a small sampling of what we use in the morning alone. Start today in the prevention of breast cancer and it just may save your life. Switching from harmful products with lists of ingredients to Arbonne products that are vegan certified, organic, gluten free and synthetic free will drastically decrease your risk of breast cancer.
