Today’s hot tips include being wary of ingredients found in water and your common skin care products.  You might not be aware of how harmful these things can be.  By themselves, once in a while, it shouldn’t pose a problem.  However, the effects are cumulative and your water, shampoos/conditioners, moisturizers, lipsticks, sunblock, and even your soap bars contain ingredients you’ll hear about today. https://scientifichealer.com/appointment
