Why your daily products matter more than you think
Why your daily products matter more than you think.
26 Seconds. That’s All It Takes.
I’ve been living a non-toxic(ish) lifestyle for years now. Swapping out conventional products, choosing cleaner beauty, and paying closer attention to what goes on and in my body. But recently, while studying to become an Integrative Health Practitioner, I read something in The Rain Barrel Effect that stopped me in my tracks:
It only takes 26 seconds for your body to absorb what you apply to your skin.
Twenty-six. Seconds.
That’s faster than it takes me to make a cup of coffee.
Faster than replying to a text.
Faster than it takes to brush your teeth or apply mascara.
Isn’t that wild?
Our skin is our largest organ—and it’s more permeable than most people think. What we apply doesn’t just sit there. It gets absorbed, and those ingredients? They don’t just disappear. Thankfully, our bodies are designed to detox. Our liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system work daily to clear things out.
But here’s the thing: there’s a limit.
Once your “rain barrel” fills up from years of exposure to products, food, water, air, meds, and stress it overflows. That overflow is what we experience as:
Hormonal imbalances
Skin irritation
Brain fog
Digestive issues
Fatigue
Inflammation
And more
So what can we do?
We can’t live in a bubble, and I’ll be the first to tell you I still get my nails done and color my hair. But we can lower the amount of toxins we’re willingly applying to our body every day.
That’s where intentional swaps come in.
You don’t have to overhaul your entire bathroom overnight. I created the Beginner’s Guide to Switching to Non-Toxic Products to help you start with the basics—your everyday essentials. The products you use daily are the ones that have the biggest impact.
Start small. Be consistent.
And remember: it’s not about perfection—it’s about progress and protecting your health from the inside out.
Have you found yourself struggling with symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, or digestive issues—and you just can’t pinpoint the cause?
That’s exactly where root cause medicine comes in.
I’m getting ready to officially launch my practice so I can help people live their most vibrant, aligned lives; without the endless cycle of band-aid solutions. I know how frustrating it feels to be dismissed or told “everything looks normal” when deep down, you know something’s off.
I personally battled autoimmune issues for years. It wasn’t until I started addressing the root cause of my symptoms that true healing began. Now, I’m on a mission to help others experience that same freedom and vitality.
