If beauty is skin deep, then the skin needs to be the one organ that we work the very hardest to prevent damages to, so that we do not have to face the horrors of the past while trying to undo the passage of time. In order to keep that beauty all of your life you have to live a relatively healthy lifestyle, and this information needs to be passed on to our children. It would have been wonderful if we had known when we were young that all that sun exposure without the use of protective sun block was going to leave our skin looking like well tanned rawhide when we got older.

If we had known that the sun we were worshipping was emitting harmful rays that were going to cause such horrors as skin cancer, wrinkles, age spots, and freckles, we might would have done better. Instead we soaked up the photo aging UVA rays the sun tossed at us right along with those sunburn causing UVB rays, and we thought how healthy we looked with those glowing tans. We have to teach the young to be careful in the sun. We also need to teach them to carefully choose the products they will use.

Preventing the suns damage by using a product ...
... full of manmade chemicals that will eventually do far more damage than it did good, is rather like cutting off your nose to spite your face. There is no sense in doing it. Children must be taught that nature produces the things we need to protect our skin, feed our bodies, and keep us healthy.

You know though, most of the items you use as an adult, you do so because when you were a child you saw someone you liked using them. So when you go outdoors let your child see you apply natural sunscreens, and when you come home allow them to see you use natural cleansers to clean your skin. Allow your child to be a witness to your drinking plenty of fresh water daily and to you consuming fresh fruits and vegetables that will benefit your body.

Show your children that beauty is only skin deep, but that if you provide your insides with all they need to be healthy, then your skin can be beautiful on both sides.
