I just graduated from medical school, so I know a bit more than the average person when it comes to this stuff The majority of conventional beauty products that you can buy anywhere are full of horrible ingredients that can and cannot absorb into your skin dependent upon how big or small the molecules are. Once they are absorbed (if they even are), they go to a variety of places: your blood, liver, etc. Neither of you are wrong. In my opinion, it looks like Amanda hit the nail on the head by saying it very generally. Erin, Amanda’s reasoning for using eco-friendly skin care products is 100% on and accurate.

Ingredients in skin care products don't absorb into your bloodstream, the molecules are too big. How effective would they be if they just seeped through your skin? <br /><br />Instead, look for eco-friendly packaging in all your products. Are they made from post-consumer recycled products? Are they recyclable?<br /><br />Oh, and to add to Giorgio's comment: Dust with those new microfiber cloths. They're inexpensive and washable.

I've been hearing so much about "going green" and really had no idea what I could personally do. I love your blog and would love to see what your apartment looks like now - aka the "after" pictures.
