Every day, people everywhere, unwittingly expose themselves and Mother Earth, to hazardous materials. I say unwittingly, because these chemicals are found in household products that we use every day. Scientists now believe that exposure to these every day products, is a key factor in increase of certain chronic illness in children. Illnesses including cancer, asthma, ADD; birth defects, and many other problems. And if they are toxic to us, they are not helping environment either. As consumers, we are left in dark as to what are really in products we use. Manufacturers are required to list ingredients, but how are you supposed to know what those items do? Most of them you can't even pronounce! We all know that when it comes to Corporate America, profit usually wins out over consumer protection.

YOUR HOME IS THE NUMBER 1 SOURCE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS Because we spend 80-90% of our time indoors, that is where we are more likely to come in contact with toxic chemicals, residues and vapors.

Guys (and maybe ladies too), I have some good news about shaving. You have probably experienced some of hassles and problems of this chore and are familiar with its inherent potential for being very annoying.

You may be frustrated with razor burn and dry skin after struggling with your daily shaving routine. You can bet I tried all kinds of different razors, shaving cream and even some aftershaves to see what I could do about this problem.

You want to know what I found after a lot of experimenting and trying different things? You probably have a neat handy little item that is common household fare and may be found in your kitchen. It’s Olive Oil. You got it, olive oil!

The benefits to using olive oil for shaving are huge. It is such a natural lubricant that right kind of razor will slide right across your face giving you smooth and soft skin and still getting job of cutting growth from your face. And best part is that your skin will actually start to look younger after using olive oil to shave with over long term.

Therefore, do not forget to apply some olive oil to your forehead when you shave too. The reason is that rest of your face will become younger looking and you want your forehead to keep up. In retrospect, I remember reading about a famous Hollywood actress that mentioned that olive oil was her secret to having great skin.

You can bet that others are using olive oil to shave with too. I did a search right before deciding to share this information with you and sure enough there are other people out there that shave with olive oil.

One nice thing about it is that you don’t have to use high quality olive oil. You can buy inexpensive low grade olive oil that doesn’t taste very good from your local supermarket to shave with. A bottle will last a really long time. You can kiss your shaving cream goodbye. You can also leave out aftershave if you so choose. Your skin should feel great without it.

Now, let’s talk about that razor of yours. Here is what I have found out about razors and am willing to share with you. Even though I use great lubricant properties of olive oil to shave with, I still have found a few issues that using right kind of razor can help with.
