Did You Know a Healthy Lifestyle Is About More Than Just Food?

Fontline Consulting2025-02-05T19:38:04+00:00

When you think “healthy lifestyle,” you probably picture hitting the gym or munching on kale salads, right? Real health is about way more than just what you eat or how often you work out. It’s also about what you’re breathing in and putting on your skin (FYI, your skin is your body’s biggest organ!). 

Your skin isn’t just there to make you look good—it’s basically your body’s personal assistant. It keeps you cool, makes vitamin D, and even acts as a shield against all the nasty stuff like UV rays, bacteria, pollution, and chemicals in everyday products (think makeup and cleaning sprays). Don’t forget your lungs—they’re putting in work 24/7, bringing in oxygen and filtering out toxins. Here’s the catch though: they’re super sensitive to things like air fresheners, cleaning products, and even some cosmetics. 

The bad news? A ton of the products we use every day are loaded with harsh chemicals that can mess with your hormones, irritate your skin, trigger asthma, or worse- put you at risk for serious health issues like skin cancer or reduced lung function. Yikes, right? 

The good news? It’s actually really easy to make swaps that protect your skin, lungs, and overall vibe. Switching to natural, non-toxic products is a total game-changer. 

Here’s a quick hit list of things to swap out for safer options: 

  • Soap 
  • Laundry Detergent 
  • Skincare & Makeup 
  • Air Freshener 
  • Deodorant 

Luckily, there are SO many clean brands out there now that don’t sacrifice quality. Some faves: include Method, Rocky Mountain Soap, Aspen Clean, Seventh Generation, ILIA, Kosas, Saje, and Native. 

Consider DIY Options 

On a budget or just feeling crafty? DIY your own products! Making natural soaps or cleaning sprays is actually super fun, and there are endless online tutorials to get you started. Grab some friends, try out recipes, and make a whole day of it. Who knows? You might just find your new favourite hobby. 

Small swaps = big impact. Start today and give your skin (and your whole body) the love it deserves.
