Amy’s Fall Skin Routine!
I get asked quite a bit which Liferoot products I personally use… or do I use them at all or all of them at once? haha. I don’t think there would be enough time in the day for that.

Be Sun Resilient, Eat Your Sunscreen, & Throw The Toxic Tube Away
Human beings evolved and thrived under the sun. Sunlight was a constant in people’s lives, warming and guiding them through the days and seasons. Cultures spent the bulk of our history outside, mostly naked with very little covering. Skin was the primary interface with the world. Melanin & Eumelanin (protective pigments in the skin) would react with UV light and make the skin darker and more resilient to the sun. The skin would thicken in appearance, protecting the body if need be.

Happy Hands ~ Soap, Hand Sanitizer, Do’s, Don’ts & Recipes!
Liferoot now carries hand sanitizer! So you all know my love for all things natural, tree-hugging and herbal.
