Skin is a permeable protective barrier, constantly sampling your environment to prepare your immune system for any new challenges. As well as taking in substances from your environment (including toxins from chemical personal care products) this permeability allows your body to excrete normal metabolic waste through the skin. In fact, the composition of sweat is very similar to urine. In this sense, the skin has been considered by some to be a "third kidney". For this reason, various health researchers now promote skin support programs to try to assist the body with elimination of these natural metabolic wastes, by assisting exfoliation and increasing perspiration. Skin cleanses often incorporate high mineral bath salts which may further aid the body by trans-dermal mineral absorption through the skin. Included within this category are Epsom Salt (Magnesium sulphate), Dead Sea Salts, Sodium bicarbonate, French Celtic Grey Sea Salt and Hydrogen Peroxide.
