Our beautiful skin
What INLIGHT can do for you
Our skin is more precious than we give it credit for, and here at Cemon Homeopathics it is our number one passion! As we go busily about our daily lives our skin is quietly getting on with:
• protecting our inner organs from germs, heat, cold, sunlight (& rain!)
• sending messages about touch, pressure and temperature to our brains
• discharging toxins from inside the body
• absorbing much of what we apply to it (both good and bad!)
• absorbing oxgyen (up to 5 litres a day both directly via the skin and through the blood)
The skin is also a no nonsense mirror revealing how well we really are. We can all recognise true beauty in a healthy, glowing skin, and we know that by eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of fresh water and thinking happy thoughts we feel and look healthier. Care, love and laugh as much as you can (and use our wonderful Organic Line Softener just in case of laughter lines!)’.
Just think! The skin is the largest organ of our body: the average adult has 21 square feet of skin (2 sq m) when stretched out, which weighs 7lb (3.2 kg) and has approximately 300 million skin cells.
Just think! On average each square half inch of skin contains:
10 hairs
15 sebaceous glands
100 sweat glands
3.2 feet (1m) of tiny blood vessels
Just think! Skin is thickest on the palms & soles (1.2mm to 4.7mm) and thinnest on the lips and around the eyes.
Just think! Facial skin is approximately 0.12mm thick and on the body is about 0.6mm.

Just think! assuming we apply only a daily 30g mixture of products such as shampoo, toothpaste, soap, body lotion, face cream, eye cream, make-up, lip salve, sun lotion etc, (and it is often a lot more!) and absorb only 10% of this through the skin, this means that over a year we will have applied 11kg of substances and absorbed 1.1kg!
The choice is yours – what would you rather apply?
Just think! some of the compounds in synthetic cosmetics widely used today can stay trapped in the fatty tissues under the skin and can remain there for years.
Just think! that the skin’s outer (hydrolipidic) layer not only protects the body from the elements but also from bacterial, viral and fungal infections
Just think! we have approximately 19,000,000 skin cells on every square inch of our body. (American Academy of Dermatology)
We have worked very hard at Cemon Homeopathics Ltd to give the skin a balanced diet of antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins, anthocyanins, essential fatty acids and so on.
The ingredients in each INLIGHT product have been especially chosen for their close affinity with the skin. This means they are warmly welcomed by it, easily absorbed and do not deplete the body of energy in the process. We don’t need to add any extras to our cosmethics, because the inherent properties of the carefully selected ingredients offer your skin all the essential nutrients it needs.
In contrast, synthetic cosmetics, seen by the body as foreign, require energy for absorption and absorption. INLIGHT cosmethics work not only ON but WITH the skin, cleansing, nourishing and supporting it in doing its job properly and looking its best.
Why is our skin important to the healing process?
In any natural process of healing symptoms will disappear starting from the inside and move out, as well as start at the top and work down, moving from the most important organs to the lesser. In the field of homeopathy it was Dr Constantine Hering who first recognised this, and we now call this Hering’s Law. In effect the skin is the final frontier, and for the healing process to be efficient and effective the skin must be in tip top condition. Toxins are much better out than in, so rather than clog the skin and push nasties back inside by covering up with synthetic creams, isn’t it better to feed the skin what it needs to keep it free and healthy, able to perform its detox task to the max, in turn helping to keep you toxin-free and healthy too?
