3 Tips for Healthy, Flawless and Beautiful Skin

It’s the largest organ of our body and one of the most important parts of our of immune system. This built-in bodily feature protects us from the environment, helps to regulate our body temperature and eliminates wastes. Its color is unique and exclusive to each and every person. Yet, even with all its amazing capacities, this body part is regularly injured and often not properly cared for.

This incredibly important organ is our skin.

Skin is a taleteller. It exposes your life choices for everyone to see. Those who choose to smoke their entire life display wrinkles and dry skin that expose their choice. Others who baked in the sun have darkened leather-like skin to show for their years under the rays.

But, what about skin issues like eczema, psoriasis and acne? These skin conditions can be embarrassing and cause pain both psychologically and physically. Are these conditions a result of life choices?

The answer is most often is yes. Many times people who believe they are making good choices for their skin still fall victim to one of these conditions. They use the creams the doctor prescribed, but often go years, if not their whole life with flare-ups. This is because the cause of their skin issue is not truly being addressed. Remember, our skin is a taleteller. When these skin issues occur something is wrong underneath the surface.

The Inside/Outside Dynamic of Your Skin

I always say, “An outside problem is most often an inside problem.” Our skin reflects the condition inside our bodies. When something is out of balance inside our body, our skin lets us know. For example, allergic reactions can manifest as hives and viruses can cause rashes, warts and cold sores.

Though it is rarely addressed in the doctor’s office, conditions like eczema, psoriasis and acne have internal roots. I mention these conditions because they are the most common. However, many other skin conditions fall into this category, as well.

These internal causes are why topical creams only work temporarily, if at all. Most of these creams, in particular for eczema and psoriasis, work by suppressing the immune system. They may briefly suppress the outward manifestations of the immune system, but they don’t correct the typically overactive immune system underneath.

3 Tips for Healthy, Flawless and Beautiful Skin

1. Skin Care

• Choose natural skin-cleansing products that don’t strip your skin of its natural oils.
• Use a gentle cleanser and follow it with a toner and then a light moisturizer.
• Invest in good skin care products. This may seem costly at first, but it will save you thousands in trips to the dermatologist! Some of my favorite skin care lines include:
  • Hauschka
  • Devita
  • May Lindstrom
• Use a clay based mask 2-3 times per week. These masks help pull toxins out of your skin. I mix mine with Manuka honey, which adds moisture and antiseptic properties to the mask.
• Exfoliate with a scrub to get rid of dead skin cells, which can clog pores.

2. Naturally Glowing Skin Makeup

Chemicals that irritate the skin, clog pores and encourage breakouts are in most counter makeups. In my quest for clear skin, I have tried many all natural makeup lines. I personally believe that Gressa Skin has the best foundation formula to date. It contains 100% natural ingredients. Gressa Skin actually treats the skin in a serum base, which contains antiseptic and skin soothing oils.

My makeup bag also contains brands like:

• Burt’s Bees
• Mineral Fusion
• Hauschka
• Vapour
• Well People

These are lines recommended by celebrity makeup artists who use only all natural, organic based make-up on their famous clients.

3. What to Eat For Glowing Skin

Diet is one of the #1 factors for healthy skin. Avoiding sugar, excess carbohydrates, trans fats, and artificial ingredients can do wonders for your skin! What goes in your body has to come out! If you crash diet or eat highly processed foods, you skin won’t be as strong and supple as it could be. The toxins will come out of your pores and destroy your skin.

Instead, adopt a healthy, nutrient dense diet that is full of colorful fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins and minerals that your body can use to build beautiful, healthy skin. These fresh foods also fight the free radicals that break down collagen over time, so they help improve the quality of your skin.

Don’t forget to incorporate healthy fats like coconut oil into your diet as well! Foods high in natural fats help strengthen your skin. They lead to smoother, younger-looking skin with a visible reduction in inflammatory skin conditions like acne and psoriasis.

A healthy diet not only eliminates specific skin conditions like acne, but also slows down the visible signs of aging and prevents wrinkles! What you put in your mouth is as important as the products you apply on your skin. Eating the right types of foods is a great strategy for reducing and even eliminating ugly skin conditions.

Eczema, psoriasis and acne can be cured effectively with all natural alternatives. Using natural remedies for skin issues will not only clear your skin, but also increase your overall health and well-being. Healthy skin on the outside requires a healthy environment on the inside. When you take the proper steps towards healthy skin, you reduce inflammation, elimination channels work efficiently and you boost your immune system. Healthy dietary choices and lifestyle changes will revolutionize not only what you see on the outside, but the systems inside your body as well!

• Many researchers believe that toxicity in the body may cause, or at the very least increase the frequency of psoriasis outbreaks. To start the process of healing psoriasis from within, please follow these steps to cleanse your entire system—including the liver—of toxins.

You need a well-rounded approach to keep your skin healthy, clear, and free from irritations. This includes not only what you put on your skin, but also what you put inside your body. Let your skin tell the story of health, vitality, and youthfulness!

Toss out your chemical based skin care products and instead use moisturizers that are natural and mimic your skin’s innate oils.

Say “No” to sugar and artificial ingredients and “Yes” to fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats that nourish the skin and promote healing.

Last, but not least, support your body with cleansing herbs to flush toxins out. This will keep your skin clear, calm and radiant! Take these steps and your skin will truly speak beautiful for itself.
