Skincare
Did you know... the skin breathes + it is your largest organ
Food & your skin:
- gluten is a health gremlin/devil
- omega 3's calm inflammation and cramps,
-omega 6's cause inflammation, acne, and cramps bc of their shard-like nature passing thru the body tissues
- sugar, alcohol, caffeine, corn, soy, omega 6 fat are all very inflammatory to guts and skin (connective tissue cells)
- celery juice has been said to help inflamed skin and clear lymph tissue. so has
- lemon juice / lemon water
Acne + Inflamed skin
-
caffeine is a NO for healing acne and skin conditions ….
-
gentle non acne products actually work best to heal acne, as acne products are very harsh with over-drying chemicals
-
consistency is EVERYTHING with acne prone skin when it comes to skincare (+ diet). develop a routine that works for you AND that you can maintain
-
the simpler and gentler of a routine you can have the better! (think cave man)
Sulfur soap- can treat acne, fungus, rashes (Inexpensive and nice to have handy, yay!) but be careful of overdrying
Get sun time! A weekend at the beach swimming in the salt water and away from the stress of home can do amazing magic to transform your skin (+ outlook) in record time… its all about getting the natural elements back into the body. So, use them as your tools to heal for free - gifts from the abundant, ever so wise and incredible mother nature. Switch up your environment for a big revitalizing reset and boost!
