What is Your Skin Eating?

The appearance of flawless skin depends on what’s happening on the inside of your body as well as what you use on top of your skin. Are you eating processed foods, BGH and tons of sugar every day? Are you drinking pure water or sodas? Have you eaten any greens lately?

Are you putting toxic chemicals on and in your skin, in hopes to look and feel younger? You may be happy to toss your old makeup, scrubs, cleansers and toners out the window after you read this. Did you know-most blackheads, whiteheads, blemishes, rashes and dryness can be prevented?

Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It is also the secondary organ for elimination of toxins - coming second after the lungs, but before the liver, colon or kidneys. It is a recognized fact today, that our body absorbs significant amounts of what we put on our skin within 15 seconds. With that said -if you put toxins on your skin-they are absorbed in your skin and absorbed in your organs. Only 11% of the 10,500 synthetic chemicals used in the cosmetics industry have been tested for safety. Even more alarming, it is perfectly legal to use these same toxic chemicals in the personal care products that millions of people use every day.

WHAT ARE FALSE TERMS-The term Hypo-Allergenic; is a marketing term. It has very little substance as far as the safety of a product is conce ed. The term "Natural" in skin care means absolutely nothing. The term smart is anything but!

Instead of terms, I teach clients how to read labels.

SUNSCREENS DELETE VITAMIN D-Sunscreens as we know now-do absorb into the skin along with lotion and oils alike: From the University of Califo ia epidemiologist Cedric and Frank Garland believe that the increased use of Chemical sunscreens since the mid -1970s is the primary cause of the current "skin cancer epidemic" because of petroleum.

Reminder read your labels- check your sunscreen for petroleum ingredients and discard old sunscreens.

POOR DIET=POOR SKIN HEALTH- unhealthy food ingredients like processed foods, MSG, refined sugar, HFCS, bovine growth hormones (inside meats and dairy) and drinking pure water can go a long way toward improving the condition of your skin. Hydration can make all the difference in the search for clear skin.

With Certified Organic Foods rapidly becoming the nutrition of choice by those conce ed with their inner health, why would you accept any less for your skin?

After years of research I recommend some of the highest integrity products for the skin including: Buy organic skin care for the health of your skin and the rest of your organs will thank you.
