SKIN TIPS
 
 
 
 
 
  1. •Drink plenty of clean filtered water, 6-8 glasses a day. Water keeps your skin hydrated and aids in eliminating toxins through the kidneys and colon.
  2. •Eat lots of fiber in your diet. Your plate should look like a rainbow with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables daily – raw and cooked preferably. These foods keep the intestinal tract regular and are full of rich antioxidants (which help slow down cellular aging).
  3. •Add essential fatty acids to your diet, these are the good fats that are so vital for healthy skin. You can get these EFAs from whole grains, seeds, nuts, soybeans, dark leafy green vegetables, cold-pressed oils (flax, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and safflower to name a few). Oily fish such as sardines, mackerel and wild (not farmed) salmon also contain EFAs.
  4. •Upon rising start your day with a glass of warm water and fresh squeezed lemon juice.
  5. •Avoid excessive amounts of caffeine or alcohol which can dehydrate the moisture from your body.
  6. •Watch your salt intake because it can lead to skin puffiness and swelling. Try using celery seeds or sea vegetables flakes instead.
  7. •Reduce foods that clog and that are inflammatory. The worst are red meat, dairy, refined foods, sugar, fried foods, and especially foods that contain hydrogenated oils or fats.
  8. •Cleanse, moisturize, and protect the skin from environmental stresses such as sun and cold weather.
  9. •Have at least 35 minutes of cardiovascular exercise each day, such as brisk walking.
  10. •Change your pillowcase every other day to keep absorbed facial oils from clogging the skin. The same for your own facial towels. Also, get a good night’s sleep!
 
DID YOU KNOW ....
That we absorb nutrients through our skin?
The skin is the largest organ of our body. It is also the last organ to be nourished, because it is furthest away from the digestive tract. So it’s important to give our skin good nourishment from both inside and out.
