Do you want to have beautiful, healthy, glowing skin? Skin that is smooth, clear of blemishes and even in color?
Here’s the truth… First, you have to accept there is a no magic pill. Second, it takes making the appointment ahead of time so it actually happens. If you want beautiful healthy skin, it takes a little dedication like getting in for regular treatments as best as possible, using the right products, and most importantly a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Beautiful skin comes mostly from the inside. (Genetics is only a small part of the puzzle…bummer!) So, HOW do we do this? For starters, eating nutritious foods, staying hydrated, getting good rest, reducing stress and ELIMINATING TOXINS!
It doesn’t matter if you have acne, hyperpigmentation, or wrinkles, eliminating toxins improves all skin issues and helps us age slower (think less wrinkles & sagging)! Who doesn’t want that?
It is never too late to get started!
Eliminating toxins is the first step in detoxifying your body and creating healthy beautiful skin. Exposure to toxins is everywhere – in the air, water, soil, food and consumer products. Environmental toxins are both man-made and naturally occurring chemicals that are harmful to your health.
Toxins get into your home and into your body often under the assumption products are safe. Toxins occur in non-organic foods, non-filtered water, microwaving, cleaning products, chlorine bleach, antibacterial soap, beauty products, paint, building supplies, chemicals, carpet, candles, dry cleaning and home air fresheners, to name a few.
We are slowly being poisoned and most of us are oblivious or think it is no big deal. Not only do we have to worry about outside toxins, even our own bodies excrete harmful endotoxins due to bad bacteria in our system that can disrupt healthy skin.
While some toxic products and byproducts create immediate reactions, others are seemingly harmless. But, ongoing exposure to these poisons over time creates a toxic burden on our bodies. Instead of the body eliminating toxins naturally, they can get stored in our fat cells and tissues in an attempt to protect our vital organs from damage. There comes a tipping point where an array of negative side effects triggers a domino effect that can manifest into serious health problems and skin issues.
There are five main organs involved in the detoxification or elimination process, including the lungs, liver, kidneys, intestines and skin. If our bodies are to survive this environment, these organs must work together seamlessly.
The skin is the largest organ in our body that protects us from the outside world. It is also an eliminatory organ with sweat glands to flush out toxins and excess minerals from the body. When any one the organs involved in detoxification aren’t working properly, it can cause an excess build-up of toxins in the body showing up in the form of itching, dry/oily skin, hyperpigmentation, fine lines wrinkles, acne, eczema or other skin rashes, including rosacea and psoriasis.
