Welcome to all of the new subscibers!
In the
last newsletter I wrote about detoxing your home through using better, safe alternatives to cleaning products.
It's also important to use only all natural personal skin care products.
Our skin is the largest organ in our body. It works as a self defense mechanism against harmful invaders to the body. It regulates the body's temperature, eliminates toxins and the nerve endings help sense touch, temperature, and pain.
There is a lot you can do to have beautiful glowing skin, from what you put in your body, such as eating super
healthy diet, to making sure you're getting plenty of protein, omega 3s, vitamin A, B, C and E.
Best foods for healthy skin: All organic as much as possible
- Avocados
- Apples
- Cucumber
- Millet
- Rye
- Rice bran
- Sprouts
- Barley juice
- Organic goat's milk
- Whey protein
- Carrot juice combined with celery and lemon
- Cucumber juice combined
with endives and pineapple
One very important thing for a gorgeous complexion is to avoid oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
Free radicals are found in:
- Chronic inflammation
- Toxins in the colon
- Exposure to heavy metals
- Over exposure to U.V Light
- Air pollution
- Cigarette smoke and...
- Chemicals in food, cosmetics and personal care
items!
Vitamins and minerals that combat oxidative stress are Vitamin C, E, selenium and zinc
Our skin absorbs whatever is put on it so it's important to never use products that contain any chemicals, parabens or perfumes, perfumes are chemicals.

There are so many wonderful alternatives to healthy skin care products. Many are found in health foods stores. I like to order online from Ontario from
Nature-Balance-Wellness in
Canada.
Of course the skin like the rest of your body loves fresh air, exercise and plenty of rest. Dry brushing the skin is also beneficial, more about that
in an upcoming ezine.
Follow the tips above to have a beautiful glowing complexion all year at any age!
