When we are ill, one of the first telltale signs is that our skin tends to be pale and doesn’t have its typical coloring. The same is true if we are eating a not-so-great diet. Pollution, heavy metals, dehydration, eating a non-organic diet, and many other things also contribute to less-than-ideal skin.
On the flip side, if we consume a whole food diet that includes fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, our skin will have a healthy, ageless glow. Gut health, and removing toxins is also important for healthy skin.
In this post we will explore several ideas that help to promote healthy skin to keep you looking young and vibrant. Let’s begin!
Diet Matters: Top Foods for Radiant Skin
Most of us are not lucky enough to have beautiful, glowing skin without putting in a little effort. Here are some of my top favorite foods to help your skin to GLOW:
- Leafy Greens
- Berries
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Nuts
- Dark Chocolate
- Cultured and Fermented Foods
- Culinary Herbs (Oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, and basil)
A Healthy Microbiome
Gut health can make all of the difference for glowing skin. If you have ever struggled with digestion, constipation, diarrhea, or other gut issues, it could be affecting how your skin glows.
Start healing your gut by first clearing out the bowels, the kidney's, the liver, and then the blood. Why is this important? Skin issues can be linked to poor function of the liver. If the liver isn't functioning well, it can lead to toxins being circulated in the blood stream. The blood can work to remove those toxins through the skin resulting in skin conditions ranging from eczema to acne. When you remove the toxins through the proper channels in the correct order (bowels, kidney's, liver, and blood), then you won't have toxins circulating throughout your body.
You can find out more about this type of cleansing in my Detox Book. This book goes through a 6 week program of resetting your elimination channels, clearing out toxins, and helping you to remove emotional and physical weight through diet and emotional healing techniques.
You can also learn more about using supplements to do a similar type of healing that can be used with the detox or on their own if you are not quite ready to jump into changing your diet. You can learn more about these supplements here.
Along with healing the microbiome, you can achieve your greatest glow with our oil-based skin cleansing system. This is a program designed to help your skin heal from the outside in.
We created an oil-based cleanser that allows you to remove dirt and makeup without removing the natural oils and microbiome on the surface of your skin.
We use dry brushing to naturally exfoliate your skin, to remove toxins through lymphatic drainage, and to stimulate cell growth and repair by increasing circulation and dead skin removal.
We have our Refreshing Toner to help retain moisture, and balance the pH levels on the skin, and our Renew Serum to heal and repair damaged skin cells.
This system was created to help your skin to GLOW. We guarantee it!
