The good skin care regimen starts with you taking care of yourself from the inside. Eat fruits and vegetables and drink purified water. This will improve the moisture of your skin, as well as improving your general health. Moisture is what you need to make your skin firm and elastic.
Don’t forget to exercise or your skin will sag. Working your cardiovascular system and building muscle tone is important but do not forget to also exercise your insides. Tie Chi and Yoga squeeze you intestines, liver, and gallbladder. Tie Chi and Yoga are great for this; they move your insides around and work your organs together. Your insides feed you skin and if your insides are not healthy your skin will not be healthy.
Especially important is your intestines. Don’t eat meat, meat slows your digestion and makes it harder for your body to flush out toxins. Never eat hydrogenated oils like margarine. Don’t smoke, it turns your skin yellow. Stay away from alcohol. Alcohol makes the liver work when it should not have to. This keeps it from doing the job of removing toxins. Toxins build up and sit in your fat, organs and your skin.
Get an ample amount of vitamin A. The body requires vitamin A every day to preserve healthy skin. Lack of vitamin B2 may result in oily skin and hair, and premature wrinkles. Nutritional yeast and wheat germ are good places to get vitamin B2 in your diet. Vitamin E and vitamin C have antioxidant properties; they help in preventing skin damage.
Herbs for Your Skin Drink herbal teas made from red clover, dandelion root, burdock, and echinacea to clean the blood. All these herbs are found in extracts at your health food store. You can also get these herbs by the ounce at most health food stores. Red clover is better fresh, it makes a good ice tea just by itself. Goldenseal is a great internal cleanser but it does not make a good tea, it is better to take it in a capsule form.
Alfalfa is an herb that you can take every day for a lifetime. Alfalfa is nutritious and a cleanser that removes toxins from the body Alfalfa provides beta-carotene and vitamins C, E, and K. Alfalfa roots grow deep, they pick up high concentrations of nutrients not always found in the surface soils. This can supply the trace minerals that are lacking in most diets. Alfalfa sprouts are in groceries and salad bars or you can sprout your own. You can find alfalfa leaves and seeds in capsules or tables as well as the bulk powdered herb in most health food stores.
