Healthy Skin Care and Clean Living Go Hand-in-Hand
It may seem somewhat cliché to say that healthy skin care and clean living go hand-in-hand. Between the blog sites, endless stream of self-help books, and a relentless parade of experts claiming to have the best solution for what ails us-the connection between a healthy, balanced diet and healthy, smooth skin is undeniable. However, our bodies are constantly assaulted by an endless array of toxins from our air, water, and food which deteriorate our bodies and render even the best skin care products utterly useless. To end skin care problems with dryness, excess oil, or even acne-you must begin by removing toxins from your diet and immediate environment.
The best advice for skin care detoxification is to start with the diet. There are a number of potential toxins in the food we ingest, including:
- Fried foods (especially if made with trans fats or saturated fats)
- Caffeinated products
- Alcohol
- Refined sugars
- Processed foods (any "fast food" or "junk food")
Any of these potential toxins will cause the body to produce free radicals which are known to cause cell damage and increase the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and dryness. What you want to consume are foods rich in antioxidants because they help neutralize free radicals and halt or slow the signs of aging. Some botanical sources of antioxidants include:
- Pine bark
- Pomegranate fruit
- Grape seeds
- Bilberry
- Acai fruit
In truth, these are probably not the most appealing of foods which is why you may want to consider skin care remedies made with essential oils enriched with antioxidants. The essential oils are a group of organic extracts derived from the following organic sources and found in many of the top skin care remedies on the market:
- Roots
- Herbs
- Flowers
- Trees
- Seeds
While there are over 150 essential oils, not all are recommended in a [skin care guide] because they all have unique medicinal properties. Thus, while some have antioxidants and will help eradicate free radicals and remove toxins, others will contain deep penetrating emollients that act as natural antiseptics. Some of the most useful essential oils to look for when making your next skin care buy include:
- Eucalyptus oil
- Avocado oil
- Almond oil
- Camphor oil
A compliment to any great skin care regimen and diet is drinking plenty of water. Proper hydration helps remove toxins, keep the skin hydrated, and perform all of its vital functions. Proper and simple skin care means drinking at least ½ ounce of water for every pound of body weight if you lead a rather relaxed lifestyle-and up to 2/3 of an ounce of water if leading a more active and athletic life.
Be especially careful to avoid any skin care systems that rely upon advanced synthetic ingredients because they are more likely to increase free radical numbers and cause further health complications. Remember, healthy skin care and clean living go hand-in-hand so be sure to control toxin intake wherever possible.
