Our skin often tells the story as to what is going on inside our bodies. Imbalances of the gut always come through our skin and scalp first. From dandruff or Sebborheic Dermatitis to acne, what we put inside our bodies matters more than what we put on our skin. Eating a healthy diet that consists of mostly raw fruits and vegetables and high in Omega 3’s can help hydrate the skin from the inside can help fight signs of aging, such as age spots and wrinkling.

CLEAN PRODUCTS

While eating healthy is key, do be careful on what type of products you do put on your skin.  Because our skin is very thin, it takes up to 30 seconds for skin care products to be absorbed into our bloodstream and then to the liver. Many products actually clog pores instead of helping them and quite of a few of the chemicals are considered carcinogenic.  
Finding skin care products that are free of parfums, parabens, mineral oil, dioxane, sodium laurel sulfate, toluene, and propylene glycol can help keep your insides free of these chemicals as well.
