Protect Your Skin From The Sun
90% of the aging your skin experiences is the direct result of your
sun exposure "history." Use sun block every day --- not just when
it is sunny. Always apply a sunscreen 30-40 minutes before exposure,
to allow to active ingredients to begin working. If you have a sun
allergy, use a block with Titanium Dioxide. The only thing more
aging to the skin than sun is cigarette smoke.
Drink Plenty of Water
Your skin needs lots of water to function properly as an excretory
organ. Avoid dehydrating beverages like sodas, coffee, tea, and
alcohol. Sip small amounts (3-4 ounces) at a time -- don't gulp
the proverbial "Eight Ounce Glass." Alas, de-mineralized skin can't
truly benefit from the water you drink. Once mineral salts are restored,
you'll notice a difference. (Cal Mag Supplemental is an ideal remineralizer.)
Cleanse Twice Daily
Your morning cleansings remove waste excreted during your skin's nocturnal self-cleansing process.
An evening cleaning ensures removal of dirt, oil, pollution and makeup. Don't over cleanse, and
always use toner to prevent dehydration from tap-water residue. (Picture the glass door in your
shower if you think that water leaves your skin "clean.") If you're very oily, you may benefit from
a light mid-day cleansing as well.
Don't Smother Your Skin With Moisturizer
Over moisturizing can lead to clogged pores and even sagging skin.
The correct formula in one that balances water and oil levels in
your skin. Moisturizing should make your face feel comfortable --
not taut and not over lubricated.
Feel Your Skin
If you are on a low-fat diet, make sure you get enough essential fatty acids (EFA's) or your skin can
become dull and dry. If you skin is acne prone, avoid iodized salt and sodium heavy foods, and switch
to organic dairy products and meats to avoid hormonal additives. Eruptive, red skin will be exacerbated
by spicy foods, and an intolerance for dairy products underlies many acne conditions that appear to be
"cystic." For skin prone to dilated capillaries, bioflavinoids (in C Complex) help strengthen vascular
tissue and reduce redness and bruising.
AVOID FRICTION AND EXCESSIVE HEAT. Over stimulation from scrubs
and hot water is a prime cause of dilated capillaries on the face.
Use warm water for cleansing and avoid washing your face in the
direct spray of a hot shower. Loofahs should never be used on the
face; a skin chamios is much gentler.
Don't Handle Your Face
"Picking" is a common nervous habit that leads to breakouts and
scarring. Continuous contact with a telephone receiver or your hands
will cause "acne mechanica."
Reduce Stress
Stress creates disease and ages the tissue of the body -- especially
the skin. Exercise, massage therapy, yoga, aromatherapy, breathwork
and meditation are highly effective against stress. Consult with
one of our body therapists for more information. It works wonders!!!
Get Adequate Sleep
Your skin will tell on you if you're sleep deprived or exhausted. Without adequate sleep, your body can't
restore and repair itself. Not only will you live longer, your skin will look better, too.
