Tips for Healthy Skin: Connect with the Skin You're In

Our skin is our largest living organ, constantly depending on the care and nourishment we provide both externally and internally. Science now acknowledges the essential role of a healthy and balanced microbiome in our digestive system for overall well-being, and our skin is no exception. With its unique natural ecosystem of flora and nutrients, our skin thrives when kept balanced, supple, and protected. Maintaining a daily routine that involves keeping it clean, well-fed, nourished, and shielded from environmental stressors is key to supporting its health and vitality. Stay Hydrated ~ Internally and externally. Feed your gut-skin connection daily with skin-loving whole-foods including healthy proteins, natural fiber, omega-rich avocados, and activated nuts, micro-nutrient dense snacks such as fresh fruits, seeds, and greens.

Make the connection to what you put ‘on’ your skin. Look for clean, non-abrasive skin care. One tip for siphoning what is clean, and what is not, is to find out whether the formulation you are purchasing is ‘biodegradable’. Many skin care formulations that are not made from naturally derived ingredients will equally not be biodegradable once fed back to nature, so ask your skin care expert before your purchase, 'Is this formula biodegradable?' Be mindful of your intake of hydration depletion food and drink, including alcohol and caffeine. Commit to a sensible, regular skin care regime every day - morning and evening.
