Healthy Skin - From the Inside Out!
Your skin is an external reflection, visible to everyone, of how your
body is functioning internally. Due to the intimate relationship between the
skin and the rest of the body, treating skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis,
acne and rosacea is complex and it can be difficult to achieve lasting results,
especially if you don’t seek professional help. Furthermore some of these
conditions can be painful, itchy, irritating and greatly effect
self-confidence. It can be a frustrating and challenging road to finding
effective and sustainable ways to improve the health and appearance of your
skin. A healthcare practitioner can help you find solutions to regain, vibrant,
healthy skin with treatments that work from the inside out.
The ‘Ins’ and ‘Outs’ of Poor Skin
Healthy radiant skin relies on your body and internal organs being
healthy and functioning well. There are many functions of the body that, if not
working properly, can contribute to poor skin. These may include:
· Ineffective clearance of toxins or metabolic wastes via the digestive
tract and/or the liver
·
Poor immune
function and inflammation
·
Poorly managed
stress
·
Sluggish
circulation and lymphatic flow
·
Poor dietary
habits
·
Poor personal
hygiene
·
Hormonal
fluctuations e.g. skin conditions that worsen pre-menstrually
·
Nutritional
deficiencies
Lifestyle is part of the Prescription
There are changes that you can make to your daily diet and lifestyle to
help you on your way to better skin:
·
You
are what you eat: So eat well!! A healthy, well-balanced diet is
essential for skin health and your Practitioner can provide you with dietary
advice specific to your skin condition.
·
Be
active: Exercise helps increase blood flow to the skin, and
encourages the removal of toxins through sweat; so make daily exercise a part
of your skin health program today!
·
Aim
for better stress management: Stress can increase inflammation and affect digestive
and immune function, all of which are contributing factors to poor skin health.
·
Brush
your skin: Dry skin brushing prior to your morning shower is a
simple technique to stimulate lymphatic circulation, helping your body clear
the build-up of toxins that can aggravate skin conditions.
·
Wash your skin with pH-controlled gels: Humans
are covered in a diverse wardrobe of skin microbes, many of which promote skin
health. Washing too frequently or using alkalising soaps can remove some of
these beneficial microbes from the surface of your skin, allowing pathogenic
organisms to cause infection.
·
Support
yourself with supplements: Your Practitioner can recommend a personalised
supplement regimen to boost your health status and address the causes of your
skin ailment.
·
Treat
yourself topically: Whilst a healthy body is essential for achieving the
healthiest skin possible, topical treatments prescribed by your Practitioner
may help to provide rapid, symptomatic relief.
Healing Goodness from Nature’s Dispensary
There are specific nutrients
involved in keeping skin healthy, and addressing nutritional deficiencies is a
good place to start in any skin condition.
Essential fatty acids - found in fish oil play a critical role in promoting healthy skin. They help to regulate healthy cellular function, and maintain elasticity and suppleness of the skin. Essential fatty acids also help to reduce inflammation. Taking a potent, high quality fish oil can improve your skin health by improving hydration, elasticity and reducing inflammation. As a result, skin has an improved texture and tone leaving it looking and feeling noticeably healthier.
Zinc - is an important mineral for skin health. Zinc repairs damaged tissues and helps heal wounds. As a result, if you don’t have enough zinc, then your ability to repair damaged skin becomes impaired. Zinc deficiency can also result in your immune system having poor control over the maintenance of your skin.

The Wellness Review
I will agree on the paragraph that your skin needs pampering sometimes to activate the natural collagen in your skin and avoiding nutritional deficiencies such as zinc deficiency that makes you look old and stressful for your entire body's skin.

I agree that vitamins can help us maintain healthy and younger looking skin, but also always remember to exercise, eat proper diet and take supplements like the one i am taking for years - astaxanthin.
ReplyDeleteDrinking a good amount of water and living a stress free life are just few ways to achieve healthy and youthful skin. get to know beststretchmarkcream.co
ReplyDeleteExfoliate your skin daily. Scrub away the dirt, pollutants, chemicals and toxins that get lodged in your skin – day after day. If you want a natural scrub then all you have to do is add white sugar grains to your favorite body wash. Of course, you will have to efficiently wash away and scrub off the sugar’s sticky feel. useful ageexperts website

I have been trying to balance my hormones for 2.5 yrs with a naturopath but my acne (mainly either side of my chin and now my neck) wont clear up no matter what I do. I eat extremely clean and take supplements for hormones and nothing works.
