The Inner Facial

I am sure you have heard the expression you are what you eat. We are learning more and more how true that statement is. It stands to reason since the body operates holistically and the skin is the body's largest organ, then what we ingest will have an affect on our skin. Therefore, in addition to taking good care
of your skin externally by using good skin care products, follow these simple suggestions, to achieve healthy glowing skin. ( For those of you with specific skin care concerns such as acne,
rosacea, eczema and aging I will give you further suggestions during your facial appointment.) This does not constitute a medical prescription or treatment. Please consult your physician before taking any of the suggested herbs/ vitamins.

• Drink plenty of water (I cannot stress this enough)
  
• Eat a healthy diet composed of fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrates
• Cut back on alcohol and caffeine (dehydrating)
  
• Do not consume processed foods
• Take Vitamin Supplements. They should contain beta carotene, A,B,C,E and zinc (especially for acne). Dry skin, acne, wrinkles and psoriasis, are just a few of the problems that can be helped with vitamins.
• Take Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids. Essential fatty acids are responsible for healthy cell membranes, and helps prevent moisture loss. It maybe useful in treating various skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, itching, redness of skin, and rashes.
  
• Drink Green Tea for it's anti-inflammatory properties as well as their may be some evidence that it helps prevent skin cancer.
