Why Skin Care Begins With Internal Health
“Patients may not want to invest in their health, but most will want to look good and will invest in their skin.”
If there is one market that continues to “stay hot,” it’s beauty products, particularly skin care. I am amazed at the prices of all the skin care products and treatments. Patients may not want to invest in their health, but most will want to look good and will invest in their skin.
I will share a great topical face cleansing, revitalizing procedure in a minute, but first let me remind you of a few basics.
As you know, the skin is our largest eliminative organ. Our lungs, bowel, and urinary tract get the most attention, but the skin has the most surface area. So right off the bat, we want to make sure the other eliminative organs are working properly, and the skin is not burdened with eliminating their waste.
Nutrition, Hydration, and Exercise: Foundations of Healthy Skin
Beyond keeping the skin hydrated, we want to ensure that our kidneys receive at least 8 glasses of pure water a day to flush toxins. By the same token, we want to eat sufficient levels of fiber—my personal goal is 10 servings of fruits and vegetables (mostly vegetables) every day—to feed my microbiome. And of course, for the lungs, enough regular exercise to stimulate deep breathing.
That’s one reason why, when someone goes through the Nutri-Clear Plus Cleanse and the Metabolic Biome program, one of the comments we hear consistently is, “My skin feels softer and healthier.” These programs open the eliminative organs and take the load off the skin.
All toxins cause oxidation and create free radicals, and free radicals are a significant contributor to aging of all kinds. Sadly, we easily notice the aging that is occurring on our skin. I say these things to remind you that healthy skin comes from within.
A Two-Step Skin Care Routine for Healthier-Looking Skin
Let me share a two-step (2) process that she uses on her face every morning after a brisk workout:
Step 1
Apply about 7 or 8 drops of a low-dose Vitamin E, as in Bio-E-Mulsion Forte, on your face as a base to combat oxidation and free radicals. We are talking about a “low dose”; 5 drops yield 20 mg of vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol acetate.
It is an oil-in-water emulsion form and is less than 500 microns in size in a sesame seed oil base. The size is important because, since the particles are so small, they can enter the epidermis of the skin and share their antioxidant, anti-aging properties. Also, you may “spend about a minute to rub Bio-E-Mulsion Forte briskly into the skin, stimulating circulation.” Because it has an oil base, add a few drops of water as you massage your face. I think of the first step as support for the inner layers of the skin.
Step 2
Apply about 6–10 drops of FS 20 Hemp Extract on areas of the face and massage thoroughly. Her skin looks so good, she doesn’t use makeup. However, she shared that once the oil is absorbed into the skin, it should provide a good base for those who choose to wear makeup. If it becomes a problem, you can use the products before sleep.
The FS in the Hemp oil product stands for “full spectrum.” FS 20 Hemp oil comes exclusively from hemp flowers and contains over 110 cannabinoids, 120 terpenes, and multiple flavonoids found in hemp flower extracts.
That is in addition to CBD, the cannabinoid we hear so much about. By the way, there is a big difference between hemp oil that comes from the seeds, leaves, and stems and hemp oil that comes from the flower. Hemp seed oil from flowers has an impressive omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of around 3:1 and contains anywhere from 2–4% GLA.
Natural Remedies for Skin Issues Beyond Daily Care
As long as I am talking about skin issues, several clinicians have shared with me that “rubbing Bio-D-Mulsion on inflamed or infected areas of the skin can be an effective topical therapy to heal dry patches, many types of dermatitis, and even warts.” They recommend using these methods for natural skin healing support.
However, always ask your Primary Physician as well as your Wellness Practitioner’s advice—ALWAYS.
