Skin-Saving Secrets |
|
|
|
Welcome... We
hope you enjoy this article. Keep in mind, it was written
mainly for people with acne, but there are many tips that
absolutely apply to other skin conditions like wrinkles,
puffiness, discoloration, and much more... These suggestions
can truly transform your skin into the soft, smooth, clear
complexion you've always wanted... Pass it on... |
|
|
|
|
|
1) APPLE CIDER
VINEGAR AND FACIAL MASKS. |
|
|
|
Once in a while, instead of using soap, moisturizer and/or
toner, mix about 2-3 cups of distilled water with a 1/2 cup of
raw, organic, unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar. You can buy
this at any health store and it is very cheap. Apple Cider
Vinegar is extremely anti-bacterial, alkalizing and soothing
to the skin. You could also use our mud mask: If you
use clays, make sure they are pure and mix them with Apple
Cider Vinegar instead of water. This is a very deep cleanse
and nourishing to the skin. Also, consider taking saunas,
steam baths, or at home- very hot baths with the door closed
and the heat turned on very hot. Throw some mineral salts or
seaweed into the water. You will sweat out a lot of toxins
and feel great. Afterward, cool off with a shower, and splash
on some watered down Apple Cider Vinegar. You will look and
feel fantastic.

2) EXFOLIATE
DEAD SKIN CELLS. |
|
|
|
Use a small, soft loofah sponge to
exfoliate all the dead skin cells and dirt which clog pores.
Washing with just your hands may not be enough, because you
will not scrub away some of the dirt and dead skin cells that
can clog your pores. Scrub very softly with warm water and
your face soap.
|
|
|
|
3) RAW
GARLIC- NATURE'S MOST POTENT HERB. |
|
|
|
Here's one you probably haven't
heard before, so keep an open mind. Get ready for garlic.
Only the real thing will work for you - not pills. This
means, organic and raw. Put at least 3 cloves in a blender
with juice and drink it down. It will make the drink a little
spicy, that's all. Here's what it will do for you and your
skin. Garlic is the best, most effective broad spectrum
anti-biotic, anti-viral, anti-fungal herb known. It kills all
the bad guys without harming any of the good guys. In fact,
in laboratory tests, it has been diluted to 1 part in125,000
and still killed bacteria. So, yes, it's great if you get sick
or have a virus of any kind. It's great for your heart and
blood- whole books have been written about it, but remember,
it must be raw. Your skin will have a real tough time
breaking out if you have some raw garlic in your system. Just
brush your teeth, drink some mouthwash, and drink up.
|
|
|
|
4)
DRINK LOTS OF CLEAN WATER. |
|
|
|
Distilled is the purest water
available. Drinking water throughout the day will keep your
body effectively flushing toxins through your kidneys instead
of your skin. Remember, your body is about 70% water and if
your cells get dehydrated, they will not be able to function
well. You must have an abundance of water to perform every
task the body requires which of course includes repairing
damaged cells which will help your skin heal and keep it
healthy.
|
|
|
|
5) DO
NOT OVER-WASH YOUR FACE. |
|
|
|
This is the hardest thing in the
world to do if you're broken out. But, if you're skin is very
dry then your body will over-produce oils to replenish your
overly-dried skin thereby causing acne. This becomes a
vicious cycle whereby you have to wash your face to keep it
clean, but washing too much can actually cause you to break
out! It is very important to promote the natural balance of
your skin by not washing more than twice a day and also using
moisturizers and toners that don't clog pores.
|
|
|
|
6) YOUR
SKIN IS BEGGING FOR NUTRIENTS. |
|
|
|
Make sure you are getting all the
nutrients your skin needs to stay healthy. It is vitally
important you are eating and drinking NATURAL NUTRIENTS all
day long. An obvious one is Vitamin E- a great source for
this is Unrefined Wheat Germ Oil (about 220% RDA of Vitamin E
per serving) which you can get at any health food store.

Superfood
and/or
Vitamineral Green.

|
|
7)
CLEAN OUT OLD WASTE. |
|
|
|
Once you start eating better and
giving your body what it is begging for on a daily basis, you
will start to feel and look much better. It is also vitally
important, however, that you also clean yourself out so all of
the toxins stuck in your body go out through your colon
instead of your skin. Begin by doing
Intestinal Correction Formula #1 and, if
possible,
Intestinal Corrective Formula #2. This will get you
going to the bathroom 2-3 times a day and clean out your colon
as well. If you don't use these formulas, USE SOMETHING with
as much quality, safety, and value. Eat a lot more fiber as
this will keep your colon clean and greatly increase your
body's ability to eliminate toxins. This doesn't just mean a
bran muffin in the morning or "whole wheat" bread. Sorry,
that just won't cut it. You need to eat a lot more whole
grains (wild rice, brown rice, millet, quinoa), fresh fruits
(blueberries, dates, figs, etc...), fresh raw vegetables
chewed well, beans (not re-fried or with lard), and nuts (raw,
unsalted).

|
8) Get
a good shower filter (about $25). |
|
|
|
Filters will take out the
chlorine, fluoride, copper, pathogens, viruses, dirt, and
other horrible pollutants. Studies show that a ten-minute
shower is the equivalent to drinking 8 glasses of tap
water! Remember, you're trying to clean your skin and hair.
The last thing you want to do is add in more toxins that will
age your skin, dry your hair, and make you break out. Use warm
water when washing your face and cool water to soap off.
|
|
|
|
9) CUT
OUT THE SUGAR. |
|
|
|
Some Researchers call acne
"Diabetes of the skin," meaning your body has great difficulty
digesting sugar. Cut way down on sugar for a week or two and
see if there's any effect. This includes soft drinks and
every other food that contains a high quantity of sugar.
|
|
|
|
10)
CUT OUT THE JUNK. |
|
|
|
You're going to hate this one, but
you should also attempt to cut way down on all of the toxins
you consume everyday in the form of processed foods, caffeine,
tobacco, alcohol, cheese, chocolate, cream, eggs, fried foods,
hydrogenated oils, margarine, fish, meat, poultry, and
butter. This may seem totally extreme and I'm not suggesting
you never have any of these things again, but I am saying all
of these foods are laced with antibiotics, poisons, chemicals,
insecticides, herbicides, toxins etc.... Eat with awareness
and sensitivity so that you know what your body and skin react
to the worst.

|
|
|
11) Get
an Aloe Vera plant. |
|
|
|
(about $5) or second best: pure,
organic Aloe Vera gel. If you have any scars or red marks,
break off a small piece, break open the leaf and apply it
everyday. Guys, when done shaving, rub the gel on your neck
and tender spots or cuts. Ladies, same goes for your legs.
Aloe Vera has been used for thousands of years and has been
called a "miracle plant" for its healing properties. Watch
razor burn diminish and cuts heal quickly without any
scarring. Scars will literally fade and disappear. I believe
that a growing plant is much more powerful than a bottled gel,
simply because it's alive and therefore will have more potent
properties.

|
|
|
12) USE
ALL-NATURAL SKIN-CARE PRODUCTS. |
|
|
|
Use skin-care products that don't
create free radicals and attack your body with more toxins.
Use products that will nourish, protect, and clean your skin
with nutrients without causing irritation, dryness, acne, or
any of the other serious problems associated with almost all
commercial skin-care products. See:

13)
Get the
Derma Wand plain and simple. |
|
|
|

puffiness, discoloration, and almost every other skin
problem. It is so much better than any Acne medication. It

14)
Wash Your Pillowcase (s) and towels frequently. |
|
|
|
There is a tremendous build up of
dirt and oils from your hair and skin. Anything that touches
your face should be clean and fresh.
|
|
|
|
15)
STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE. |
|
|
|
This may seem painfully obvious,
but if you become aware of how much you touch your face during
the day with dirty hands, you will be surprised. You will
find acne developing wherever you scratch, rest your hands or
play with your face. Watch carefully during the day.
