Beauty starts within

When caring for your skin it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes a good diet full of fiber and "live" foods. Also, drink plenty of water and detox when needed.

I have a few more tips below that can help clear up skin breakouts naturally.

First steps to take: 

Get educated

Many of my clients come to me with all sorts of skin disorders from eczema, acne and rashes to serious conditions steaming from other health issues. My first goal is to educate people to think about getting to the root of the problem. This includes dealing with the body internally instead of applying topical creams. Although people do get results from using certain products but most times it is only temporary until they deal with the main issues that are causing breakouts. They need to consider their diet. I always recommend eating right for your blood type. (See the book about blood type diet below in the Amazon section.)

Reasons for breakouts: 

- Hormone imbalance
- Bad diet
- Improper skin care
- Not drinking enough water
- Health issues connected with diseases and disorders that affect the skin
- Side effects of medications
- Allergies
- Clogged colon
- Dirty blood

Here is a list of conditions many people contact me about:

Acne
Psoriasis
Eczema
Extreme rashes

Beauty starts within: 

Diet and detoxing (liver)

Juicing

Drinking enough water every day

The benefits of a good herbal colon cleanse: 

A colon cleanse can help you to rid the toxins, waste and parasites that build up in the system from poor diet and exposure to toxins. An herbal colon cleanse program that includes herbs to detox the liver is best.

Avoid:

Stress
Too much chocolate
Greasy foods

    Isn't it interesting that teenagers and young adults can seem to have skin with issues and they resolve themselves as they get older? A better diet, more sleep, more healthy regimes?
