Skin Care Basics 99% of People Do Not Yet Know

Are you one of the few people who really know the answers to these simple yet very important questions regarding basic skin care?

Everyone knows their skin is their largest organ. It also is your thinnest and most delicate. It is approximately 1/10th of an inch thick and its most important function is to protect you from environmental toxins.

Since skin is also highly permeable, what you apply to your skin goes into your bloodstream. Shouldn’t you know the toxicity of what is hitting your skin and avoid adding toxins your system needs to defend against?

Here are some basic rules to think about everyday, every time you apply anything to or around your skin.

Rule #1:

Do not put anything on your skin you would not drink or eat.

Rule #2:

Do not put anything on your skin that contaminates it.

Rule #3:

Drink plenty of pure water and nutritive teas made with pure water.

Rule #4:

Drink only pure juices – preferably made yourself from organic fruits and vegetables . Avoid drinks with unnatural, chemical or sugar additives.

Rule #5:

Eat a healthy diet of mostly raw foods, foods high in omega-3 fatty acids helping hydrate from the inside out, antioxidants which help protect cells from aging, and other nutrients that promote cellular regeneration.

Rule #6:

Avoid putting hot water on your skin – it causes more harm than good. Although taking baths and showers may seem like it’s health-promoting and relaxing, your skin may disagree – especially if you have chlorinated or unnatural levels of metals or chemicals in your water, which is almost certainly the case if you are on a municipal water system or pumping contaminated ground water into your house. Advanced whole home water purification systems are well worth the money if you can afford such a luxury. If not use filters on taps and shower heads. Chlorine causes oxidative damage and chemicals in water cause over time untold problems. The hotter the water, the more potential for damage – because the rate of chemical reactions increases with temperature. Hot water likely accelerates skin aging.
