Beautiful Skin
by John Russell
Skin is one of the first parts of the body to show problems from toxins. The
body essentially sees the skin as not as essential as other key organs like the
heart and lungs.
The body, unfortunately, diverts nutrients from the skin to the
key organs to keep them as healthy as possible. This fact is problematic for the
look and texture of our skin because the skin relies totally on nutrients for
its health --- which is a mirror for how our skin appears. Toxins attack
nutrient stores and when sufficient quantities are not available for the entire
body, the skin suffers.
Major causes of toxins which should be reduced or eliminated to preserve
healthy, natural reserves of nutrients are the following:
1. SMOKING Probably the worst toxin for healthy skin is smoking, because it
severely constricts blood vessels that cause smokers to have a discolored
complexion. The nutrients can only be delivered to the skin with a healthy
delivery system, which is compromised by smoking because it constricts
circulation, cutting off an adequate supply of the nutrients and oxygen needed.
It’s been conclusively shown that smokers in their 40’s have the same amount of
wrinkles as non-smokers who are 20 years older. The Nagoya City University
Medical School in Japan has demonstrated smoking increases levels in the body of
an enzyme that acts to break down collagen – which is the fiber that keeps the
skin firm.
2. ALCOHOL Another toxin that causes major problems with healthy skin is alcohol
in that it actually alters the shape of red blood cells that reduce the amount
of oxygen traveling through the system. It, like smoking, increases an enzyme
that attacks collagen and, particularly, the elasticity of our skin.
3. STRESS Unique hormones are driven by high stress levels that wipe-out the B
vitamins circulatory systems need to create healthy red blood cells. Stress
drives dull looking skin because of the lack of adequate vitamin B.
4. SUNLIGHT The real toxic enemy when it comes to our skin is the sun.
Dermatologists have presented a position that if we didn’t expose our skin to
the sun, wrinkles would not appear naturally until the 60’s. The problem with
sunlight is it allows high levels of free radicals to be formed in the skin that
attack the collagen and elastic fibers. Too much sunlight over time thickens the
upper layers of the skin, which create a dull, shallow appearance.
Detoxing your skin (and hair) against the four above issues is a matter of
significantly reducing or actually eliminating these toxins. If it is difficult
or improbable that they can be significantly reduced, steps can be taken to
augment nutritional stores and use all-natural premium skin care products to
overcome the affect of toxins.
A good multi-vitamin tablet, such as Complete
Essentials for Women, can be obtained from IH Distribution LLC and should be
augmented with Defense Builder Antioxidant. If oily skin is present, an oil-free
cleanser, such as Bio-Matte, is invaluable. Balm mint, ivy, lavender, and mallow
provide soothing anti-inflammatory action and actually condition the skin on
contact. If toxins are constantly present, a product such as Rejuvenating Cream,
also available from IH Distribution LLC, will create a healthier, younger
appearance with a proprietary blend of vitamin E and naturally occurring amino
acids.
The unique combination of botanicals softens the look of lines and
repairs and returns the skin to a normal, moisture-rich state. A good masque,
such as the unique Thermal Fusion Enzyme Masque, improves skin texture, clarity,
and firmness. It’s a natural, safe non-abrasive alternative to a harsh chemical
peel. It gets beneath the surface of the skin to clean and exfoliate without
harming healthy cells.
