How to look after your skin

26/6/2019

​The skin is the body’s largest organ.  It protects us against the external environment, helps to regulate our temperature, eliminates toxins, is part of our immune protection, excretes waste materials and helps with the regulation and production of Vitamin D.  So all in all it has a pretty vital role in our life, but we don’t often think of it like that.
 
There are certain nutrients that are vital for healthy skin:
  • Vitamins A, C and E
  • Minerals – Zinc, Selenium
  • Collagen
  • Protein
  • Healthy fats
 
When our skin is lacking any of these vital skin nutrients it begins to loose it luster.  The skin becomes saggy, wrinkly, dry.
 
We often look to lotions and potions to put on the skin, the latest miracle cream to rejouvinate our skin, in all honesty the best way to look after your skin is like most other things, from the inside out.

  • Get your fruits and veggies in – lots of colour and variety will provide good sources of Vitamins and Minerals.
  • Healthy fats – this can be fish, avocado’s, coconut oils, linseed oil, evening primrose oil, sesame oil etc
  • Protein – most natural foods have some protein, lean sources of protein are best for overall health – fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds.
  • Herbs such as Horsetail, Nettle, Comfrey, Calendula and He Shou wu are wonderful natural sources of collagen
 
So the best way to look after your skin is to look after your diet .  No more thinking about calories!  Shift your focus to Nutrients!  Are you getting enough nutrients to be healthy?
