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.
