Eat your way to beautiful skin
Friday, October 9th, 2009Great skin start with a good clean diet. Eating potassium rich foods, leafy greens, bell peppers, bananas, brocolli, sunflower seeds, fish and sea greens, will help improve clarity and texture to your skin. Also, yogurt, tofu, and kefir helps balance skin pH. Healthy skin contains 50% to 75% water. So, get those recycable water bottles out and start drinking 6 -8 glasses of water everyday. Eliminating red meats, fried and fatty fast foods out your diet will help improve your mood, your energy level and your complexion. Using a balancing mask once a week will help exfoliate the skin leaving it smooth and refreshed. Here are a few home remedies to get you started:
- Smooth a blend of aloe vera gel and vitamin E oil on to your face using circular motion, gently moving the fingers upward toward the temples.
- Swirl 3 tbs of honey in your bath water for silky skin. Apply a body lotion after your shower before your dry off.
- Get 20 minutes of early morning sunlight our skin loves vitamin D.
Remember to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate for a radiant complexion. B’Tyli Natural Skin Therapies has a wonderful Brown Sugar Scrub and for cellulite try their Coffee Shea Butter Scrub. http://www.btyliskintherapies.com/
