As many of us are becoming more aware of the importance of having healthy skin for our overall well being, we begin to start focusing more on what we are putting on our skin using natural skin care products. We are becoming more informed and educated on the subtle dangers of most synthetic ingredients we find in many of the products we use and consume on a daily basis, which is great, but let us not forget that the foods we eat also effect the condition of our skin. I have previously posted on the importance of drinking plenty of water, and to get plenty of foods with vitamin A and omega 3’s. Here are some foods you should avoid for wanting to maintain healthier looking skin.
Anything that will make your liver overworked such as alcohol will contribute to unhealthy skin. Just like the liver your skin also is an organ and in fact is the largest organ of the body, and these two organs are at constant work eliminating toxins from the body.
Avoiding junk food will also help contribute to healthier looking skin drastically. Sure those chips, candy bars and soda pops are so good, but they are loaded with synthetic ingredients that hold absolutely no nutritional value, and not only could they cause damage to your heart and stomach but to your skin as well. If you, or someone you know is suffering from bad acne, experiment with eliminating all junk food and drinking nothing but water for a week or two and see if there is any difference.
I can go on all day long listing foods that are not good for you; basically anything that has refined flower, sugars, additives are not good for your skin. The sugars are the most aging toxins that age the skin by fluctuating blood glucose levels. Bottom line is listening to your body. These foods may taste great at first but how do you feel afterward s, and how do you feel after you have eaten a very healthy meal. Using skin care products such as goat milk soaps and bathing in homemade bath salts indeed contribute to healthier skin, but what you eat also plays a big factor as well.

It’s that time of the year again that gym’s across the world see huge increases in memberships, as people vow to a New Year’s resolution for getting themselves in shape. Gym owners say that their packed gyms typically tend to get less crowded a month or two after the New Year. Exercising and eating healthy are great New Year’s resolutions, but they are not the easiest to maintain. Breaking habits and disciplining yourself to do what is not always convenient, and at times painful, is not only difficult, but not much fun; however should still always be given every best effort to maintain for a healthier lifestyle. I wish everyone this year who is vowing to eat healthier and exercise more often, the best of success.
In addition to eating healthy and exercising, I would like to add one more thing that will contribute to a healthier you in 2010 which is much easier than dieting and exercising, and that would be choosing natural skin care products for you and your family. Most people who are very serious about getting in shape and eating healthy will often spend lots of money on gym memberships, diet programs, vitamins, supplements and healthy organic foods, but one very important area that is so often overlooked is skin care. The skin is the gateway to your insides and having healthy skin is very vital to your overall health. Because the skin is permeable it will absorb what is put on it. Instead of buying synthetic soaps, shampoos and conditioners, why not try giving handcrafted soaps, such as goats milk soaps that are chemical free and full of natural ingredients a try.
I encourage you if you haven’t already, to take some time in 2010 to become more informed of what’s in the products you are washing your body and home as well. With the Internet easily accessible to most people it is very easy to do some research finding very reputable websites whose mission and passion are educating the public of the subtle dangers that the advertisements and labels fail to do.
The Pure-N-Simple Soap family is wishing you and your family a very healthy and prosperous 2010.
