Discussing the largest organ of the body; sorry guys, we
are talking about skin!
Yup, it’s the largest organ of the body. That’s worth mentioning
because of the fact it is not just wasted and used covering, but is a
vibrant organism that is feed by the body and performs functions that
actually keeps us alive. Naturally it keeps everything inside us. It also
keeps every thing outside of us including virus and bacteria.
To be healthy, the skin must breath. It is scientifically proven that if
the skin of a whole human being is painted over with non breathing
paint, the human will die within hours. Obviously the less product you
apply to your skin and leave on there, the better. Caked makeup is
not healthy for the skin to breath and will contribute to wrinkling much
as too much time under water will.
The skin in its most wonderful attribute is that it is completely
regenerating. Then why does the skin age? Free Radicals of course.
Over time, these tiny atomic partials begin to change the DNA of the
cells, then when the cells divide to make more cells, the offspring will
adopt the molecular defect. Causes of the molecular break down are
too much UV radiation, junk food, smoking, environmental exposure
are among a long list.
A healthy skin program for the face is too cleanse the skin with an
acidic skin scrub every evening before bed. Just after the cleansing
applying a facial lotion with vitamin E, and JoJoba oil. Some people
are lead to believe that skin lotion containing collagen will provide a
tighter skin base, but unfortunately this is not true. Collagen is
produced under the skin and it comes from inside the body, and can
not be absorbed from the outside. If you have significant skin damage
due to the sun or smoking, rejuvenation and resurfacing can be done
with Lasers and this is very effective, however very expensive.
A lot of improvement can be had from using the daily skin scrub
with follow up good quality skin care lotion. This will clear the debris
of daily smoke, pollen and other air born pollutants that imbed into the
skin, while also clearing away the loose and flaky skin cells.
When you wake up in the morning, if the skin appears oily, rinse
with diluted lemon or lime water which will remove any oily base and
tighten up the skin, for hours. You should begin your day with a good
quality sun screen if you will be out of doors for any period of time.
If you insist on wearing makeup, then by all means purchase only
makeup that allows the skin to breath, and use ONLY natural
ingredients. And remember, your skin isn’t just your face, its also your
largest organ!
