Believe it or not the steps to attaining a radiant complexion start with the body systems. You can use prescription drugs and clear up acne to a certain extent. However when you look at your face it will not glow and you will not be completely free from blemishes.
So what kind of gymnastics do you have to preform to have radiant blemish free skin? The best advice we can give you is to work on fine tuning your body systems. A well-oiled well maintained machine will hum happily for many years maintenance free.
The steps you take to attain this goal are very personal. There are many ways to achieve this goal. We would like to highlight here some of the steps we have used which seem to work well for many people and have stood the test of time.
Electrolysis – removing the hair permanently will help reduce the amount of bacteria which is held on the surface of the skin. Therefore there will be less inclination to form blemishes. Tweezing the hair aggravates the skin and seems to make more acne as well. Once you start with the electrolysis and stop tweezing the blemishes subside.
The acne is a result of any type of hormonal imbalance in the system. This can be from heredity or from a body system that is not working properly or both. It is important to note that all these systems are controlled by our emotions. Our health is controlled by our beliefs and emotions. A happy healthy person will tend to have a happy healthy body.
When one of the systems of the body is not working properly or is overloaded it calls on the other body systems to help. This throws the whole body off and you will get many symptoms which alert the body that something has gone awry. Blemishes, superfluous hair, dull wrinkled skin, aches and pains, low energy are some of the symptoms will alert you that something is wrong.
Since our specialty is working on the face we would like to concentrate our comments to this area. However much of this advice can be applied to ones total wellness.
It is our belief that:
Our bodies were built to heal themselves.
We do not need modern medicine and prescription drugs to help us heal. If we live in a way that takes us back to our roots we will be more successful helping our body to get well and stay well. God gave us everything we need when we were born here on this planet.
We believe that modern diseases are a result of mans interference with our body, mind and soul. When we trust in our own ability to KNOW what our body needs and follow that knowing. When one becomes aware of this one can help oneself become well much more effectively.
We have the power from within. If you are new to this concept there are earthly tools to help you achieve these goals. These tools are all around us. For instance the huge variation of plants that grow are sent here to be available for us to use in helping us heal.
Plants, even those that we call weeds have tons of medicinal values. It is God’s way of showing us that there are an unlimited number of resources all around us to help us heal. It is time we pay attention and take action.
It’s time to stop using man made chemicals and start using the plethora of resources that were put here on the earth to help us.
STEP: 1 Consider what you are putting into your body. Does it come from the earth, the sea or the air ? Has it been made with love, gratitude and kindness? Our bodies will react to the energies of the things we consume. A good rule of thumb is to be more aware of what you eat or consume.
Once we have consumed enough “toxins” in your body it becomes overwhelmed.
A. One aspect of this is the liver becomes full and overflowing with this “toxins” and it asks the adrenal glands to help it clean out the systems. The adrenal glands don’t know where to put all the “toxins” so they deposit these “toxins” in the skin. This is one of the ways acne develops.
B. Another aspect of this is – Put only things that come from the earth, the sea and the air ON your body. Anything you put on your skin absorbs directly into the bold stream. It does not have the benefit of the stomach and liver and kidneys to help it remove whatever nasty thing is in the product that you have applied onto the skin. This refers to any lotions, perfumes or prescription creams you may use including Proactive and Retin A and other skin irritants. Anything you put on your skin goes directly into your blood stream.
STEP: 2
A. Start helping your body remove all these “toxins” now ASAP. To get immediate results start soaking in a tub of Epsom Salts. Use at least 4 cups of salt to a tub full of FILTERED water. Clay can also be used. Clay is more expensive. Soak for 20 minutes or more. This can be done as often as daily or as infrequently as weekly. Make sure you drink plenty of filtered water after.
B. Soak a warm wash cloth with a solution of 4 cups water and about 1 cup Sea Salt or Epsom Salt. Place that on your face and relax for 20 minutes. Follow up with Aloe Vera Gel. Then apply an organic moisturizer if needed. The “Now” brand makes many good products. There are several oils you can use to moisturize your face. They are filled with tons of antioxidants and vitamins and minerals. We prefer Raw JoJoba Oil, Tea Tree, Neem, Coconut is great too and vitamin E. All as Raw as possible, organic or at the least, all natural skin care products are preferred. Aveda makes some great all natural and organic products. All health food stores carry an array of healthier skin care products.
C. 
Cleanse with an organic cleanser. My favorite is Dr. Bronner’s Castle Soap. I use this with a wash cloth.
STEP: 3 Encourage better digestion to help the body absorb more nutrients from the food you eat and to help your body get rid of toxins. If the body does not remove toxins at the digestive level they will start to back up and affect the functions of the body systems. To encourage better digestion, the use of digestive enzymes and good bacteria is encouraged. I love Yakult.
It can be found at HEB in the yoghurt section. Raw foods contain lots of enzymes but not enough to negate the need for digestive enzymes. Fiber also helps clean out toxins.
