AROMATIC SKIN CLEANSING
by Danielle Sade
The scent of spring in the air
makes us aware of new life and new beginnings.
Take a few minutes to look at your skin!
Even though you can’t see anything happening, your skin
is working very hard. Underneath the first layer of your
skin, new skin cells are regenerating. When new cells mature,
they start moving toward the top layer of the skin and newer
cells continue to move towards the surface of the skin.
Our skin sheds about 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells a
day. When we wash our body, it cleans most of the cells away,
however still can leave the body feeling dry and scaly. Cleansing
diets, steams, exfoliating, and massage allows the skin to
breathe properly. This helps eliminate toxic waste via perspiration
creating a vibrant, rejuvenated healthy looking skin.
SIMPLE STEPS TO A SKIN SPRING CLEANING
CHANGE
DIET
- Eat
mineral rich foods such as leafy greens, peppers, broccoli
and sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, fish and kelp. (These
include minerals such silica, sulphur, calcium and magnesium
that specific minerals for your skin)
- Adequate of high vegetable protein foods.
- Increase fiber such as vegetables, fruits, flax seed
meal, oats, whole rice, and beans to keep your colon clean.
- Drink 8 glasses of water a day with fresh squeezed lemon. Water
keeps you flushed so that waste and toxins won’t be excreted
through the skin. And prevents dehydrated skin.
- Mild exercise keeps
your skin’s circulation free and flowing
- Fresh air and early
morning sunlight on the body for natural vitamin D
- Eliminate Caffeine,
sugars, saturated fats, red meat and smoking,
AROMATIC STEAM
Steaming with essential
oils is an excellent way to moisturize the skin and increase
circulation and at the same time relaxing, allowing the
body to distress itself. It will help clean the skin
and leave skin looking youthful and vibrant by unclogging
the pours.
Inhalation of oil of Juniper & Lavender
has a calming diuretic effect.
AROMATIC EXFOLIATION
Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells
from the outer skin layer. This brings a fresh skin
to the surface and stimulates cell growth in the lower layers.
