Why do some people look young forever and your skin looks like dried up baseball mitt? On today’s strategy, I’m going to give you 11 ancient beauty secrets that most people don’t even know about. Let’s do this! Did you ever look at your skin and think where has the time gone? Or maybe you’re in a grocery store and that, you know that one section that you go to every single time looking for that magic potion or the elixir that somehow you’re going to put on your face and all those wrinkles, blemishes and the different lines are just mysteriously going to disappear. I want you to remember this; then I wouldn’t put it on your skin.
Your skin is the largest organ in your entire body. We pay attention to what we eat right? You’re always looking at the back of the box. Seeing what’s in there. So why not start paying attention to what you put on your skin. Your skin absorbs 60% of what you put on it meaning that 60 percent of those toxic chemicals that you actually put on your skin, your body has to process.
Studies have linked what you put on your skin to headaches, mood swings, hormonal imbalances and some diseases. Some of the products in your cabinet, in your bathroom, contain alcohol, benzoyl peroxide and sodium lauryl sulfate, SLS for short. The good news is, is that when you have chlorella and spirulina and some of these other super foods it can actually help you detox from a lot of that processed crap.
Alright so here’s the 11 remedies:
1. Frankincense is dried up sap of the Boswellia genus particularly the Boswellia sacra. I use it all the time. Absolutely love frankincense.
2. Saffron is said to be used by Cleopatra in her milk baths.
3. Bergamot is actually used in aerobatic centers and spas. It’s an antiseptic. It has anti-inflammatory properties as well.
4. Lavender, I use that. It’s an essential oil. Put it on my chest before I go to bed, relaxes you, calms you. It’s really good for your skin. It relieves sunburns and acne as well.
5. Marigold is anti-inflammatory. It’s good for acne. It’s high on antioxidants too.
6. Raw honey, in the beginning of this video you saw me chilling with the raw honey mask on. It’s actually great for your skin. It’s extremely beneficial when it comes to tightening your skin as well.
7. Baking soda. You can mix it with lemon juice to remove a black head. You can mix it with coconut oil for a natural fluoride free toothpaste as well. Little peppermint oil on there, absolutely love it.
8. Tea tree oil can be used to get rid of dandruff as a shampoo. You can also use a small amount of tea tree oil on a cotton ball to remove acne.
9. Turmeric, number nine is the ultimate skin care root. It’s an anti-inflammatory. It’s amazing for your skin. It can actually help whiten your teeth and it also helps with wrinkles and stretch marks as well.
10. Watermelon is absolutely amazing for your skin. Did you know it’s the only thing that can be classified as a fruit and a vegetable? It’s loaded with vitamin C which vitamin C is really, really good for your skin.
11. Wheatgrass is referred to as the plasma of youth. It contains vitamin A, C, D and E, chlorophyll, amino acids and enzymes that are vital to keeping your body beautiful on the inside and out.
In a thousand years, we won’t need to worry about skin care as much because I’m convinced we’re going to have nanobots that are going to be able to go on our body through technology in just how we age. Maybe we will be able to put a new face if we want to. So in the future, everything will be taken care of but until then it’s important to take care of your face, to take care of your beauty. You know it all starts on the inside. If you can fix your gut as we talked about in the past, your skin’s going to look much more vibrant. It’s going to glow a lot more.
When it comes to getting rid of all those chemicals in the bathroom, that’s one of the first things I’d recommend. Get rid of the parabens, the SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), all the other things that can contribute to damaging the inside that your body has to process and get rid of right? When you make it easy, then you’ll start to feel better, your skin will start to look better and start to adapt some of these methods.
