Do: Why Healthy Skin is Important

Your skin is the biggest organ in your body. It is the first thing people see when they look at you, and it is your first line of defense against the world. Your skin most closely matches what you think of as “me”.

Despite this high profile role, your skin is the last in line to receive nutrients from blood circulation. What’s more, the circulation within your skin is not driven by heart pumping or muscle movements like other parts of your circulatory system, but rather is made up of capillaries which depend on passive forces to move nutrients in and toxins out.

Couple this with an environment which bombards us with myriad forms of physical and psychological toxicity and stress, unnatural materials, shortcut nutrition, temptations to ignore our bodies’ needs, sedentary activities, and other pitfalls and obstacles, and you can see the importance of taking the time to give your skin some TLC!

There is a bright side. With a little mindfulness, a bit of direction, and the right information as your guide, you can take matters into your own hands and create the type of skin you want to show the world. You can be proud of the type of skin people will compliment you for. You can and will love your beautiful, healthy skin, from head to moisturized toe.
