Teenage skin

For my regular readers you will be aware I have an (almost) teenage son.  Along with the ‘back-chatting’ and standard attitude issues, we are also dealing with changes in hormones.  Therefore, I’ve spent some time investigating organic skin care ranges which do not contain harsh chemicals which strip the skin of its natural oils but balances natural oils, for a clearer, more mattified complexion. 

I’m hoping my children don’t suffer with acne.  Acne is generally a result of a genetic predisposition.  The severity of individual cases will be, for the most part, linked to the degree to which specific skin malfunctions are related to inherited genetic coding. 

As said son is entering puberty, we have noticed an increase in oil production.  Therefore, we have introduced a facial wash that lifts excess sebum and keep follicles clear.  We’ve also found an excellent skin gel for targeting any breakouts that may occur.

Beauty starts on this inside

I love this saying for so many reasons.  Beauty isn't just about physical good looks.  You could be the most attractive person in the world but without glowing skin, shiny hair and a beautiful soul, you are an empty shell.  The majority of my blog posts have been about feeding the soul; well this week's blog post is about increasing your vitality and physical health by taking supplements.

There is a growing body of evidence to show that feeding the skin from within can dramatically improve its appearance.  This mounting body of evidence shows that feeding your skin from the inside, as well as applying nourishing products topically to the skin, achieves far superior results.

Do you supplement your diet?  Or do you believe you eat a healthy, balanced diet and therefore do not require additional nutrients?  Sadly, intensive farming methods means our soil is no longer as nutrient rich as it used to be.  DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) published a report outlining the nutritional profile of food and you can clearly see the decline over the past 20 years.

So how do you decide which supplements to buy?  The Organic Consumers Association state "90% or more vitamins and supplements on the market which are labelled 'natural' or 'food based' are spiked with synthetic chemicals."  Neal's Yard Inner Health supplements contain no synthetic binders, ie Up to 50% of a supplement tablet can be made up of glues, known as binders, which hold the tablet together.  For most people this is just an irritating fact, but for those who are hyper allergenic, it can be a real problem".

Why not try natural, nutritional supplements which are expertly formulated with natural and organic ingredients?  For further information, click the following link  https://uk.nyrorganic.com/shop/HeatherWinterton/area/shop-online/category/supplements/
