We are bombarded by commercials that boast their product will clear your skin. Most of these products will help your skin on contact, but they contain toxic chemicals that will be pulled into the body by the blood capillaries under the skin. They will circulate through your body creating havoc as they go and because your skin is the most eliminative organ, they will be deposited back to your skin to create the very inflammation on the skin that they were put there to help.
I am going to give you two AMAZING tips that you can do:
- The first tip is absolutely imperative to do in the morning. As soon as you wake in the morning, I suggest drinking a large glass of water with lemon oil (organic) or lemon juice. Lemon oil comes from the rind of lemon. Lemon are part of the dirty dozen. This means that they are heavily sprayed with pesticides and the lemons are porous, allowing the chemicals to penetrate the skin. So, why drink this in the morning? Your liver has been hard at work trying to detox your body at night. Drinking lemon water provides a way for the body to remove these toxins. If this is not done, the body will find the best alternative, YOUR SKIN. Putting 2 drops of lemon oil in your water 3x daily can also support metabolism and weight loss.
- The second tip is a non toxic mixture for your skin
