Healthy Skin

[TASHA454026]

The skin reflects and reacts to your entire being – physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual. If you eat well, exercise regularly, sleep adequately and find ways to alleviate the stress in your life, your skin will reflect this healthy lifestyle.

A good skin is an asset for the future and affect not only how people see us, but how we see the world. In our current environment it is so important to protect and care for our skin.

A dynamic, complex system of interweaving processes, the skin reflects the body's internal health and, as the largest organ of perception, it responds to external influences such as hot or cold temperatures. A large percentage of a person's T-cells, the cells of immunity, are found within its layers. The skin helps us to eliminate toxins and defend our body from bacteria.
The skin provides an honest mirror of our inner health and well being. Consider that when we eat a great deal of fatty foods or foods to which we are allergic, our skin is often the first indicator that we have mistreated ourselves. On the other hand, when have been eating healthily and enjoying plenty of fresh, clean water, getting all necessary vitamins and minerals, exercise, our skin exhibits a healthy glow that is indicative of the attention we are paying to ourselves.
The process of growing up and becoming an adult is an emotional process we all know —but it is also a very complex process that is happening in our bodies.
The largest reflection of this is seen in the skin. It is also a time when our skin deals with a change in structure, pH and function.


Our body is surrounded by its first defense called the ACID MANTLE. There is a slightly acidic layer on our skin which protects is from infection and absorbing poisons through our skin. It is formed by the combination of oil from our oil glands and sweet from our sweat glands (actually called sebaceous glands and sudiferous glands). The acidity of an adult skin is around 5pH to 6pH.
When we are children we have an acidity (pH) of 7, the same as water. This is why children are more prone to fungus infections like ringworm — funguses do not like acid conditions— Therefore do not grow as easily on adults.

OUR SKINS PROTECTIVE ACID MANTLE IS FORMED BY THE COMBINATION OF THE SWEAT AND OIL ON OUR SKIN
As you become a teenager we start growing a lot more hair — with each hair follicle comes an oil gland. Suddenly we have a lot more oil, added to the mixture — this in turn makes our skins pH change.
This is also when the problems start.
Our skin feels greasy so we wash it with soap (well lots of people do) our skin is then stripped of its oil. Because our skins pH is affected (suddenly having gone up to pH 8, very alkaline) it means our bodies first defense mechanism is down. HELP! Signals are sent to our brain then to the pituatary gland to produce more oil, to fix up the skins acid balance.
THEN your skin feels greasy so we wash it again and the cycle continues.

WHAT FINALLY HAPPENS IS THAT WE GET UP AND DOWN SIGNALS TO OUR HORMONE SYSTEM, WHICH SET UP A PATTERN THAT CONTINUES FOR LIFE.
Okay, so maybe you don’t use soap — great — but also remember not to over stimulate oil skin by washing it with HOT water only tepid please. The heat stimulates oil production.
Never worry about a bit of oil on the skin — with a proper cleansing regime — oil protects the skin and prevents wrinkling.
So what’s first?
Great looking skin begins with cleansing and toning. The right routine can make a real difference in the way your skin looks and behaves.

I would rep anyone who bothers to read all of that... If I remember

Intellect has nothing to do with your skin. What a stupid cut 'n' paste job. And, if it's not that, you're uneducated.

Emotions and overall feelings do, but it's not like;
Low IQ = Acne prone skin. That's stupid.


There's a load of crap in your post, with vocabulary that's supposed to 'impress?'

Basically all you need to know about "Healthy skin" is to have a balanced diet. [Which you can refer to the Health Pyramid, or whatever.]
And exercise, regularly.
Although yeah, stress, weather, hormones and other factors come into it.

If people didn't know that, then LOL.

I still don't get why people cut and paste junk, when you could just google it, if it's getting people's thoughts on things, fair enough, but- THIS, [and others] aren't.

I had the classic "pepperoni face acne" for years. I even tried acutane! Then I tried Arbonne's Clear Advantage system, and my skin had completely cleared up in three weeks! I loved it so much that I got into the business, so if anyone wants to talk about how to ACTUALLY do something about acne, email me. I'd love to hear from ya. My website is http://sacredskin.myarbonne.com and my email address is at the bottom of the first page.
