Tip for November 2008:

Holistic Skin Care

Traditional wisdom tells women that they will age and it won’t be pretty, so get ready for your looks to go downhill and your skin to sag, wrinkle and dry up. There is also conventional medicine that tells women that they must inject toxins into their skin and body, and cut their face and pull it up to look beautiful.

Cosmetic companies make billions of dollars off the fear of aging skin. Topical “wonder” products that are riddled with chemicals and toxins are launched every year. These products usually wind up half empty and jammed in the back of the cabinet. Nevertheless, beneath all that marketing hype there has been an authentic leap forward in our understanding of what causes skin to age, and it centers around inflammation, toxicity and stress.

This is good news! It means your skin really can look better than ever — no matter how old you are — once you recognize that what happens on the inside truly does show up on the outside. That’s because the aging you see in your skin is biological, not chronological, and can be delayed or even reversed with a holistic, natural approach that includes proper balancing of the human system, optimal diet, and lifestyle and organic product choices.

This approach to healthy skin works for many conditions like aging, dryness, acne, rosacea, and dermatitis. Whereas conventional medicine turns first to antibiotics, acids, retinol and steroid creams to treat the symptoms of these conditions, our approach helps women resolve them by addressing the root cause.

At Beauty Through Balance, we see the results of this inside-out approach every day in the skin of our clients — skin that grows younger and more vibrant each day. And yours can too… but the solution relies upon how you live your life, what you put in your body as well as what you put on your skin. This work is truly transformational. By addressing skin issues, many women discover a more balanced approach to their life.
