My lovely editor at Hat Trick Magazine asked me to write about some of these fancy designer chemicals she’s so fond of. Yes, she loves the natural stuff too but no matter what I tell her...she goes back to trendy designer skincare full of ‘acids’.
Guess what? It’s all bullhonkey... Seriously, if you feel the need to waste your money on this stuff, just save the effort of hauling your wrinkled carcass to the nearest designer cosmetics counter and send me your money instead. I’m about to tell you something... Those fancy acids do nothing for you but add to your problems in the long run. They actually make your skin even MORE sensitive! You can get the same and safer NATURAL results from crushing some fresh strawberries and grapefruit pulp and applying that to your face every other week... seriously!
Let me get REAL with you here. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and virtually the only organ that you can watch. Personally I don’t think I’d have too much entertainment out of watching something like my adorable pancreas... just sayin’. Annoying and troublesome skin conditions like rashes, pimples, eczema, and illnesses like chicken pox or measles are attempts by the skin to clean itself out. This is Nature’s way in health: the body will try, must try, to clean itself of toxins, foreign chemicals and poisons. Nature eliminates wastes. You may not like it; it may not look romantic; it might even itch. However, the toxins must be expelled. Since the skin is your largest organ, it will by nature want to do a lot of cleaning out. The more it does so, the more you needed it to. Simple, proper diet eliminates so many complaints. Whole foods, raw or lightly-cooked vegetables, grains and fruits, lean meats & fish and no chemically-doctored food will go a very long way to improving your Why Your Skin Does Not Need Fancy Designer Chemicals... Kiss It! •
