What Are You Feeding Your Skin?

Skin is largest organ of your body weighing about 7-10 pounds and covering about 20 square feet.

Our skin is our connection with the world and corresponds with all our inner workings. In Asian medicine, the skin is referred to as our “third lung.” governed by the metal element which rules the lungs and large intestines. The lungs rule the surface of the body thus the energy of the lungs can be evaluated by the quality of the skin and body hair, if they are moist or dry, limp or elastic, shining or dull.

How about the fact that SKIN communicates and receives LOVE? When we are fearful, we get pale, we blush when we are embarrassed, and we glow when we are feeling joyous.

So, it’s easy to assume that whatever is going on in the inside of our body is visible on the outside.

Many factors can affect your skin and can contribute to mature aging, such as inadequate sleep, diet, hormones, cigarette smoking, diet, medication, constipation, cosmetics, chemicals. But HELP is on the way...we can support our skin by supporting our body from within!
