For CLEAR, BLEMISH-FREE SKIN, include the following in to your diet: rocket, onions, raw apple cider vinegar, garlic & lemon. But let’s take a few steps back. Of course, we’re big supporters of using the correct skin care products for a beautiful complexion, but you might be one of those people who still can’t get rid of your pesky acne despite using good products. The problem may lie deeper within the body. The liver filters toxins and pushes the waste into the colon. But when these organs become overloaded with waste & toxins, the toxins have to be pushed out through the skin, another eliminative organ… thus creating those ugly pimples. If you want to eradicate acne, you have to eliminate the root cause by minimising toxicity in your body. Cooked fats, dairy products, processed & refined foods that contain chemicals and preservatives are extremely difficult for the body to digest. Rocket - is high in vitamin A, which not only protects the skin from free radical damage, but has been shown to be an anti-acne nutrient. It’s a highly alkalising food, and helps cleanse and neutralize acidic waste throughout the blood and lymphatic system. It also contains a good source of vitamins C and K, iron, calcium and fiber. Onions – Raw or cooked, onions possess antiseptic properties that cleanse the liver and skin. They stimulate the production of glutathione, which is the most important antioxidant the liver uses for detoxification. Onions have antibacterial properties, help neutralise free radicals and are a great for cleasing the blood, which in turn promotes the efficient flow of oxygen in the bloodstream, helping create a glowing, clear complexion. They also contain vitamins A & C, sulfur, calcium, potassium, iron, silicon and fiber. Raw apple cider vinegar –There’s a strong link between constipation and acne. Raw apple cider vinegar is a strong digestive aid, helping to cure constipation and stimulating stomach acid, which aids digestion. It also has antiviral, antibacterial and has antifungal properties. All this helps promote good skin. It also speeds up metabolism and encourages fat-burning… bonus! Garlic – purifies the bloodstream and enhances detoxification to help secure clear skin over the long haul. Garlic is a wonderful digestive aid, as it stimulates both secretion of digestive juices and peristalsis, the wavelike muscle contractions that move waste matter along through the digestive tract. It’s packed with vitamins and nutrients, including potassium, B vitamins and vitamin C. Lemon – an absolute favourite at Pure Aesthetics! If you want clear, glowing and blemish-free skin, make sure lemons are part of your daily diet. Lemon aids with digestion, destroys free radicals & toxins, acts as a blood purifier and flushes out bacteria & toxins from the body. It’s rich in vitamin C, which brings radiant glow to your complexion, fights wrinkles and rejuvenates the skin from within. It also contains the minerals calcium, potassium and magnesium. Best tip of the day… start every day off by cleansing & detoxifying your body with a cup of warm water & lemon!
