Things that contribute to Poor Skin Conditions
1.Antibiotics and alcohol lead the way in reducing good bacteria in the digestive tract. The liver and most of the immune system is in the digestive tract.
2. Poor diet, or faulty digestion restricts availability of nutrients that are important to skin's health
3. Sluggish liver can not store skin-loving vitamins such as A
4. Smoking subtracts years fro your health. It shows mostly in your skin.
5. Lack of exercise reduces blood circulation. This means fewer nutrients and oxygen make it to the skin.
Avoid these ingredients in skin care products:
Glycerin, sodium, lauryl sulfate, antibiotics, imidazoli, petrolatium, propylane glycol, PVP/VA copolymer, sodium lauryl sulfate, steaaralkonium cloride, synthetic colors, synthetic fragrances, and triethanolamine.
