Keeping Your Skin Beautiful in the Summertime

You know I do loves me some holistic tips for my skin, hopefully you will too! From RedOrbit are 5 tips from holistic practitioner, Mary Berkery, to make sure that skin you’re in is looking great all summer:

1. Hydrate your skin

Mary says: “Drink at least one litre of water each day but remember to drink between meals rather than during meals.

“Drinking water with your food dilutes the digestive juices, making it more difficult for your digestive system to function at its best level.”

2. Oxygenate

Mary explains: “Getting enough oxygen is crucial for crystal clear skin,” Mary explains.

“It helps the dilation of the blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the extremities and improving the condition of the skin.”

3. Alkalise the Diet

“Acidic substances such as coffee, alcohol, sugar, red meat and cigarettes upset the skin’s natural balance by stripping it of essential nutrients.

“Don’t overdo the dairy products as this can lead to dull, doughy skin which is prone to whiteheads and blackheads.

4. Balance your skin by allowing access to the natural elements

“The best advice is to avoid the sun’s strongest rays – half an hour in the morning or early evening will provide the skin with adequate exposure to the elements.”

5. Nurture your skin with natural ingredients

“Remember to use natural products that are rich in anti-oxidants like plant oils and botanical herbs to help combat the effects of city living and being away from nature.
