Sharing is caring!

When it comes to healthy beauty and your skin, what you ingest is just as important as what you rub on your body’s largest organ. You can, for instance, improve your complexion simply by reducing your daily intake of dairy, cane sugar, and wheat, and by following these five great tips:

Honey

Honey is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, making it great for treating and preventing acne. Not only does it draw out impurities from the skin, target breakouts, reduce redness, and calm inflammation; it’s also full of antioxidants and moisture and is, consequently, great for slowing down aging and giving skin an added glow. Make sure, though, that you only use raw honey, which is rich in natural enzymes often removed in the pasteurization process.

Puro3 Jojoba Ozonated Oil

Jojoba oil from the jojoba tree is widely used on the skin, mainly because its properties are very similar to that of the sebum produced by human skin. This, in turn, makes it easy to assimilate and absorb and a safe alternative to synthetic substances intended for the same uses. Jojoba oil also has fantastic fungicide properties, and it serves as a powerful barrier against allergens and irritants like dust and pollution.

HoneyColony best-selling skin cream Puro3 takes organic jojoba oil to the next level by infusing it with ozone. Ozone is a unique agent that preserves and restores the natural beauty and health of skin, while oxygenation produces a striking cleansing effect and enhances healing. Ozonated oils can help heal skin infections from diabetic ulcers, burns, traumatic and surgical wounds, abscesses and skin reactions after radiotherapy.

Zatik Dragon’s Blood Cleansing Gel

Dragon Blood trees have mottled-white and -gray bark where the sap runs rich and red, just like fresh blood. It is used as a topical aid for cuts, bites, burns, stings, rashes, abrasions, and sores.

Dragon’s Blood contains a broad range of naturally occurring compounds, many of which have been well studied. The sap is rich in protective antioxidant phenols, and anti-inflammatory compounds of various kinds. Due to these compounds, Dragon’s Blood sap helps to protect the cells of the skin, and reduces redness and swelling. It also contains a group of compounds called proanthocyanidins, which actually repair collagen – the lattice-like main protein that makes up much of our tissue.

Additionally, Dragon’s Blood contains taspine, a known tissue-healing agent. The sap also demonstrates antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity. Finally, the cleaning gel includes burdock, orange oil, geranium, and calendula. It makes a wonderful-smelling, soothing beauty product.

Zatik makes an array of other excellent skin products as well. The founders, a couple based in Los Angeles, manufacture clean, safe products made locally. Read Zatik Natural’s Green Cosmetics Revolution to learn more!

 Vital Choice Sockeye Salmon Oil Softgels 

Essentially, fatty acids can help improve a person’s skin and overall health. Fish oil contains two main types of omega-3 fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. These healthy omega-3 fats benefit our largest organ by boosting cellular health and functioning, and by helping our skin maintain its smooth, elastic texture.

What’s more, docosahexaenoic acid keeps the brain functioning properly. And eicosapentaenoic acid greatly benefits skin by regulating oil production. It boosts hydration, prevents acne, and delays the skin’s aging process by staving off wrinkles. A 2005 study in the Journal of Lipid Research discovered that EPA can help block the release of the UV-induced enzymes that eat away at our collagen, causing lines and sagging skin. Because EPA is both an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent, it can protect against sun damage and help repair skin that has already been damaged. Fish oil’s key mechanism appears to be the reduction of inflammation, which is associated with skin conditions like acne.

Bee Pollen

Bee pollen is a substance made up nectar or honey, bee saliva, and plant pollen from flowers. This nutrient-dense food, full of easily digestible protein, makes up a large part of a bee’s diet.

In addition to a multitude of internal health benefits, this superfood is a potent ingredient for skin health. You can eat pollen by the teaspoon with a little bit of water, add it to your superfood smoothie, sprinkle it on a salad or mix it in with honey and use as a homemade facial mask.

As antioxidants fight free radicals associated with skin damage, elevated strengths of nucleic acid (the building blocks of RNA and DNA), make it a wonderful way to revitalize acne-damaged skin, reduce inflammation, and intensify cell development. Bee pollen also consists of poly-vitamins, microelements, enzymes, hormones, and amino acids that are beneficial for the skin.
