BUILDING UP YOUR LIVER HELPS YOUR SKIN!

~HAIRLOOM'S BELIEF~

HAIRLOOM strongly believes in taking care of your inner body first, before you can cure the outside. This is exceptionally true, you have to believe in it to help yourself!

IT ALL STARTS IN THE LIVER! SOUNDS IRONICAL?

Skin is a reflection of health of the internal body, especially the liver. Sometimes, your genes play a part too. If most of your family members do have acne, most probably you might be one of them.

If that is the case your acne is most likely genetic and it is something you can definitely learn to manage!f you are an adult acne-sufferer, then you're likely to have a weak or overloaded liver and gallbladder. It may be largely due to the food that you eat. But, you’re certainly not alone.

With these overloaded cleansing organs, our body needs to get rid of excess fats and toxins in some other way. If you’re lucky the toxins are removed through the colon. But sometimes they’re stored in fat cells in the body, and for acne sufferers the toxins often come out through the skin, resulting in clogged pores and acne.

The skin is the largest organ of the body and it helps other organs with eliminating waste. One of the best acne treatments is a diet which will help the body eliminate waste so that it won't interfere with your skin and cause acne. If you are unhealthy on the inside it will be reflected in your skin.

It is the livers job to remove hormones from the body. If your liver can't remove hormones fast enough you will end up with too much oil in your skin because hormones are like an instruction manual telling your skin to produce more oil. The function of the liver is also to get rid of toxins. If there is an over-load of toxins in your body, the liver can have problems removing hormones.

So what toxins concern acne sufferers the most? Mycotoxins. These nasty little chemicals are the 'excreted' waste of bacteria such as yeast, and usually found in the intestines. Mycotoxins put a strain on your liver and you already know what happens when your liver doesn't get rid of hormones!

Using diet as a natural acne treatment was not as bad as I had thought it would be. There are many foods that help the liver and help remove waste from the body.

Here are a few pointers from us:

1. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated!!! Water is the cure for many ailments.

2. Stay away from products that have ingredients that are acnegenic or comedogenic - meaning they cause acne or clog the pores.

3. Avoid using laundry detergents with fragrance. Don't use the fabric softener sheets you put into the dryer. These coat the towels and sheets you use and can make acne worse.


4. Avoid excess Iodine in the diet; including salty snacks, fast foods, processed foods, soy sauce, MSG, seaweed, kelp, cold medicines and vitamins containing iodine and kelp.


5. Avoid hormone laden food especially milk and cheese. I have known heavy milk drinkers with excessive acne to cut back or eliminate milk and their acne disappears.


6. Use ice on inflammed acne to help calm it down.


7. TRY HAIRLOOM'S REMEDIES!!!


8. EAT MORE FRUITS!!!

HAIRLOOM'S WORD OF ADVICE:
Those remedies we've discussed before helps prevent new acnes from forming and to keep your skin clear. Some mild acnes will probably even heal. However, MOST non-inflammed acnes, especially those existing blackheads and whiteheads usually don't go away by themselves - it is best to get an appointment with an esthetician and have them do extractions for you. DON'T TRY TO GET THEM OUT YOURSELF! - believe me, it is hard enough with an extraction tool. Most people end up "digging" blackheads and non-inflamed lesions out. This leaves a scab that will stay red for much longer than if you let someone do it for you. You can also scar from doing this, so leave it to the pros!

In our next blog, we will update you on many more beauty tips! Stay tuned, heirlooms!

Love, Sun.
