Keep Your Skin in Great Shape

The inner and outer skin both act as complex and hard-working detox organs, helping to take some of the weight of detoxing off of the liver. An intact and well-functioning detox system includes the lymph, liver, kidneys and the skin working in harmony to process toxic elements as they come in.

Additionally, both the inner and outer skin are home to trillions of beneficial bacteria that support optimal health by performing a majority of the body’s functions. Supporting and feeding these microbes with appropriate seasonal foods, high-quality prebiotics and probiotics keep these “good bugs” healthy and they, in turn, produce immune-boosting fatty acids that nourish and protect the skin, giving it a brilliant luster and healthy sheen.

The Ayurvedic approach to preserving optimal skin health is a multi-pronged method that involves assessing and supporting sound internal health, nourishing the beneficial microbes that call the skin their home, using oils that moisturize the skin by feeding the skin’s healthy bugs, and regularly cleansing and detoxing.
