We have already prepared for the arrival of good weather and the rise in temperatures. During this winter time, your skin has been covered and exposed to lower temperatures, so you may have noticed that it is drier or more dehydrated.
Keep reading and start taking care of your skin from within!
To begin talking about how to take care of our skin, we need to focus on our intestines.
Pay attention to your intestines
You have probably heard of the intestinal microbiota and all its benefits for our health. What you may not know is that this ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and yeasts that inhabit our intestines is not limited to just living there; they are found throughout our bodies, and one of the areas with the highest concentration of microbiota is the skin.
To have beautiful and healthy skin, we must start by taking care of our bacteria, and the best supplement we have for this is probiotics.
Specifically for the skin, the most well-known strains are:
- Lactobacillus Rhamnosus
- Bifidobacterium lactis
- Bifidobacterium longum
- Lactobacillus casei
So, we will look for probiotics that contain these strains, such as Florase Derma or Ergyphilus Íntima. Both of them have a combination of these strains, as well as other interesting nutrients for the skin.
Pay attention to your liver.
Another very important factor in relation to the health of our skin is the liver.
The liver is the main player in eliminating toxins from our body, but the skin is also part of the elimination organs.
It is possible that the liver may have so much work that it ends up purifying our skin excessively. The fact that we have more pimples, even more spots, and feel that the skin is not as clean as it should be, may be partly due to the extra purification that the liver cannot perform and is taken on by the skin. And besides, during certain phases of phase two, the liver is responsible for eliminating hormones, and you have probably experienced a close relationship between our hormonal balance and the state of our skin.
What can we do to take care of our liver and at the same time take care of our hormones and ultimately our skin?
Help the liver purify properly.
One of the plants that can be very beneficial for purifying the liver and improving the condition of our skin is Burdock.
Then we have the classic Milk Thistle, which is a plant with a broad spectrum related to the liver and can work very well for us, as well as Dandelion, which helps the liver and kidneys and can help us in this broad way as well.
Then we also have those nutrients or compounds that are synergistic to the specific phases of liver hormone elimination, for example, all the sulfur compounds derived from cabbages, which are very specific for eliminating hormones, especially estrogens, such as indole-3-carbinol. Also, the B-group vitamins because they aid in methylation, particularly vitamins B6, B9, and B12.
If you apply all these concepts and practices, you will have a much cleaner and suitable ground to specifically help the skin.
Remember!
If you are taking medication or have any medical condition, always consult your primary care doctor, specialist, or healthcare professional.
