Green Skin Care

It seems that when most people talk about going green, or how green they are, they overlook one of the most important, and most environment-influenced part of their life: their skin. The condition of your skin can say a lot about you; people can probably tell where you live, whether or not you spend most of your time outdoors or indoors, and what you eat. Living in a smog infested city will affect your skin differently than if you live in the cleaner airs of a mountain. Likewise, eating a diet of processed foods with artificial ingredients will affect your skin differently than if you eat organic, less processed foods. The most important thing to remember when talking about Green Skin Care, is that you are what you eat, and going green from the inside will improve the outside as well.

The very best way to obtain naturally healthy looking skin is to maintain a balanced diet that is nutrient rich. Your skin contains proteins and fatty acids, both of which highly effect the quality of your skin. Animal proteins can help to generate the actual skin tissue and the muscular tissue that supports it. Vegetable protein actually helps to build collagen! Fatty acids from seeds, nuts, grains and fresh fish generate your skin’s natural oils. Fruits, vegetables, milk, honey, yeast, water and other foods also help the skin to look and feel it’s best. Steer clear of processed foods, like sugar, soda, white flower, and products that contain them. So keep that diet balanced and you’ll be taking the first step to healthy skin.

Start with balancing and greening up your diet. If you need something more than just a diet change, if you suffer from a skin condition, are looking for skin protection, or just need something simple like a moisturizer, then make sure that your skin care products are green and safe. Avoid skin care products that contain synthetic ingredients originating from chemicals. Ingredients like preservatives, dyes, plastics, fragrances, emulsifiers and silicones not only negatively affect the health of your skin, but also pollute our planet.
