TheDoctorsTV and Healthy Skin: Glitter, Natural Beauty, and Skin Care for Real People
If you are the type of person who insists upon piling on tons of make-up, perfume, lotions and potions that contain artificial chemical ingredients; then this information may come as a surprise for you.
If you are genuine, real, and authentic human being; then you really do want to know how to keep your skin healthy with natural methods. For the natural way to healthy skin, less is more… You do not need to layer on all that make-up and use tons of product to be radiantly beautiful and enjoy healthy skin.
TheDoctorsTV began their new season today with a discussion about whether men can appreciate natural beauty in a woman. There were mixed opinions, especially from Dr. Lisa who thinks her men cannot handle the bare naked truth of a woman’s body.
Well, for me – it’s all natural or nothing at all! As the largest organ of your body, your skin is more than a protective organ…it helps to regulate temperature and carries out other important functions as well. Skin cells are shed and renewed on a daily basis and it’s extremely important to maintain some healthy skin care practices to support your skin in aging gracefully. You can replace collagen and elasticity with whole foods and herbal formulations. You can support skin function with minerals like boron, silica, and zinc.
Dr. Drew knows the skin extremely well. He watches how his patients age, sag, stretch, lose volume, lose moisture, and become depleted without proper care. He fixes faces that are showing the ravages of time and lack of healthy management.
Dr. Travis described how soaps work to cleanse the skin. The guest expert shared her knowledge about skin’s slight acidity which is a causal factor in irritation of the skin’s surface from the synthetic chemicals in many products. She suggested a product with more moisturizer to enable to skin to sail through pregnancy and age well. You want to select body washes and soaps that are ideal for your skin type. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry that brings people hundreds of brands and thousands of variations between types of product you have to choose from for caring for your skin. It confuses most people!
Do any of you remember when we sighed a sigh of relief when Rachel Perry introduced her first line of healthy natural skin care products. We finally had a natural lip balm to use! Now there are dozens of natural skin care companies who make excellent products which will not irritate your skin.
Let’s get back to glitter for a second. Unless you are meticulous about cleansing your skin from the glitter after each use, avoid it. If you have to glitter to adorn your body with sparkles; then get the glitter in your clothing…not on your skin.
If you expect to adequately moisturize your skin, you need to take care of your skin with both external AND internal nutrition. Avocado, oatmeal, shea butter, and other healthy oils can contribute to maintaining the moisture retention in our skin. The amount of salt and electrolytes also play an important role in this process of moisturizing your skin. If your body doesn’t manage fluid metabolism properly; then you can become dehydrated and your skin suffers.
A spatula? Really? It does serve a purpose in both the kitchen and to reach your back, but there are better implements to use for your back.
Find a friend, coral the husband, play with your partner, but by all means get someone to spend some time massaging your back, introducing healthy Essential Oils to your back, and supporting the health of the skin where someone can reach it more easily than when you try to wrap your arms and hands to reach your back. This is what skin care and massage therapy professionals can offer you. They can help you care for the skin and the muscles of your back. You might want to get a good massage weekly as well as when you push your body too hard on occasion. Dr. Lisa expressed her appreciation for and need of a good massage for her shoulders, neck, and back. You deserve it…The exfoliation that the skin expert on TheDoctorsTV described that she performs in her clinic is useful for your skin. You can go to the spa, to a professional office like hers, or do this for your skin and body at home. Even Dr. Jim enjoyed the care of his feet while in the medical spa segment on this show.
The most unusual part of the medical spa segment was the treatment for the armpit area. Very few people realize how important the lymph nodes and skin are in this area. Goat’s milk was identified as a good choice of a substance that helps to keep this area healthy along with a nice gentle massage for lymphatic circulation.
The Clear Skin Cocktail that Dr. Travis told his audience about is supposed to help your skin enjoy a veritable fountain of youth. The ingredients are both natural and nourishing. Red wine, lemon, and berries have been used by many cultures for centuries. Blue Agave Nectar is a great sweetener. We think that you might find that a little more than sliced lemon is ideal. Squeeze some organic fresh lemon juice into this concoction to enhance it. If you cannot drink red wine, then you may replace wine with grape juice that’s organic.

Sun damage to your skin can put you at risk for skin cancer, nearly as much as using skin care products with synthetic chemical ingredients. Some sun is going to help your body produce Vitamin D, but too much sun will injure your skin, aging it prematurely. Sunblock that’s natural is the ideal solution, but your time management outdoors in the sunlight is even more important.

Looks like a smartly written post and supporting comments that you have here. I should point out that other sites may make a different case, particularly in regards to natural health. Has anyone here seen additional related ideas on the Internet, and could you point me in that direction?
