Japanese Skin Care Begins With Eating Habits
As we pause to take stock of the way our skin is looking and perhaps
worry about its dry and dull appearance, we rarely remember that a
lot of it has got to do with the way we ourselves are treating it.
It doesn't matter how much time and money we may lavish on
moisturizing and toning every day, it's what we are eating and
drinking that makes the difference.. Take a look at what affects
your skin on a daily basis:
-- less than satisfactory nutrition (no vegetables or fruits for me
today);
-- junk food (just one hamburger);
-- an overload of saturated fats ( just two hash browns for
breakfast);
-- too many beverages (how about that second cup of coffee?);
-- and polluted air and water.
Besides which, the earth's ecosystem is taking a real beating, and
we are feeling the effects.
We could all learn from Japanese skincare secrets and start to heal
our appearance from within. Start by going in for a healthy diet.
This means more natural grains like red rice, oats, and millet,
plenty of vegetables and fruits, more seafood and very little red
meat.
The Japanese have an additional element in their diet, which we
could all learn to add to our food to good effect. These are
vegetable products from the sea specifically types of algae called
kelp. They are broad-leaved tree-like plants that have long been
known to possess wonderful health-giving properties.
Avoiding highly processed and chemically laden ingredients, and
using paraben-free skincare products has multiple benefits for the
whole body The Japanese have long learned to use natural substances
in their cosmetics and skin care products. Secrets have been passed
down traditionally in families so that the younger generations
benefit from the age-old beauty secrets. Nourishing oils from rice
bran and almonds, moisturizing face packs made from vegetable and
fruits, and today the extract from Japanese kelp called Phytessence
Wakame.
While wakame that is ingested will no doubt nourish the whole body,
this concentrate of wakame is proven to help in soothing, firming
and protecting the skin. It is essentially an aging skin
moisturizer, nourishing it in a number of ways. The extract provides
at one go minerals, vitamins, an effective sunblock in the naturally
occurring substances it contains, and antioxidants.
Its most important aspect though its ability to block the action of
a enzyme called hyaloronidase, which works to break down the bonds
between collagen, keratin and elastin fibers that hold skin
together. By blocking the enzyme, the extract acts to reverse skin
aging. Wakame extract has been proven to reduce the action of this
enzyme by 50% within a week of starting to use it.
Phytessence Wakame offers you that incredible alternative, to heal
the damage that your skin has suffered with retrospective effect.
Start using it and see how your skin begins to revive and regain it
original luster and beauty.
