Use The Principals of Homeopathy For Effective Yet Gentle Skin Care

Homeopathic medicine was discovered by a German physician by the name of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He discovered that quinine bark, a conventional medicine of malaria, can cause the same level of malaria fevers when taken in by a healthy person.

As he continued his research he determined that some plants that could cause certain symptoms to a healthy person could cure an ailing person.  This led Dr Hahnemann to create treatments based on the principle that illness occurs when imbalance exists, which is now the main tenet of homeopathy.

Homeopathy can be used to treat any condition physical and mental, which, of course, includes imbalances that present as skin problems.  I have tapped into some of these natural remedies for my chemical free skin care line because of my own personal experience with the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine as well as the fact that Homeopathy heals without hurting and, best of all, treats the root causes of the imbalance/illness so we can eliminate the problem once and for all!.

Sevani skin care products are made by using minute percentages of a natural plant or mineral ingredient, just as in homeopathy.  By doing so, an effective, yet gentle remedy is created to treat and balance skin conditions as opposed to using harsh chemicals and toxins only to block the symptoms of the still underlying problem.

Products that contain plant extracts and minerals chosen for their homeopathic qualities, like those in the Sevani skin care line, can be beneficial to all skin types in many different ways:

  • These products are gentle on your skin- synthetic ingredients are not comparable molecules to human skin cells, and, as a result, offer little to no benefit real benefit. Products made with all natural ingredients on the other hand support the natural texture of your skin, which makes it ideal for skin regeneration, all the while being so gentle they’re safe to use on your most delicate skin.
  • They help in skin renewal- Plant extracts and minerals can stimulate cell production. This will prevent premature aging and help prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • They’ll effectively moisturize your skin- Regardless of your skin type, your skin will be able to retain moisture and this too helps in the prevention of fine lines on the skin and is important for overall skin health.
  • They’ll tone and firm your skin too -Your skin will look firmer and will have self-healing abilities that have been masked by all the chemicals and toxins often used in make up and skin care products.
  • And, you’ll have a healthy complexion- Using chemical free skin care products that contain antioxidants, like those used in Sevani, help give your skin an even tone and a natural, healthy glow.

If you have problematic skin that is dry, oily, sensitive, or have blemishes, then the use of homeopathic skin care products is the gentlest way to take care of your skin condition.

Foods for the Skin!

One of the secrets to beautiful skin is proper nutrition.  It is no secret that junk foods like soda and fries can contribute to aging. The foods you eat can and will eventually show in your skin. Why is this? Your internal organs such as your liver, kidneys, adrenals, thyroid, and intestines are the ones responsible in breaking down the food and drinks you take in and if your diet is less than ideal, you are putting pressure on these organs. And guess what?  Your SKIN is the largest organ of the body.  An unhealthy diet and poor quality products can lead to breakouts, dry skin, or accelerated aging.  Below are some foods that can help you achieve more beautiful skin.

1.      Nuts and Salmon- These foods are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and zinc. You may have heard how the Mediterranean diet works wonders on the skin?  Salmon is considered one of the best sources of Omega fatty acids.  Almonds, Walnuts and sunflower seeds are  also great alternatives.   Omega-3 fatty acids help the skin by fighting skin problems like dryness and inflammation. It also helps in promoting healthy heart arteries which contributes to improved circulation. Zinc helps metabolize testosterone, a component that is responsible for producing sebum which is a primary cause of acne.

2.      Citrus fruits- Vitamin C is one of the healthiest things you can do for your skin. This vitamin helps in the production of collagen. Reduced collagen content in your skin can lead to sagging. It also helps fight free radical as because of its antioxidant properties. Fruits like blueberries, pomegranate, strawberries and oranges are rich in vitamin C as are many vegetables.  In general, the brighter or richer the color, the higher the antioxidant content.

3.      Red and green vegetables- Your skin needs the extra vitamin A and beta-carotene. Orange-red vegetables are rich in beta-carotene which our bodies convert to vitamin A. Vitamin A has antioxidant properties that helps with the prevention of premature aging. This vitamin is also used in acne medications. You can also get your vitamin A from green leafy vegetables.
Kale is one of our favorites for high vitamin and mineral content.  Broccoli, spinach and avocado are also great foods for the skin.

Make sure to also eliminate hydrogenated fats, refined sugars and flour and processed foods.  These highly processed foods can elevate blood sugar leading to skin inflammation which accelerate aging.  In addition, try to add in some moderate exercise such as yoga or walking, improving circulation also improves the skin.

Start the fight against accelerated skin aging by making a choice to eat the right kinds of foods. Remember that when you are healthy on the inside, it shows on the outside.

Aside from eating skin-friendly foods, you should also adapt an all-natural skin care regimen which you can learn more about here. Sevani products are “food for the skin”.

A professional skin consultation is available by emailing info@theskinspecialist.com can also help you put together the right skin care regimen for you.

Sevani: Cruelty Free, Vegan, Non GMO, Safe Effective Skin Care

There are so many ingredients found in nature that high performing skincare need not contain animal derived ingredients or synthetics.  We believe products must be cruelty free, and they must not contain animal ingredients or do harm to the environment.  We do not believe in using any products created from or by animals.  Vegan skincare products will not contain items like beeswax, honey, lactic acid, eggs or animal fats; they are literally all natural botanical products that provide exceptional care for your skin.

Why is non-GMO important?  A GMO is a genetically modified organism (also called “genetically engineered”): a plant, animal, or microorganism that is created by means that overcome natural boundaries. Genetic engineering involves crossing species that could not breed in nature. For example, genes from a fish have been placed in strawberries and tomatoes.

Leaping bunny:  Leaping bunny is the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics.  This program administers a cruelty-free standard and the Leaping Bunny Logo is an internationally recognized standard for companies producing products that have the best assurance that no animal testing is used in any phase of production development.  This includes the laboratory stage of ingredient development.  Sevani took the pledge and offers certified cruelty free products.
