The House of Skin: Repair and Renew Your Exterior In A Few Simple Steps!

italian roof shingles like skin careMany new clients come in for a skin care service expecting great results in an hour long treatment.   Upon consultation many say they want to improve texture, skin tone and/or prevent aging.   While there are many exceptional benefits from a customized facial treatment, the use of quality skin care products on a daily basis is also essential to maintaining proper skin health and enabling your skin to do it’s job well.

Often I ask my clients “if your roof leaks would you repair it”?  The answer is always “yes”.

Well, you’ve got to do the same for your skin.

The body is considered by many to be the house of the soul, and your skin acts as the roof and siding of this sacred house. Just as these exterior pieces protect the traditional house and it’s contents from the harsh environment outside, our skin is designed to protect everything that’s “inside” our entire body!

To maintain the integrity of a home we have to often replace some shingles, right?  This the same as needing to turn over newer, healthy skin cells.  Now, we don’t sand shingles as that could make the wood underneath crack and leak with improper pressure.  The same is true for your skin.

Instead, we recommend a very mild means of naturally replenishing skin cells (shingles) like gentle organic fruit acids, enzymes, and regenerative vitamins so as to not scratch and abrade which can cause leaking capillaries or damage underlying tissue.  By increasing cellular turnover we totally replace old sluggish cells with newer healthy ones, just as we would the exterior of our home.  By doing so our skin is better able to do it’s overall job and look spectacular while doing it!

What comes next?  Protection!

Just as you need to seal the roof and often the siding too for extra protection from damage, you need to do the same for the skin.  Unlike most homes today though you can protect your skin without the use of high powered chemicals.

Instead, natural skin care formulations like our signature berry blend derived from Acai, Goji, Amalaki, and Sea Buckthorn berries offers a high powered boost of antioxidants and Vitamin C which work to protect your skin from free radical damage and accelerated aging.

Also, look for products containing Essential Fatty Acids, Amino Acid Peptides, Botanical Extracts, and Essential Oils  that will work hard to naturally protect and rejuvenate the skin via their anti-aging and restorative properties.

What’s Inside Affects The Exterior Of The Home Too

Although this discussion is about caring for the exterior of your sacred “home”, what’s inside affects what’s outside too.  No point in having good things on the outside when what’s on the inside can damage them.  A diet full of fresh organic fruit and veggies, Omega Fatty Acids, and the proper amount of water will keep skin healthy from the inside out and will enhance the effectiveness of the the skin care products you’re using to repair and protect the skin on the outside too!

Care for your skin naturally and effectively and give it as much ( maybe even more!) attention as you give your home.  Regular use of high quality skin care products will enhance not only your skin’s appearance, but, the overall health and wellness of your entire body!  Treat your skin gently and it will only treat you well in return by protecting all the precious contents of your unique and beautiful “home”.
