Introduction
Your skin is the most remarkable feature on your body and to take care of it in a gentle, healthy manner, you do what any other person would do- you go to the beauty store. The beauty industry has manufactured vast amounts of glowing, colorful bottles of body butterseach with its own inviting string of words, each proclaiming that itll reduce your aging, your sunspots and your dry skin!
Yet as you look at the back of the bottle at the label you see ingredient names you cant even pronounce. Multi-syllable, foreign chemical names that bring no understanding to the Moisturizes and Nourishes Skin! emblazoned on the front of the container. Ingredients that ensure you that this magic potion, despite its assurances that it will create a better, more vibrant you, is actually a villain in your beauty regiment. Its packed with chemicals and inorganic substances the beauty industry expects you to absorb into your very precious skin. In fact, research shows that one in eight of the thousands and thousands of ingredients utilized in these inorganic beauty products are things like pesticides, carcinogens, and hormone disruptors.
Stop supporting the beauty industry and look, instead, to the organic world for safe beauty products that provide a luxurious, more supple skin tone, a reduction in wrinkles and better-fortified skin layers. Each of your skin layers is complex, working to create a barrier that brings a sense of beauty while also providing mechanisms for pathogen-attack. Your lifestyle is occasionally haphazard, occasionally wrought with hardship. But your skin doesnt have to reflect these stressors. Instead, revitalize your skin layers with natural ingredients like avocado oil, coconut oil, and tallow. Utilize ingredients that work alongside your skin cells, boost your elasticity and strengthen your deep skin cell layers!
This book will show you how to enrich your skin cells with do-it-yourself organic body butter recipes as well as help you understand the health benefits of an organic lifestyle. You will learn the very unique preservative measures you must take in order to store and maintain your prepared body butters and create for yourself a unique and healthy ritual that brings assurance to your interior cells and takes the beauty industrys hands out of your pocketbook. The planet offers you everything your body requires to find rejuvenation and sun-kissed skin glow. Your skin is your greatest organ and you must begin to treat it that way!
Chapter 1: The Road to Vibrant, Glowing Skin
The First Steps to Healthier Skin
Your skin is your largest organ. It is your continual protectant, the warrior-zone between your dangerous, pathogen-rich environment and your interior organs. In addition, its an incredible, healing machine that can repair itself in just a few days as it absorbs important vitamins such as sun-infused vitamin D. It is your exterior; it is what you show to the world when you step outside every day. It is your cute freckles; it is your deep, olive complexion. It is everything.
Why dont you treat it better?
Sure, you try. You lace it with chemical-laden lotions, creams and body butters and expect it to hold up to age, sun-damage, and junk food. Every day, your skin tires just a little bit, skin cells die out, and suddenly, your skin feels just a little bit older. A little more tired.
You can reverse these effects by treating your interior body well. You can utilize organic, made-at-home body butters and you can finally see your wrinkles clearing themselves from your trouble spots by understanding the very cellular structure of your skin cells and the ways in which you can fuel yourself from the inside.
The Skin: Your Nourishment and Protectant Boundary
Your skin contains two layers, both working constantly to repair and boost a healthy exterior you. The top layer is the epidermis and the bottom layer is the dermis. The stuff in between is called subcutaneous fat, which lends your skin a little pep, a little elasticity.
Epidermis: Your Exterior Shell
The epidermis is your very exterior, providing both your hair and your skin tone. Your epidermis, however, is not a single layer on its own. In fact, it contains several layers, working together to maintain a healthier structure.
The deepest epidermis layer is called the basal cell layer. Look to this layer for the powerhouse factory, the place in which millions of your skin cells are created every single day to replace the ones you dust off around the world. Cells continually divide in this layer, pushing the rest of the skin cells in the factory up toward your epidermis ceiling, or your exterior. This constant push allows your skin to look plump and youthful; unfortunately, this cell division, most notably, slows as you age.
The basal cell layer is fueled from lower blood vessels in the dermis, or the lower layer of your skin. As blood vessels stride toward your exterior, they bring nutrients from the food you eat. Therefore, if youve been munching on nothing but cookies for a few dayspost breakup, weve all been thereyour exterior skin cells are lacking some very important nutrients. Not only that: theres an engrained link between trans fat, sugar, carbohydrates, and unfortunate, exterior acne and aging spots.
