Introduction

Smoother, younger-looking skin in seven days. Guaranteed or your money back. How many times have you fallen for that marketing ploy? Most cosmetic companies are adept at knowing which buttons to push to entice you to purchase their merchandise and empty your wallet in a flash, with promises of restored youth. These companies prey on your emotions and insecurities, all in the guise of making you look and feel better about yourself. But the cosmetics and body-care industry is in business solely to make money and skin-care products have one of the highest price markups of any commodity on the market.

In contrast, Herbal Remedies for a Lifetime of Healthy Skin takes a holistic approach to skin care. Healthy skin is directly related to proper skin care, sound nutrition, and a sensible wellness program. While we often dont consider our skin as a functioning part of our bodies, it is in fact the bodys largest organ. Your skin is constantly transmitting and receiving information. If something is amiss, your skin displays signs of distress. If all is well, it displays radiance. Natural and herbal remedies can enhance your overall health as well as treat the more specific conditions of the skin. However, you must keep in mind that at any age, health within is reflected by beautiful skin without. To age gracefully, you must first live healthfully.
