Clear, Glowing Skin

Clear, Glowing Skin

 Helpful facts about your skin:


When most dermatologists look at your skin, their goal is to suppress skin problems, but I want to encourage you to take a different look at skin because it’s trying to give you clues about your overall health. Your skin is your magic mirror providing an outward sign of your inner health. When your hormones, digestion, blood sugar, immune system, or other body systems are out of balance, it can show up on your skin.

When you ignore its messages, you’re missing an opportunity. And, if you continue to avoid the true underlying causes, your health can be impacted in other ways. For example, I’ve seen patients with eczema later develop asthma and autoimmune diseases because they ignored their magic mirror.
Medications, such as antibiotics and steroids, suppress skin symptom but can create further imbalances. These treatments are overused and often used too quickly without first considering more natural options. Antibiotics can kill off harmful bacteria, but they also destroy the beneficial bacteria in and on our bodies at the same time, which can actually worsen the problem. In addition, antibiotic resistance due to over and misuse has become a real problem.
