Healthy skin is window to your Health

When you see someone with crystal clear skin, they almost glow with good health. If one is sick with a cold flu or worse, the face is the first sign something is wrong, they may have pallor, or dark circles, a frown, and generally do not glow. They may try to cover it up but the skin gives tells the true situation.

'Exposure to the sun, stress, a diet lacking in nutrients and too little sleep all damage your skin, and it's no use slathering on moisturiser and hoping for the best."While small serves of stress can be good for you, chronic stress can block valuable enzyme reactions in the body," explains nutritionist Karen Fischer, author of The Healthy Skin Diet. "The first symptoms of unmanaged stress often include fatigue and dull-looking skin. If you don't learn to relax, premature wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes and skin breakouts can soon follow."

This intriguing book is written by an Australian nutritionist with a holistic viewpoint, and has many, many good sensible guidelines for inner health as well as common skin conditions that are often treated symptomatically by the medical fraternity. There is no cure for eczema they will say, you just have to learn to live with it...! But there are answers out there.
