As much as you may accept the fact that you’re growing older, it can be troubling to notice new wrinkles, dark spots or other visible signs that your skin is aging — especially when you feel great on the inside.

Who wants to look older than you feel?

This may explain why Americans spent nearly $100 billion last year on gimmicky “anti-aging” beauty creams, lotions, potions and potentially dangerous procedures.[1]

But what most people — even many of the so-called experts — don’t realize is that there are two primary underlying causes of skin aging. And if you don’t address them both, you’ll be hard pressed to maintain a healthy, youthful-looking skin into your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond.

What’s worse, most beauty products contain harsh chemicals that may improve the look of your skin temporarily, but in doing so, actually cause more damage in the long run! It’s true — I’ll tell you more in a moment, but first, let me introduce myself.

What Causes Wrinkles, Sagging Skin and Dry Spots?

There are two simple underlying causes of skin aging: lack of nutrients and dehydration.

As you age, your skin loses the ability to produce the nutrients that protect it from the damaging effects of things like the sun’s UV rays, pollution and free radicals. It also loses the ability to hold water in its cells. As a result, the skin begins to lose its firmness and elasticity, leading to wrinkles, sagging and dryness.

In order to keep your skin looking young and healthy, you need an effective means to:

1) provide your skin with the nutrients it needs for protection and

2) keep water in your skin cells — without the toxic chemicals found in most beauty creams that can actually accelerate aging in the long run.

And by the way, caring for your skin is not just a matter of vanity.

Your skin is a complex organ that serves as a protective barrier, and its aging not only affects how old you look, but can also expose you to significant health risks from infection and exposure to environmental chemicals and UV radiation.

Radiant and glowing skin has long been associated with good health. What the skin care industry would have you believe is that healthy skin is achieved from the outside through treatments. The truth is, healthy skin is achieved from the inside out.

While you may try to improve the health of your skin from the outside, truly healthy skin is achieved by building from the inside out through key nutrition and dietary supplements. What you can do for your skin through diet and nutrition far exceeds what the skin care industry can with their approach.

Common skin conditions can often be treated much more effectively through natural processes involving your personal nutrition choices. Conventional dermatology simply cannot compete with what good nutrition can do for your skin.

You have the power to get your skin healthy and glowing.

It’s ultimately up to you

Don’t rely solely on conventional dermatology when you may be able to get better results naturally

Your skin is a natural, dynamic, living tissue. It makes sense that it will only stay healthy and vibrant if it is maintained by healthy natural means as opposed to the often toxic solutions of the skin care and dermatology industry.

You’ve probably heard the myth that natural medicine is not backed up by scientific research

Don’t be fooled. Natural medicine is strongly rooted in scientific research. Claims to the contrary are simply not true.

One of the most prevalent myths about natural medicine is that it isn’t scientific. But in truth, most common illnesses have greater support in medical literature for a natural approach concerning remedies than do prescription drugs and risky surgery. The natural way is almost always better.

Unfortunately, you are probably unaware of the natural alternatives to conventional medicine and dermatology. Taking the natural approach to your skin care can put you on the path to lifelong healthy skin. Don’t believe the lie that conventional medicine is your only option.

Find out how you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the harsh treatments found in the skin care industry.

You can get the specific nutrients and naturopathic treatments your skin needs to be healthy and glowing

You can get the nutrients your skin needs without the help of a dermatologist. It’s simply a matter of understanding what foods you need to eat in order to get them. You can also get these vital nutrients through healthy supplements like capsules and drops.

By eating a Mediterranean diet, you can get many if not all of the nutrients your skin craves for good health. It’s a diet rich in plant based foods, regular consumption of fish, olive oil, healthy amounts of dairy and yogurt, nuts, low in sugar, and very low in meat and poultry.

Remember that your skin is living tissue, and its health is ultimately determined by what nutrition you choose to put in your body. Make sure you’re doing your part through diet and supplements to give your skin that healthy glow you’ve always wanted.
