Design Your Own Skin Cream Depending on Your Needs

Feed the skin you're in. We pay a lot of money for designer products, but what kind of ingredients are these "designers" using?  In the last few blog posts we talked about how the skin is a window into health.

Our skin can be a predictor of internal illness or disease before it grows into something serious. Taking care of our skin can be a regular way of 'checking in' on our inner terrain.

Once we realize how important our skin is as a predictor of health, we learn to nourish it with the ingredients it's crying out for. That may be an anti-itch cream, anti-inflammatory, or anti-microbial cream.

Making your own cream might feel herculean, but the benefits are sure worth it when you need to customize particular ingredients to feed your skin what it needs. When I started writing my other post, Beauty is Only Skin Deep...Uh, Not I wanted to include a recipe for a simple beauty cream. It just got wayyyy too long, so I've included the recipe below. But, the original post is still very interesting. It gives several identifiers for learning to read the skin's health, how outer beauty can only be tended from the inside, and where to start in terms of nutrition in learning about managing health and beauty.

Beauty is Only Skin Deep....Uh, Not

Picture
Maia and I in Ashland, Oregon (March, 2015)
Achieving health and beauty from the outside-in is impossible. Here’s why.

The human body is made up a 50 trillion cells. Every second each cell in your body coordinates billions of chemical reactions. Every day your heart beats 100,000 times pumping 7,500 litres of blood through 59,520 miles (96,000 kms) of vessels if you're a child. 100,000 vessels if you're an adult through three different kinds: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Every month you completely regenerate your outer layer of skin.
 
Did you just catch that? Every month we completely regenerate our outer layer of skin. Once we start taking better care of our self and health we see an immediate difference in our skin.

What does that mean, self-care? And how can we start taking better care of our health, from the inside-out, to  see that beautiful reflection of health in our skin?

It is different for everyone.

Love the Skin You're In - Mobu and Transdermal Medicine

Picture
What the heck is a Mobu?

At the end of last summer I met an amazing woman named Tricia in Anchorage, Alaska. She’ll admit that she kinda cyber stalked me for a few months before we were finally able to get together, but I’m glad she stuck with me despite my hella crazy schedule. Why? Because she introduced me to Mobu Herbals.

We  rushed to an impromptu meeting in the height of the Alaskan summer, bolstered up by the 24 hour sun. It was literally as Tricia had some time and I had a spare hour to burn. I rushed down to my selected meeting place, The Kaladi Brothers Coffee Company.

Apple Cider Vinegar Bath 

Picture
This ain't your momma's bath.....oh wait, eh, maybe it is?  Most natural minded folks know about the benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar:
  • for increasing acid in the gut,
  • cleansing
  • providing enzyme rich nutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron (many of which most people are deficient in),
But get this ... soaking in this raw, unfiltered cider has outside benefits as well.

Strength is Beautiful  

Picture
There are certain things which when 'seen' cannot be unseen. For example, while working out at the gym last week, cycling as if I was evading a pack of wild dogs, which is to say for my life, I looked up at one of the many T.V.'s mounted to the wall. What I saw shocked and amazed me. A woman was running up a steep hill with a huge medicine ball on her shoulders. Then, a second clip showed her squatting a massive amount of weight, which should have rendered her lame, but she did it while looking flawless.

When a Master Finds Meaning, Life Blooms

Picture

Some teachers are naturally gifted when it comes to spotting our trouble spots or as Dr. Wayne Dyer calls them, ‘Erroneous Zones.’ These zones are the negative thought patterns so ingrained in our daily consciousness that we can’t see them for ourselves. The greatest teachers pause, listen deeply, and identify our strengths and weaknesses. They aren’t afraid to hurt our feelings by telling us the naked truth. They disarm us with meaning, often times brutal, but always for our own betterment.
Sometimes these masters are unrecognizable to the masses. They work diligently in classrooms, trek quietly up mountainsides, or even serve drinks as our neighborhood bartender.

Magic Mushrooms 

The Healing Power of Shrooms

Originally published in Pure E Women's Magazine, 2006
by Aimee Grant, Skin Care and Health Consultant
We all know about the psychedelic properties of mushrooms. Whether you've partaken and experienced these hallucinogenic benefits, well...we'll never know, but what about their other healing properties?

Mushrooms for healthy skin? Yes, they are becoming very popular in skin care products. For example, one of the key ingredients in Japanese mushrooms is Kojic Acid, which brightens the complexion. For more than 3,000 years Asians have revered mushrooms for their ability to improve health, preserve youth, enhance longevity and restore balance in the body
