Anti-Aging, Hormone Friendly Skincare

After years of trying different “clean” skincare products, I have finally found something that has produced visible results & is safe for those on a journey of balancing their hormones & reducing toxic products.

I thought I’d struggle with large pores for the rest of my life because it was “genetic” from my grandfathers side. Well let me tell ya, that is NOT the case!

In just one wash using the Clearity (that’s designed for cleaning out & minimizing pores) my pores were purging gunk & shrinking up. This stuff is amazing!

Optimizing Skin Barrier

skin ph, acidic, alkaline, optimal skin

Let’s begin with some wildly important info to understand.

The skin has a barrier called the ACID MANTLE & it needs to be maintained at a specific pH to keep bacterial balance in check, prevent water loss & protect against environmental pollutants.

Most products on the market are too acidic or too alkaline which damages this barrier & causes bacterial imbalance (which can lead to acne, dryness, sensitivity & inflammation).

I first learned about this 5 years ago when we bought a Kangen water machine. It makes a specific pH balanced water called “Beauty Water” that’s designed to be a natural toner & great for the skin. It has a pH of 5.5 - 6 which is the perfect pH for optimal skin health. Once I started washing my face with this & using it as a toner several times a day, I really started to notice an increase in my skin’s hydration & “glowiness”.

(This slightly acidic water is also what makes my houseplants thrive! Healthy soil & thriving plants need the same pH balance as our skin!)

Using filtered & ionized water that is designed to support skin health along with this line of smartly designed skincare products will help you get the anti-aging results you’ve been looking for.

Acne & skin health is also very much INTERNAL

Another important thing to note is that what is happening on the inside of your body will show up on the outside of your body.

I personally struggled with terribly painful cystic acne for years until I did a stool test & discovered I had several bacterial infections wreaking havoc in my body.

After working on my gut health, removing the infections & balancing my hormones I found myself totally cystic acne-free for the first time in SO long!

From there on, I still struggled with whiteheads & clogged pores until I switched to washing & rinsing with the Beauty Water from our Kangen machine.

Soon after that, I quit wearing face makeup entirely which started to really decrease whiteheads. I highly recommend going through your makeup to find what could be aging your skin!

For a full list of pore-clogging ingredients & all of this in more detail, check out Emily Morrow’s Pore Clogger List. She’s the one who really brought all this information together for me & introduced me to Clearstem.

It wasn’t until recently when I switched to Clearstem that my forehead wrinkles really started to dissipate as well as any leftover, pesky clogged pores that were still lingering! This was a breakthrough moment for me that honestly gave me much relief & helped me worry much less about my the aging that comes along with a beautiful life. I’m feeling confident that I will be confident in my skin for a long time.

It has been a long journey of learning & unlearning. I used to get monthly facials with estheticians using spa-quality products but now I know their products had pore clogger ingredients which were keeping my skin in this perpetual “almost nice” state.

I am so glad to be sharing this knowledge with you & am so grateful for the clear skin I get to wake up with everyday. I pray you can also experience that & if you need help getting functional lab testing to get to the root cause or have questions about your skincare, please reach out! I’m happy to help.

Chemical Free Alternative to Botox

First of all, embrace whatever lifelines & expression lines you have - you look beautiful just the way you are!

At some point, most women notice their skin beginning to have wrinkles, smile lines & lack of elasticity. While there are unlimited skincare treatments out there, not many are non-toxic & chemical free (which is important when it comes to lymphatic & organ health!)

When I came across Frownies, I was so intrigued! It looked like a really fun clean beauty item that seemed to give some pretty amazing results - at a fraction of the price of other toxic skincare treatments - PLUS it was pregnancy safe!

After one night of use, I was truly hooked. I could see & feel a difference when I took them off for the first time.

The biggest change was the way the muscles in my face felt. They were calm & controlled and honestly my face felt very peaceful. It made me very aware of how often I scrunched my eyebrows during the day & how often I made funny faces when I was speaking. Learning to tone down my muscle use translated to a more state during the day, even when not using them! I belive they helped settle my nervous system to relax & stay longer in a parasympathetic state.

Family members who have tried them have gotten daily comments about what changes they must be making to their skincare routine. They really provide a more youthful facial expression & skin change for the better.

Frownies are a great alternative to injections & fillers if you’re trying to lower toxin exposure in your beauty routine.

Skin pH + Beauty Water

Did you know your skin has a certain ph that makes it thrive?

⁣I use a specific filtered, slightly acidic water called “Beauty Water” that comes right from our anti-aging water machine & is GREAT for toning & firming skin.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🚿Dermal absorption (the transport of a chemical from the outer surface of the skin to the inside of the body) is one of the most significant exposure pathways of chemicals & toxins. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🦠Once these chemicals (#pesticides#chlorine#fluoride, etc) are absorbed, they enter the bloodstream & spread throughout the cells of the body.⁣⁣

This can lead to horrible issues & side effects such as:⁣⁣⁣
😵Cancer⁣⁣⁣
🤰🏼Infertility⁣⁣⁣
❤️Heart disease⁣⁣⁣
🌬Asthma⁣⁣⁣
☄️Dermatitis & more⁣⁣⁣

Not only are these chemicals we absorb into our skin straight up poison, but tap water is also too alkaline for optimal bacterial flora.

In fact, optimal skin pH & the water you use on your skin should be slightly acidic✨(between 4.0-6.0) ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✏️“The effect of pH on adhesion of resident skin microflora was also assessed; an acid skin pH (4-4.5) keeps the resident bacterial flora attached to the skin, whereas an alkaline pH (8-9) promotes the dispersal from the skin.” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18489300)⁣⁣⁣

This specific water is not only AMAZING for washing your face but I also use it for:⁣⁣⁣
👼🏼Diaper rash spray⁣⁣⁣
💁🏼‍♀️Face toner⁣⁣⁣
🧖🏼‍♀️Hair rinse & detangler⁣⁣⁣
🐶Washing our doggies⁣⁣⁣
🍲Cooking beans (speeds up cooking time!)⁣⁣⁣
🥚Boiling eggs⁣⁣⁣
🌱Watering plants⁣
🧊Polishing glass, mirrors, eyeglasses⁣⁣⁣
And so much more.⁣⁣
