THE 5 TRIGGERS OF SKIN PROBLEMS

1. Environment – this would include your home, your workplace, your city and anywhere you spend a lot of time. Some environmental triggers are: Pets: All animals with fur and feathers shed dander which is allergic to many people, In addition, flea collars, powders and shampoos contain toxic chemicals. Depending on where you live and your climate you may be exposed to other environmental triggers such as, pollen, mold, dust, household cleaning supplies, solvents, asbestos, pollution, automobile exhaust, etc.

2. Personal Care Products – Did you know that the average woman uses 12 difference personal care products (deodorant, hair spray, makeup, lipstick, lotions, cleansers, etc) everyday. The average man uses about 6. Most conventional skincare products contain petrochemicals, parabens, synthetic fragrances, urea, etc. Read the labels of your all those things you are putting on (and in) your body. The skin is very porous. If you can't pronounce many of the ingredients, they are probably not good for you. Find an organic, natural skin care line like Essona Organics (www.essona.com). Note: Hair colorings contain large amounts of toxins, so if you have skin problems on your scalp, neck and/or face, look to hair colorings as a probable culprit.

3. Diet – Whoever said' “You are what you eat” was right. You cannot expect to constantly eat nutritionally deficient food, laden with saturated fats, refined sugars, bleached flour, salt, nitrates and other chemicals and expect your body to be healthy. Garbage in, garbage out.

4. Stress - (job, money, spouse, relatives, grief) Is your body in a constant state of stress with no release? Some stress is good for you. It provides motivation to get things done but it should not be in an all consuming continuous state of stress. Your body and mind must have a healthy release such as: quality entertainment, hobbies, social interaction, laughter, exercise, etc.

5. Lifestyle Habits - (smoking, drinking, drugs) If you think you can keep smoking cigarettes and be healthy, you are fooling yourself. There is overwhelming evidence to the carcinogenic chemicals in cigarette smoke. If you want to be healthy, quit smoking. It doesn't matter how many doctors you see or how many medications you try, your health (and skin) problems will only increase if you smoke. Stop now! The same is true of excessive drinking of alcohol and use of drugs. It just makes sense, doesn't it?
