Your skin acts as a window to your internal processes. Many of your etheric body’s invisible ebbs and flows are made apparent by observable changes in your skin.
In order to more fully understand the relationship between your inner health and skin health, let’s take a look at a few of the factors that can cause skin to appear dull, faded or wrinkled.
Hormones
Your skin is ever changing in response to a variety of factors, the most notable of which is hormones. During your teenage years, a surge in hormones caused sebaceous glands to increase in size, which may have resulted in unsightly acne. A woman’s pregnancy glow can be attributed to an increase in skin-nourishing hormones, too.
As we age, however, hormone production decreases and skin becomes more susceptible to wrinkle-causing hormones that discourage the production of collagen and elastin. If you’d like to slow aging and fix your skin health, supplements that prohibit skin-damaging hormones from developing can have a noticeably positive effect on skin’s appearance.
Vitamins
Getting all of the necessary vitamins and minerals your body needs to function properly can greatly benefit your skin. Though any major deficiencies won’t be immediately apparent to the naked eye, any extended amount of time without adequate supplies of vitamins will leave cells unnourished and less able to regenerate important proteins and acids that fight aging.
A well-balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables will boost your body’s natural, internal skin support systems. Your body uses the vitamins and minerals found in these foods to strengthen and moisturize skin from the inside out, so keep plenty of plant based foods on your plate.
Genetics
The rate and appearance of your skin over time is largely determined by your DNA. If you have a family history of youthful, toned skin, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. For the most part, there isn’t a magic pill or supplement that can fully combat the way your genes tell your skin cells to behave.
Luckily, there is much that can be done to slow the aging process. Foods and supplements that boost collagen production and fight the free radicals that can cause expedited aging perform their magic from the inside out, working at the cellular level to fight wrinkles and sagging skin.
Hydration
The human body is mostly water, and that goes for skin, too. Dehydrated skin is more prone to environmental damage, which can accelerate the effects of again. A few too many dehydrated days, and you’re likely to see dry, tight or flaky skin.
If your skin spends too much time in a dehydrated state, you’re likely to see irreversible damage. Getting enough water is crucial to keep your skin healthy and toned. As well, many oral supplements or quantum pendants can boost your skin’s moisture from inside, going double duty on skin hydration.
Illness
There’s a reason you appear paler or more shallow when you are ill. Changes in your skin’s appearance could be a result of allergic reactions or internal illness. Rashes, patches or differences in color can all indicate something is amiss beneath the surface.
Many sicknesses initially manifest as pitta skin conditions. Most of the time, a rash or unusual patch is nothing to worry about. If you observe any noticeable changes that have you worried, call it in and visit your doctor if anything seems seriously off.
Overall Wellness
Your skin’s appearance is a reflection of your inner energy potential. When fatigued, overworked or stressed, your skin will surely show it. A lack of total wellness affects your aura in more ways than one.
Time spent de-stressing and becoming more attuned with your higher self can work wonders on your skin. Not only will you feel more refreshed on the inside, but your outer glow will reflect your inner peace.
Create space in your schedule to connect your intentions to ideal outcomes you hope to manifest. The more mindful and connected to you are to your internal health, the healthier your skin will appear on the outside. By taking adequate care of your internal health, your skin will thank you for years to come.
