Tip 1: Hydrate yourself for a radiant skin
Water is essential for healthy skin, so we emphasize the importance of adequate water intake.
We recommend filtered water and herbal teas, which not only help with hydration but also support the liver's natural detoxification process (our body's filter).
By paying close attention to or avoiding alcohol, drugs, pesticides and medications, you can reduce the burden on the liver and thus prevent the accumulation of waste products in the lymphatic vessels.
In addition, we recommend using a mineral drink called 'Sole', which consists of a mixture of Celtic salt and water.
How do you make that?
- Fill a glass (jam) jar 1/3 with Celtic salt and 2/3 with water.
- Shake the mixture well, if a thin layer of salt appears on the bottom, this is say that the water is saturated with salt.
- You can use the sole by adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of the salt solution to a bowl daily. glass of water for a good mineral balance.
- Also works well against headaches and fatigue and has a detoxifying effect.
Extra: Alternate your water with coconut water, herbal tea or water with mint/lime, ginger and/or cucumber for good hydration!
Extra tip: use filtered water, so that all chemicals are filtered out of your water. Store in a dark place. Now on to the summer nutrition tips.
Tip 2: Protect your skin from within
Diet can play a powerful role in protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Fruits like strawberries, kiwis, and blackberries are packed with vitamin C and other plant nutrients that are important as natural sun protection. Eating these fruits regularly can help reduce your chances of getting a sunburn and keep your skin healthy.
Tip 3: Eat foods rich in antioxidants
