Christmas Swag Glory

This photo was well worth the 12 block treck in biting temperatures. I was moved by the unconventional use of colors, with pinks and purples. They added so much to this heather swag adorning a lovely historical home in Alexandria, Virginia. Note the addition of Pheasant feathers, this puts me in the holiday cheery mood for sure. Have the greatest Holidays and all the best from us here at Skin Pure Skin.

Colon Detox-Flatten that Holiday tummy

There are many colon detoxification products out there. Many can leave you feeling rather sick, a process called auto-intoxification, or make you literally run to the bathroom. I don't know about you, but I have a busy life and do not want to be rudely interrupted for the sake of a healthy colon.

Meet Oxy-Powder these little capsules help to slough off the internal dead stuff called mucoid plaque that keeps you from digesting all the wonderful nutrients from your foods.

Ever feel hungry all the time but you know you are eating enough? And with my own personal experience I lost one pant size in three days. Not fat, not water, just slow leftover, no nice way to put it, poop.

Oxy-powder is an oxygenated geranium vegetarian capsule that boosts your immune system. You take four powdered capsules with a full glass of water in the evening and then in the morning everything is completely liquified. I only do this once a week for a maintenance routine. Energy for the day is increased and that lower abdomen bump is lessened, you will have clearer skin for it too. Rejuvenate you skin, colon, and energy. I have only been able to find it online from GHC. I truly would go up a pant size without this easy feel good product. A must have.

Varicose veins and Bioflavonoids-A Pithy Thing

Varicose veins are unsightly yes, but they also cause some discomfort and for those not ready for the stripping surgery or saline collapsing procedures what can we do? Strengthen the veins naturally by eating Bioflavonoid rich foods. Some of which include-Green tea, grapes, wine, dark chocolate, and citrus fruit. These are full of anti-oxidants and help with inflammation, blood flow, keep skin radiant, and capillary permeability.

EAT THE PITH! The white flesh in between the rind and the fruit of citrus is pith and is loaded with bioflavonoids. It is bitter, so it is best eaten with the fruit to make it more palatable.

Silk Pillowcases-Reduce those Wrinkles

Sleeping on silk pillowcases has been know to reduce wrinkles. The American Academy of Dermatology cautions that sleeping in certain positions night after night leads to "sleep lines - wrinkles that become etched into the surface of the skin and don't disappear once you're up. Sleeping on your side increases wrinkles on cheeks and chin, while sleeping face-down gives you a furrowed brow. To reduce wrinkle formation, the AAD says, sleep on your back. For many people sleeping on their back is not ever going to happen because they have a habit of sleeping naturally in one position or another. 100% Silk retains the natural moisture of skin and hair and is extremely gentle. Your facial creams and moisturizers won't get absorbed into the silk as easily as they do cotton. Silk pillowcases have many benefits, not only are they a pleasure to sleep on with less tossing and turning, they are hypo-allergenic and resistant to dust mites. Sweet silky dreams.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMassage

Tight shoulders and worried minds release and relax with a therapeutic massage. If you haven't had one recently I highly recommend it for a stress buster. Massage can boost your immunity, helps with hypertension, clears toxins from the liver via the lymph nodes, which in turn will clear your skin. Whether you like deep work or Swedish, hot stones, Thai, or sports, massage is a great holistic tool to keep you relaxed and handling stress and life in general with less worry and easy of mind.
