Food for your skin


1.You know Im gonna go there, dont you?!COCONUT OIL:Unrefined and non-hydrogenated coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids that act as antioxidants and fight free radical damage.Free radical damage helps cause wrinkles. Coconut oil  also helps remove dead skin cells which can also make your skin look smoother and younger. It helps with fine lines, sagging skin and stretch marks. Its best to apply your oil before bed on a freshly cleansed face I do mine an hour before bed. Gently massage the oil into skin with an up and outward motion try not to just rub it in. Trust me this works.
Coconut oil has too many benefits to list but here are just a few....
                                            Thanks rawforbeauty.com I love your site.

2.Please pass the HONEY : Yup! Raw honey for wrinkles!Before pasteurization, honey contains bee pollen, propolis, and other components that stimulate the growth of new skin. Honey has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries even by the ancient Egyptians because of its antiseptic properties and as a natural skin care product.Honey contains mild alpha hydroxy acids, such as gluconic acid these are safe acids to use on our skin and are able to increase elasticity, balance out oily skin, stimulate collagen production, and minimize lines and wrinkles, thus making you look younger.Like coconut oil it reduces the damage done by free radicals as well and is a great facial moisturizer. To make a honey mask simply wash your face with a gentle cleanser pat dry. Apply a very thin layer of raw honey it will be messy!!!! But worth it! Leave on for 10- 15 min. Rinse off, Pat dry. Your skin will instantly feel smooth and plump. This is one of my favorite masks because it smells soooo sweet. Remember before starting to put your hair up and clear of area you are going to put honey on.

3.My favorite morning breakfast.... PAPAYA!!!!
The pulp of the papaya fruit can help reduce wrinkles. Papayas contain an enzyme called papain that is known as a digestive enzyme that can also help repair wrinkles.Papayas help rebuild the elastin thereby rebuilding healthy skin and  preventing wrinkling.Papaya Facial Mask:To make a papaya facial mask, select a green papaya, one that is not yet fully ripe. Mash one half of the papaya and combine with a tablespoon of honey. Cleanse the face with warm water and apply the papaya mask. Leave on for a half hour and then rinse off. This can be repeated twice a week to help rebuild skin and prevent wrinkles.So many benefits.....

4.Pumpkin seeds
 :They contain zinc, which promotes cell repair and growth, and is a key member of a group of enzymes that helps to maintain skin’s collagen supply. Without zinc, the enzymes that rebuild new collagen do not function properly. In addition to preventing wrinkles, Zinc also prevents and aids in the healing of stretch marks, cellulite, and other outward signs of aging. I have no pumpkin seed mask to share but pumpkin seeds are yummy. I like to eat them raw which can be purchased at a health food store or online can be added to trail mix. Short on time? I buy Kind healthy grain bars at my local market that contain pumpkin seeds they are really tasty.You can make a pumpkin mylk...find the recipe in Ani phyo's book Ani's Raw food kitchen or search online.

5. WATER
: Hydration is key.One of the causes of wrinkles is lack of moisture. Making sure our skin stays hydrated helps prevent wrinkles. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day in order to remain healthy. Water helps us to get rid of the toxins and unwanted waste materials from our body.Our bodies are like 60-65% water so of course we need to replenish it every chance we get.

The above listed remedies are also great for the treatment of acne.Of course a healthy lifestyle in general is the best we can give our bodies and if we are kind to it then believe me it will be kind to us. There are thousands of remedies we could use to help prevent aging and treating existing wrinkles but of course as usual I listed my favorite five. If you have one you felt should have made the list please feel free to share.
