Even though this simple 2-step routine will go a long way toward clearing up your dry skin, it’s not the best way to ensure a healthy epidermis. The absolute best thing you can do for your skin actually has nothing to do with soaps, body crèmes, or exfoliants! Hydration One of the biggest problems with eating an unhealthy cooked food diet is the simple fact that this diet is extremely dehydrating. Why?� Two reasons: 1.�� �The food is cooked, meaning that much of the water has been drawn out via heating. 2.�� �Most cooked food staples are full of irritating salt, spices, and condiments that draw the water out of your cells. This is why dieticians, nutritionists, and the like recommend a staggering 8-12 glasses of water per day.� This water is needed to counteract the dryness and toxicity inherent in the standard cooked food diet. But don’t think raw foodists are off the hook!� Unfortunately, the mainstream raw food diet doesn’t do much better in terms of hydration and actually makes the same two mistakes present in a cooked food diet: 1.�� �While not cooked, many of the foods consumed are DEHYRATED, and so much of the necessary water is removed. 2.�� �Raw foodists are known for their love of salt, as well as other irritating spices such as garlic and cayenne pepper. Again, we see the exact same problems associated with cooked food eaters: dry and toxic ingredients. This is likely the reason so many raw foodists continue to experience acne (as well as other health issues). If they would just stop consuming all the dry, fatty, irritating foods and start consuming more fresh, water-rich ingredients, I bet they would see a marked improvement in the condition of their skin. Which segues nicely into my final point… How to Stay Hydrated If you really want radiant skin, you need to stay hydrated.� And the best way to stay hydrated is NOT to drink gallons of water a day, but to eat a diet of water-rich foods. And what diet might that be?� Why, a low fat raw vegan one, of course!� The amount of sweet fruit you will eat on such a diet has *more* than enough water to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. And the more simply you eat – meaning the less irritating salt and spices you consume – the less toxic ingredients your body will have to dilute by removing precious water from your cells. Another benefit of simple eating: no water retention!� Again, irritating salt and spices have to be diluted, which means that your body actually holds on to the water to keep the salt in solution. Sounds counterintuitive, right?� You are holding onto more water and yet your body is dehydrated. That’s because the water is no longer in your cells or bloodstream, but in your skin.� This is what gives so many salt lovers that “puffy” look. It’s Not Just About Diet Instead of ending on that note, I want to quickly add that it isn’t all about diet. Perhaps you saw this one coming, but it’s so true! No matter how clean your diet is, your skin (and your health, for that matter) will never be as great as it could be if you do not take other health factors into account. Factors such as: -�� �Exercise -�� �Sunshine -�� �Fresh Air -�� �Clean drinking water -�� �Etc. All of these have a huge effect on the look and feel of your skin. Healthy skin comes from within!br
