The skin acts as a barrier between the body and the outside world, it is one of the body’s first lines of defense. The elements of nature can compromise this barrier. For example, when it is exposed to too much sun it can become burnt and dried out. The body’s internal environment can also affect skin health. Without healthy blood flow, the skin can lose its color and luster. Without enough hydration it can start to wrinkle and dry out. Without a regulated nervous system, the body may not have enough resources to keep the skin looking its healthiest. Without enough detox too much waste can build up in the body causing imbalances and disease that can present on the skin.
