Lack of exercise and poor dietary habits- especially fatty foods, sugar, and Caffeine contribute to the formation of cellulite, along with smoking, excessive alcohol intake, stress, and constipation.

A cleansing diet and proper exercise are essential components of a cellulite elimination program.

Here’s a Great Cellulite Elimination Bath:

You’ll need:

  • 2 cups Epson salts
  • 1-cup baking soda
  • 5 drops juniper essential oil
  • 5 drops grapefruit essential oil

Is Your Skin Very Dry During the Winter Time?

Avocado 2Here are a few things you can do if your skin is dry in the winter time.

For a period of time you can reduce the fats in your diet if you have been eating too much processed and cooked fats. Too much fat can overload the liver, causing the skin to become very dry.

Eliminating or reducing the fats for 1-2 weeks gives the liver some rest and allows it to cleanse.

Interestingly enough, if you do not have enough fats, the same thing can occur – the skin can become too dry. Make sure you eat raw fats 4-6 times per week.

This can be in the form of low-temperature pressed oils (2-3 tbsp. 1-2x daily) from olives, flax, hemp and pumpkin seeds, avocados, olives (10-12 olives 3-4x week), coconut, raw nuts and seeds (1-3 tbsp. 4-5x week).

Avocado Caraway Dressing:

  • 1 avocado
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons ginger juice
  • 2 tablespoons caraway
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

dash to 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan or Celtic Salt dash cayenne 1 cup kalamata olive water or blessed water with a dash of Celtic or Himalayan salt.  Blend all ingredients together in high-powered blender. Serve 1-2.

Winter Skin Exfoliator-Food For Your Skin

SeedsWhen winter comes, our skin needs some extra TLC. With its dry air, cold winds and lack of humidity, you may feel that you’re developing wrinkles quicker than the snow can fall. But I have a great recipe for what I call Kitchen Table Beauty that will not only exfoliate your skin but it will enrich it and keep it soft and hydrated.

These natural ingredients will help to slough off dry and dead skin cells while the oils of the seeds will lubricate parched winter-kissed skin. Regularly exfoliating your skin keeps your skin looking and feeling healthy and young. Exfoliating skin weekly offers many benefits such as improving your skin’s texture, unclogging pores, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fighting off acne and getting rid of dead skin cells.
