10 Foods to exfoliate your skin

9/17/2020

 
Skin can get dry and sometimes you need a quick way to fix that problem. You can just go into your kitchen and find some products which are just as great for your skin as any lotion you can find in stores. Here are ten of the best foods to put on your skin.
1. Strawberries - There are two easy ways to apply strawberries to your face. One way is by smashing the strawberries and placing them on your face as a mask. Another method is to just rub the strawberries all over your skin. Working as an antioxidant, the strawberries will get rid of any oils on your face which will result in brightened skin.
2. Eggs - You can use either the whole egg or just the egg white. The whole egg will offer your skin more moisturizer than the egg white would. The egg whites will tighten your pores, though, and will help you in getting firmer skin. All you have to do is rub the egg all over your clean face and then a simple egg mask will form.
3. Baking Soda - Baking soda is one of the best and most inexpensive ways to get rid of any pesky dead cells on your face. To get the best results, start off with a freshly cleaned face. Gently scrub your face with a paste of baking soda and distilled water for about 10 minutes.
4. Lemon Juice - Lemon juice is a great thing to add to any mask. It brightens your skin, tightens your pores, and cuts through the oil on your face. You can apply it right onto your face for about five minutes or just add it to an egg white mask.
5. Honey - Honey can be applied just as the lemon juice. It can either be used by itself or be mixed with another mask. It can be used as a moisturizer and will even help control all of those gross breakouts. You can put it on your face and leave it there as long as you would like.
6. Bananas - You will want to use bananas that have some brown in them as these will work the best. Bananas can greatly exfoliate your skin and will give a dull skin a greater complexion. They will moisturize and are great for all skin types. Mash up the bananas and rub all over your skin – adding a bit of honey if you’d like. Rinse off after about 10 minutes.
7. Oats - Grind them into a powder and add water. The oats with the added water will make a great moisturizing scrub. Substituting water for milk can soothe dry and sunburned skin.
8. Yogurt - The lactic acid in yogurt is a great way to leave your skin feeling fresh and exfoliated. Yogurt can be used as a brightener and a moisturizer.
9. Almonds - Like oats, you will want to grind up almonds too. Turn them into a powder. They will moisturize, exfoliate, and cleanse your skin.
​ 10. Olive Oil - Olive Oil is a great moisturizer for your face. 
Of course, consider a s skin test first to avoid sensitivity or allergic reactions.

    Having the stresses of caring for a child with health concerns and going through the termination of a failed marriage, I developed my own chronic health issues. and survived a stroke. My personal experience and research of stroke and  autoimmune diseases, lead me to help myself and others.

    The first issue I see is that many people of color in the US are going untested and uninformed of their possibility of having Celiac. Western doctors were either asleep or chose to not remember the history of this country that makes Celiac more than a white European problem. 

    Second issue is that Western medicine waits for symptoms to arise so they can mask them with medications. In the case of Celiac, that will NOT help the cause. 

    To identify oneself as a Young stroke survivor took some time to grasp at 49, yet  While I am a GenXer most in the Boomer generations are falling victim at an increased rate while many conversations are not taking place.

    Through my own experience with having Celiac Disease and a stroke and my study of Integrative Nutrition and Functional Medicine, I work with people to inform and motivate. We often work together to devise a plan to manage the issues, to live fuller lives.
