Identifying Perioral Dermatitis & Healing from Within


With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, our seasonal eating habits can be pretty harsh on our digestive system. We are surrounded by baked goods and cookie decorating, heavy meals rich with butter and salt, and not to mention the surge in seasonal cocktails. This can result in a purging of toxins visible on the face. We're breaking down perioral dermatitis, one of the most common skin conditions caused by digestive stress, and why it seems to spike this time of year, so let's dive in!

Perioral Dermatitis is a condition in which inflammation appears around the mouth and chin in the form of small red bumps, often accompanied by mild peeling and flaking. According to our Face Mapping guide, breakouts around the mouth indicate various imbalances in our digestive tract. PD, specifically, is usually the result of food toxins, stress-induced digestive troubles, and possibly mouth toxicity from fluoride. While your instinct may be to counteract this rash-like breakout with harsh exfoliants or astringents, fast and visible results will come with a much more gentle approach on the skin with some internal reinforcement. Here's what we recommend:

Topical Solutions


Rescue

This revolutionary epidermal repair serum contains powerful healing properties through our patented ingredient, Trioxolane. It works to neutralize toxins in the skin, calm inflammation, activate wound repair, and empower the skin with the tools needed to transform appearance and texture for permanent results! Talk about a super-serum, this one does it all!

Activating Mist

A staple in any protocol. Always be sure to top of your serums with Clear or Clear Plus+ to ensure optimal product penetration and absorption. Bonus! It is treated with frequencies to help stabilize bacteria levels and empower rejuvenation. Get to spritzing!


Internal Solutions


Skin Perfection

This Water is treated with frequencies that assist in harmonizing digestion imbalances that affect the skin's appearance. It also works to balance inflammation in the skin, which is a primary symptom of perioral dermatitis. This is the perfect addition to boost results from your routine.

Complete

This supplement matches our own pancreatic enzymes, making it easily recognizable by the body and enhancing its effectiveness to break down the food we eat (yes, even all that pumpkin pie and eggnog). This internal approach to assisting your body in absorbing nutrients and releasing toxins from food targets perioral dermatitis at its source so you can see results faster.

Many of us take a beat from our Camel friends and retain water under extreme heat conditions. We've got some great tips on how to beat the bloat and still enjoy the heat!



* Hydrate first thing in the morning! Drink a room temperature glass of water with 1/2 - 1 full lemon squeezed in. The lemon will help alkalize the body and start it off right.

*Take five pumps of Digestive Health Harmonized Water. This water balances the frequencies that cause bloating, thus aiding in taking it down.

*Stay hydrated ALL day!

*Once you get home and start to decompress from your day, if you're hanging out on your couch, elevate your legs at a 90 degree angle from your torso. This will kick up your circulation. Move your ankles and toes around while you are elevated.

*Take a cool shower. Cool your body down before you go to bed. Summer heat can stick with you long after you are out of it. Cool showers will calm you nerves and tell your organs that you are ready for sleep.

*Take five pumps of Digestive Health and Relax Harmonized Water.

Inflammation: The Best Foods to Fight it!


Inflammation can be a fickle beast. If your organs are inflamed then chances are your skin is as well. If your skin is inflamed, you may not be feeling too happy. Did you know what we eat and put into our bodies has a HUGE effect on our overall wellness?  Foods with high fat, sugar, and salt can heighten inflammation as can heavy diets consisting of red meat and deli meats (which are heavily processed and extremely high in sodium). In order to bring our inflammation down we need to put alkalizing food into our system. When our bodies are low in acidity and high on alkaline, inflammation is diminished. There are some really great and tasty foods to incorporate into your daily diet to help keep your wellness in check. Let's take a deeper look into the Osmosis plan for anti-inflammation eating.






1. Whole Grain: Whole grains are high in fiber and low in sugar. They also help keep your bowel movements regular which is key to keeping your intestines healthy!










2. Dark Leafy Greens: It's no secret that dark leafy greens play a vital role in your wellness and health. Vitamin E rich greens play a key role in protecting the body from inflammation-causing proteins. The chlorophyl in leafy greens also contributes to beneficial detoxing and skin health.









3. Nuts: Nuts that are rich in omega-3, antioxidants, and healthy fats are vital to reducing inflammation. Adding nuts like Almonds, Walnuts, and Pecans can reduce inflammation in as little as six weeks time.









4. Bright colored veggies and spices: Ginger, Turmeric, Onion, and Garlic are perfect foods to add into any meal to help fight inflammation and toxins. Peppers, tomatoes, and beets also contribute to wellness with their antioxidant powers and protect the body from harmful chemicals. Juicing these healthful veggies in the morning with lemon and berries is a great way to start your day!









5. Olive Oil: This oil is high in good fats and aids in keeping the body lubricated, which aids in toxin and inflammation excretion. Olive Oil is a great substitute for butter and other saturated fats used to flavor and cook food.













6. Citrus: Orange, lemon, and lime are high in heart-healthy and immune-healthy Vitamin C. These fruits are highly alkalizing which contributes to low inflammation.






**Additional supplements to help fight inflammation include Complete and Inner Harmony. These two help with proper digestion and balance of the organs' main functions. Don't forget to take Complete after every meal to aid in enzymatic functions and Inner Harmony morning and night to balance your body's internal wellness.**

These six all-stars are foods that can easily fit into your daily diet and taste delicious. One of our favorite recipes to utilize these fabulous foods is Forbidden Kale Salad. See the recipe below and get to eating!

Forbidden Kale Salad:

Serves 2

1 1/2 Cups Cooked Black Rice (aka Forbidden Rice)
4 Cups Kale (torn into bite-sized pieces)
1 Large Beet (cooked and chopped)
1/2 Chopped Onion (red or white)

Dressing:

2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Crushed Almonds
1 Clove Garlic (diced)
1 Tablespoon Fresh, Organic Almond Butter
1 Juicy Lime
Pinch of Salt and Pepper
Fresh grated Ginger and Turmeric for garnish and flavor.

Combine all oil, almond butter, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper and whisk together until all ingredients are emulsified.

In a large bowl combine rice, beets, onion, and kale.

Drizzle dressing onto the salad and toss until everything is well-coated.

Sprinkle almonds, ginger, and turmeric on top. Serve it up and eat it! This salad makes for a great lunch or dinner. You could even add a scrambled egg to it and down it for breakfast!

Our skincare is dependent on how we treat our bodies internally. When our bodies are balanced and low on inflammation our skin will glow with health. For an in-depth eating plan to help squash inflammation and detox like a pro, go here. 

Enjoy this recipe and enjoy treating your body right!

Healing the Gut for Healthy Skin


No one likes talking about their digestive issues... sometimes it's even tough telling our doctor about what goes on in the bathroom and hey, we get it. BUT most people don't attribute skin conditions to digestion issues. Science is still quite recently making the connection between the two and we are excited to be riding the cutting edge of research. Bloating, irregularity, cramps, IBS, acid reflux; these are all things we think about when we consider the ol' digestive situation. But did you know acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and even gum disease can be exacerbated by poor digestion? Don't worry, we won't lecture you on clean eating... in this post at least, but it is of course important! But seriously, eat your veggies, eat clean, drink water, and find the perfect supplement for digestive health. Why not knock out two of those steps in one? Once in the morning, and once in the evening add 5 pumps of our Digestive Health Harmonized Water to (you guessed it) your water. Drink up!



Our Digestive Health Harmonized Water creates balance and healing of the gut. You will be truly amazed at what your skin can do once your insides experience harmony. When our digestion is in balance, our bodies are able to excrete toxins properly, whether that is through sweat, number 1's and 2's, or our fabulous lymphatic system, the elimination of toxins aids in the health of our skin. Balance is what your body craves and Digestive Health Harmonized Water is a great supplement to aid in getting your insides healthy. When your insides are at their optimal health, inflammation (a huge cause of many skin issues), is calmed which means bloating, redness, and flare ups of many skin conditions are lessened, and regularity is, well... regular. Now is the perfect time to make resolutions for the New Year, and resolving to get your digestion on track is a really easy one to stick to. All you have to do is drink water, and add our Digestive Health Harmonized Water to your hydrating routine. EASY huh?!?
