Welcome to thoughtful, organic beauty
Hello Joyous is an organic, plant-based, sustainable beauty brand here to bring more joy to your day.
Recently I did a video on " 5 Habits for Healthy Skin" from within. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and is greatly impacted by your daily habits including what you eat , how much water you drink, and the supplements you take. That being said, many people still believe that beautiful skin is found in an expensive bottle of face cream. While face care products can certainly support skin health, they are not the only factor or the silver bullet for healthy skin.
In today's video, I'm sharing 6 factors that sabotage healthy skin. I'm also sharing solutions for each factor. I will share why lack of sleep, chronic stress, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, veggie oils, sugar, and dairy mess with your skin.
Now that you've got all the factors that sabotage healthy skin, here are solutions for each that I've shared in the video.
Lack of Sleep
A study in the Journal Clinical and Experimental Dermatology found that people who slept 7-9 hours a night had skin that was more moisturized and that could protect and heal itself better after being exposed to sunlight compared to those who slept 5 hrs or less.

Solutions:
Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals
The endocrine system is a network of glands and organs that produce, store, and secrete hormones. Hormones are messengers that bring information to cells and help maintain whole-body balance or homeostasis. In short, endocrine disrupters alter the natural rhythm of your hormones. They are pretty much everywhere - in cosmetics, personal care, household cleaners, water, food, plastic packaging, receipts (BPA), non-stick surfaces, flame retardant clothing, dust in your home.
Solutions:
Refined vegetable oils
The consumption of these oils has increased dramatically in the last decade and they are best avoided because they are treated with multiple pesticides and chemicals (many of them are made from GMOs), extracted with solvents such as hexane, and subjected to an unbelievable amount of processing from bleaching to deodorizing and more.
Solution:
Sugar
Sugar elevates blood sugar and insulin levels. Having excess insulin in your blood can cause your oil glands to produce more oil, increasing your risks of acne.
Solutions:
Processed dairy
Studies have linked dairy to both acne and eczema. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology examined the diets of 47,355 women and found a strong connection between milk and milk products intake and breakouts.
There you have it! My six factors that can sabotage healthy skin and solutions for each! If you came here because you have a skin issue, I truly hope this information helps you.

Which one of your teas would help with insomnia?
ReplyWe are in the process of developing a tea for sleep however, all my teas are caff-free except the Radiance Tea so you can sip in the evening without worrying about being kept awake by any caffeine. https://shopjoyoushealth.com/herbal-tea/ Enjoy!
