Pink Clay

Our current lock down situation here in the UK is playing havoc with my skin. The light treatments I was having, stopped back in October, and now my skin is really starting to flare up. 

Taking things into my own hands is a nice Idea, however, my track record for sticking to ‘regime’beyond a quick face wash and teeth clean is admittedly poor. 

I honestly can’t be bothered, spending ages on a beauty regime just seems like such a waste of time. Trouble is, now I kind of have a very good reason to spend some time on myself. 
Self care, self compassion, self love, have all been low on my list in the past. I’m beginning to realise how important they all are for mental health and overall wellbeing, which in turn makes me a nicer person to be around. 

The penny is dropping.

So I slapped on a mask this evening.

Kind of tingly and doing that crusty mask thing. 
Definitely gives me softer skin, and a sense of taking care of myself.
Lovely.

Week 3 - Colon Clense

W/C 13 April 2015 When Sue Guild spoke to me last week about supporting gut health, she also mentioned a condition called 'leaky gut' I did some digging about on the internet, and found out more. While I don't suffer from many of the conditions that are characteristic of leaky gut, or Candida, Rosacea is cited as a possible sign of infection. Candida is a naturally occurring yeast, that resides in the gut. If it overgrows and is fed with sugars and yeasts, it can cause problems, and lead to leaky gut syndrome, where it attacks the gut lining, and causes toxins to leak into the bloodstream. The toxins have to go somewhere - and via the skin is not unheard of, others suffer with eczema and Psoriasis. I got a book about it, called "The Candida Diet Solution", by Sandra Boehner. It arrived while we were away visiting family, and having a wonderful sunny weekend with all the kids. As soon as we had unpacked the car I literally devoured the book, and read with gr...

Starting from Scratch

Well, not quite from Scratch, but since my economic situation has stopped my regular light treatment, and as my skin gradually is reverting back to more frequent flare ups and redness, I want to take it on, and find some sustainable lifestyle remedies. BASICS I can easily bring in a few healthy basics.. things I know would help but am not doing.. DIET 1. 2 litres of water a day 2. quit dairy 3. quit sugar 4. quit caffeine LIFESTYLE 1. daily meditation 2. keep fit That's my goal this week. Sounds like a lot. All this coupled with some homeschooling, which I have never done before. SO - thats a lot of change in one week. maybe I'll stick to doing my best and keeping a food diary to see where I can make changes. here goes.

I am having a terrible day today, feeling so miserable. It might be because I'm being quite strict with my diet and am having withdrawal symptoms... either that or I'm starving. My skin has improved a little, although still getting a few fresh pimples every day. its going to take time.
