The Purest Holistic Skincare Products (it's not what you think!)

Every day, your skin is exposed to wear & tear, whether from wind damage, excessive UV from that fiery ball, acne, rashes, bacteria, fungi, & toxins. Us modern apes don’t seem to pick up on the fact that we absorb EVERYTHING contacting our elastic sacks, including the chemicals filling fancy cleansers, makeup removers, toners, scrubs, lotions, & body washes we purposely apply to “look lively.” Applying these long-term can cause more harm than good. If you really want stunning skin, there’s one critical component no skincare line will ever promote...

Before I spill the beans and discuss this genuine critical component to walking around with undeniable Sleepy Beauty skin, I will dive into my favorite skincare cleansers, scrubs, and moisturizers I use on the daily! Let’s soak up this goodness (through our tiny pores).


Cleansers

  • Witch Hazel: reduces inflammation and removes skin irritations (amazing toner!)

  • Dr. Bronner’s: sustainable, 1000000% organic and clean ingredients (coconut oil base)

  • Activated charcoal: soaks up the bad guys on your beautiful face

Scrubs

  • Himalayan Salt: soft, cheap, natural way to boost vitality

  • Natural Organic Coffee Grounds: caffeine tightens skin AND coffee is loaded with antioxidants

Moisturizers

  • Jojoba oil

  • Rosehip oil

  • Coconut oil

  • Honey: great for a natural hydrating mask

  • Bentonite clay: mask it up!


Okay, now that we knocked out the external applications, let's talk about the OG way of getting that envious glow.


Yes, you guessed it: pouring a big ole bowl of Fruit Loops with generic dairy to get your rainbow colors in (even though Toucan Sam knows each color tastes the same… lying bird), munching on a savory Chick-Fil-A sandwich for lunch, drinking a crisp, sweet Coca-Cola for hydration in the afternoon, and ending your day with a microwaveable meal of creamy mac n’ cheese and a couple slices of Dave’s bread with Jif peanut butter.

Actually, scratch that. I think that’s what the FDA Food Pyramid recommends...


The real eating strategy is this: 1-ingredient, wholesome, Mother Nature-producing nutrition!


Here are the top-tier nutritional recommendations:


1) Steer clear from PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids)— Vegetable oils rich in harmful omega-6s: corn, soy, hydrogenated, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, canola, cottonseed, and refined palm

These guys increase the aging process and wreak havoc on your joints, digestion, brain, energy, libido, and lastly, your precious skin. Want more wrinkles and acne? Eat chips, cookies, protein bars, salad dressings, cereals, common junk food snacks and fast food-like products soaked in these oils. On top of this, decrease conventional dairy because it can be quite inflammatory. Goat milk is a better option on occasion (aged grass-fed cheeses can be eaten sparingly along with fermented kefir and milks).


For oils and fats, instead opt for extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, grass-fed ghee, butter and tallow.


2) Eat low amounts of sugar— less glycemic variability

The more refined and processed carbohydrates—like white sugar—you eat, the more your blood sugar levels increase at a faster rate. This is extremely taxing on your pancreas and caused the poor guy to send out an influx of insulin. By eliminating high amounts of sugar (i.e. eating less than 25g of added sugars a day) you may decrease the amount of insulin secretion; therefore, the amount of oil and acne production your body creates. This stacked with 30-70g of fiber daily can really help.


3) Eat the REAL rainbow (not Trix… that rabbit is an undercover FDA agent)

The more colorful variety of fibrous fruits and veggies on your plate, the more colorful your personality, thinking and creativity, and skin. These foods are loaded with antioxidants which ward off the aged, run-down look.


My favorite whole foods for skin vibrancy are:


-spirulina and chlorella

-blueberries

-collard greens, spinach and broccoli

-flax, chia and hemp seeds

-avocado

-walnuts, Brazil nuts and pine nuts

-herbs like oregano and basil

-fresh turmeric and ginger


4) Chow down on healthy proteins and fatty fish rich in omega-3s

Fish oil. Yes, I’m sure you’ve heard allll about it in mainstream health news. It’s got a lot of merit on PubMed and it’s effectiveness on our wellness certainly isn’t blown out of proportion. I recommend eating plenty of fatty cold water fish like sardines, anchovies, Mackerel and wild-caught salmon for optimal skin health. Eating 3-4 servings a week will do. That stacked with 2-5g/day of quality fish oil like Carlson will make you one sexy-skinned guy or gal.


On top of that I would eat a wide variety of full-spectrum amino acids in grass-fed and grass-finished meats twice a week. Protein is key for performance, longevity, and a good-looking reflection so try to hit .7-1g per pound of body weight daily.


5) Supplementing Purium: The Ultimate Lifestyle Transformation

Almost every dang day I make sure to throw in some Purium scoops, magic pills, and elixirs inn my arsenal of eating. These guys are super easy to incorporate in your daily regimen and make a great way to get adequate amounts of bioavailable nutrients to LOOK AND FEEL SUPERHERO STATUS.


Every ingredient is pronounceable, coming from earth, and non-GMO. Purium has been a family-owned business for over 20 years and have a line of 100+ holistic-health products, so you’re bound to find something that suits your wellness interest.


From the Power Shake loaded with omega-3s, fiber, protein and nutrients your skin craves, to Apothecherry tart cherry to support immunity (powerful antioxidants), sleep and recovery, to 1500mg anti-inflammatory CBD; these players are the real-deal healers.

I highly recommend the Ultimate Lifestyle Transformation for starters, if you’re new to Purium products. This is a 30-day wellness transformation kit that supports gut health, skin health, mental health, liver detoxification, hmmm let me think… THE WHOLE DANG HOLISTIC BODY!


It’s not a joke.
