The concept of Holistic Skincare implies that one cannot treat the skin as a separate entity from the entire body. The skin(being the largest organ of the body) performs many function, all of which either work in partnership with or depend upon the functions of the internal vital organs.
This philosophy states that the conditions such as Rosacea, acne, eczema, loss of collagen and elastic etcetera, all begin inside of the body like the digestive tract or due to other issues like stress.
Simply treating the skin itself as a separate unit from the whole might make short term improvements, but without addressing the cause of the problem, true resolution will never occur. Lately, internal supplements termed Nutriceuticals have been formulated to aid skin treatments and rejuvenation from within. These supplements include nutrients that are known to benefit the skin such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants such as green tea, grape seed extract, vitamin c etcetera.
Ingredients for holistic products, whether topical or internal, aim to be sourced from all natural origins. Since this is the case we can begin to treat our skin by feeding it with natural ingredients that it requires for its rejuvenation. So, for good skincare, here are 10 fruits and vegetables you should eat weekly for an all time skin sheen.
