Marcelle Pick on creating healthy skin from the inside out
Conventional wisdom tells women to brace themselves as they age: get ready for your looks to go downhill and your skin to head south.
Cosmetic companies make billions of dollars off the fear of aging skin, with new anti-aging products and topical “miracle” products launched every year. From my own experience and that of my patients, these products mostly wind up half empty and jammed in the back of the cabinet.
Nevertheless, beneath all that marketing hype there has been an authentic leap forward in our understanding of what causes skin to age, and it centers around inflammation.
This is good news! It means your skin really can look better than ever — no matter how old you are — once you recognize that what happens on the inside, on both a physical and emotional front, truly does show up on the outside. That’s because the aging you see in your skin is biological, not chronological, and can be delayed or even reversed with a holistic, natural approach that includes optimal diet, lifestyle and product choices.
This approach to healthy skin works for other bothersome conditions, too, like acne, rosacea, and dermatitis. Whereas conventional medicine turns first to antibiotics, acids, retinol and steroid creams to treat the symptoms of these conditions, our approach helps women resolve them by addressing the core cause — inflammation.
At Women to Women, we see the results of this inside-out approach every day in the skin of our patients — skin that grows younger and more vibrant each day. And yours can too… but the solution relies more upon what you put in your body than what you put on your skin.
