Our skin's primary function is to act as a living, breathing barrier between our internal and external environments. However, it's the last organ to receive nutrients from the blood. That's why it's vital to nourish ourselves properly to make sure that these nutrients reach our skin.
FROM THE INSIDE OUT
At Sole Toscana Skin Care, our products support your skin's natural defenses, but the other half of the equation is up to how you manage your internal health.
One of the easiest ways to maintain proper internal health is to drink herbal teas. Consistent drinking of tea gives your body what it needs in doses that it can handle. Who wouldn't want that?
Teas also boost your body's hydration, so if you struggle with taking enough water, drinking herbal tea can help.
Youthful skin tea blends
The best thing about herbs is their versatility. Most herbs have various health benefits, so making a tasty blend will work wonders for your health.
When creating a herbal tea blend, consider your goal and any impediments to achieving it. Therefore when the goal is 'youthful skin', use herbs that counter the causes of aging.
How to enhance the appearance of Timeless Beauty
You can't turn back the clock, but you can slow it down. This is the whole point of rejuvenescence. As we age, our DNA undergoes damage from natural wear and tear. When we breathe oxygen, our bodies get oxidized.
Stress is another natural part of our lives. However, over time, excess stress and stress hormones affect us negatively.
The job of a youthful skin tea blend is to give your body nutrients to maintain the skin despite these ongoing processes. This action helps to reduce the appearance of aging on the skin directly.
Here's how you can create some tasty, youthful skin teas at home (based on your skin type).
Youthful skin teas
We recommend that you work with gentle tonic herbs that will restore your skin's balance. Also, it helps if you steep the tea 2-3 times before throwing out your herbs. This way, you'll have more water in your body, you'll get all the nutrients, and your blend lasts much longer.
FOR OILY SKIN
Oily skin needs herbs that will balance out your skin. Cleansing and cooling herbs are perfect for this.
Use the following herbs in equal parts and steep 2-3 times.
• Yarrow
