In our Artist Shares post this month, our New Artist- Morgan Hill shares one of her passions of healthy, balanced living, through skin care!

We hope everyone is enjoying their New Year! Well, this cold weather is upon us...with little snow...again. I don't know about everyone else, but fine lines and dry flaky skin is more abundant than skiers on a mountain side. Not to fear, there are several things we can do to fight the dry from the inside out.
NOTE: It is very important to note that no amount of exterior aid will provide the lasting results we desire, the true results come from a balanced maintenance internally.

From the Inside:

We have been doing some fun research on the pH levels of our body. Our skin rests at 4.5-5.5 pH, which is slightly acidic. Which means, our inner pH level should stay slightly alkaline...yes opposite. Alkaline on the inside, acidic on the outside. Eating our greens (broccoli, spinach, kale..etc) and drink plenty of water (which varies with lifestyle) will make for an alkaline atmosphere in our gut. Of course, having balance in our lives: food, exercise, water, etc...is the essential key to health and enjoyable life.

From the Outside:

Using skin care products with an acidic base will prevent additional drying. Moisturizing several times a day with a naturally based moisturizers (shea butter, jojoba oil...etc), which are featured in Aveda Skin Care products. Do not over wash, that will stripe the healthy oils from our face, and water drys out our skin due to it's alkalizing properties. Water's pH level 7.

Our staff here at LaTierra are excited about Aveda's Skin Care education and products.
