"Retinol supports healthy skin. Retinal is needed for vision. Retinoic acid supports skin and epithelial tissue. Retinyl palmitate is the storage form inside the human liver. Inside the body vitamin A is found in five forms: retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl palmitate, and beta-carotene, as seen in Figure 3-1. Each of these forms of vitamin A performs functions that the others cannot. Retinol is the major form of vitamin A for transport in the body. Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A.

"I've been looking in the mirror and seeing clear and healthy skin that I haven't seen for years," wrote Jessie. Obviously she was thrilled, but she was also concerned because saw palmetto is marketed as a "man's supplement." Specifically, she wanted to know whether saw palmetto can have any adverse effects if and when she wants to conceive. (The short answer: Don't take it if you're pregnant.) So what's the deal? Could saw palmetto indeed be a natural "cure" for acne? And if so, why?" - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"These products may temporarily enhance the feel of skin, but the only way to truly have healthy skin is through nutrition. healthy skin comes from the inside, not from skin creams. If your skin tone is poor, it's a direct indication of the poor health of your internal organs, most notably the liver and heart. If you have a suppressed liver, it's going to show up in your skin. That's why skin spots are called liver spots." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"This versatile sea-vegetable is also widely used to maintain healthy skin and hair. Kelp's most dramatic application is its ability to neutralize heavy-metal pollution and radiation in the body. Algaes CHLORELLA AND SPIRULINA Chlorella and spirulina are two of the most nutrient-dense foods known, and easily qualify as whole, perfect superfoods.

"Oils are essential for healthy skin. That means eating raw nuts and seeds, consuming healthy oils from plants like avocados, coconut, olive oil and so on. If you get these in your body (and stop poisoning it with manufactured foods and junk foods), you will naturally have healthy skin. This is especially true if you combine it with good sources of antioxidants such as berries, superfruits, or any superfoods for that matter. People are telling me all the time that I have great-looking skin—that I look ten years younger than my chronological age—and they ask me what I put on my skin." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"They are required for nerve impulses, brain development and function, healthy skin, digestion, inner organ function, the cardiovascular system, and immune system. They are critically important for health. Most people are oil deficient because good oils are lacking in their diets. All the essential fatty acids are obtained from a diet of real food. A deficiency of one or more of the essential fatty acids is usually evident in degenerative disease conditions. On the road to recovering health, supplementing with hemp oil, olive oil, flax oil, or a combination of these oils is a good measure." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "The body produces healthy skin when its requirements are being met. Yeast Overgrowth (Candida) Yeast is normally present in the colon along with hundreds of other organisms. In a healthy body, it is kept under control by enzymes and hydrochloric acid in the digestive system, and by friendly bacteria in the bowel. The main causes of yeast overgrowth are improper diet, antibiotics, steroid drugs, birth control pills, and stress; all of these can weaken the immune system and cause a depletion of healthy bowel flora." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"First, I think we would all agree that a fresh, healthy skin normally gives a younger appearance than an unhealthy skin.

"Doctors recognize the appearance of healthy skin and are often able to judge a patient's condition on this basis. Several gross vitamin deficiencies in humans become obvious by their unhealthy skin. That national epidemic, constipation, is often a manifestation of bad nutrition of the intestinal tissues. There are many involuntary "smooth" muscles which, when stimulated, cause stomach and intestinal movements. These wavelike motions keep the partially digested food moving along until the final residue reaches the large bowel and is soon eliminated." - Patricia Bragg and Paul C. Bragg, The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental & Spiritual Rejuvenation (Get the book.)

"It contains alpha-hydroxy acid, which promotes healthy skin. Rooibos is not generally considered edible, aside from as tea. The tea has a pleasant black-tea-like flavor, with citrusy overtones, yet no caffeine. Though rooibos is more expensive than other herbs, to make a good brew you need only about half as much of it as you would need of other herbs, so it's more economical than it seems. The tea, however, is used to flavor punches, custards, desserts, and sauces as it adds color." - Brigitte Mars, A.H.G., The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine: The Ultimate Multidisciplinary Reference to the Amazing Realm of Healing Plants, in a Quick-study, One-stop Guide (Get the book.)

"The skin disease is merely evidence of the body throwing off toxic debris by passing it through the skin. healthy skin must excrete more than 1 pound of waste each day. When the body dumps more than that into the skin in order to protect the vital organs, some of the waste ends up lodged in the skin tissues, resulting in skin irritation and inflammation. Some people are more prone to skin disorders than others. This is largely determined by an inherited weakness of certain internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, or intestines." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"If you get these in your body (and stop poisoning it with manufactured foods and junk foods), you will naturally have healthy skin. This is especially true if you combine it with good sources of antioxidants such as berries, superfruits, or any superfoods for that matter. People are telling me all the time that I have great-looking skin—that I look ten years younger than my chronological age—and they ask me what I put on my skin. I say, "Nothing." It's what I put in my body that makes my skin look healthy. I don't use any skin products whatsoever." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "You need to have good, healthy skin to keep your skin moist if you live in the desert. But I don't believe in using sunscreen because of its harmful chemicals, and I don't believe in treating skin with topical chemicals. I certainly don't believe in using cosmetics. But I do believe in the power of nutrition to create great skin over your entire body, including your scalp. Some of the best skin care products are called Lluvia, made by the Amazon Herb Company. Products to consider for dandruff Note: Dandruff is not a topical problem (it's not a problem with your scalp)." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "To help relieve your own eczema, identify and eliminate any food allergies you might have and, for an extra boost, add some healthy carrot juice to your diet, as it has been shown to both treat skin disorders and even make healthy skin better. Incidentally, these same dietary changes will also help prevent and treat acne, which is also linked with food allergies. Besides food allergies, experts link eczema to another dietary problem—namely, too little intake of the healthy omega-3 fatty acids that our bodies need, and too much of the omega-6 fatty acids that we should consume sparingly." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

For optimal health and longevity, it is recommended to supplement with 15,000 to 25,000 IU of mixed carotenoids (includes beta-carotene and other carotenoids) daily." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Flax promotes cardiovascular and colon health, can boost immunity, promotes healthy skin, and helps stabilize blood sugar. Because the lignans in flax are actually phytoestrogens (weak estrogenic compounds from plants), they may help relieve menopausal symptoms. In fact, in one study, flaxseed was as effective as hormone replacement therapy in reducing mild menopausal symptoms in menopausal women. WORTH NOTING Some high-quality flaxseed oils have been specially designed to have a high lignan content. Look for those." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"However, brewer's yeast and liver also contain a broad range of othet nutrients, many of which promote healthy skin. Moreover, brewer's yeast is composed of living "friendly" organisms, which can compete effectively against certain harmful intestinal bacteria.4 In studies in which synthetic B-vitamins alone were used to treat rosacea, the results have been conflicting.5 6 Thus, while B-vitamins may be useful for the treatment of rosacea, it seems that at least some of these B-vitamins should be obtained from brewer's yeast." - Jonathan V.

"Not only does this support the action of the kidneys, but it also helps guard against constipation and headaches, as well as supporting healthy skin. Diet: Products that contain a substantial amount of white sugar are thought to aggravate boils, so steer clear of foods and drinks that contain a high proportion of refined sugar. These include obvious sources such as cakes, sweets, cookies, and pastries as well as "hidden" sugars in fizzy, carbonated drinks, processed foods (ketchup, canned beans, and even some pizzas can have a surprising amount of added sugar), and fruit bars." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.) "Diet: A healthy lifestyle and balanced diet are essential for healthy skin. Drink plenty of water every day to keep skin hydrated. Eat food that is cooling and moistening, such as pears, bananas, lychee, kiwi fruit, cherries, blueberries, sweet rice, sesame, gingko nuts, sweet almonds, fish, and chicken. Avoid deep-fried and baked food. Also avoid hot spices, as they could damage body fluid. NATUROPATHY Diet: The oils in cold-water fish such as salmon, herring, and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)
