What do Eczema, Psoriasis and Acne all have in common?
They are all uncomfortable! And that’s about all they have in common because they are the result of 3 completely different processes. This means, we cannot use the same approach to treat them. Natural skin care routines will vary depending on the root of the issue.
Eczema: Inflammatory Skin Condition
Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition that surfaces on the skin when the body has been overloaded. While topical creams can help reduce the discomfort, most of the work comes from INSIDE the body.
Management of eczema involves determining dietary triggers of inflammation, clearing out excess inflammation and supporting liver health in continuous detoxification of inflammation.
Psoriasis: Autoimmune Skin Condition
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition. This means the immune system has been triggered to attack something within the body. This can be triggered by stressful events, dietary choices, environmental factors and more.
Management of psoriasis largely involves moderating the immune system. This means managing the stress response and clearing out anything that would trigger the immune system the wrong way. Dietary changes are often important, as is liver health and support of detoxification.
Acne: Bacterial Skin Condition
Acne occurring on the face and on the body, is often a product of bacteria living on the surface of the skin. This is common in people with oily skin, hormone imbalances, and conditions of high stress. Many forms of adult acne are linked to dietary triggers and can clear up once the trigger is found.
Management of acne involves supporting the liver in proper detoxification, balancing out hormones in the body and identifying dietary triggers that can aggravate oily skin.
