Is beauty only skin deep?

"When it comes to outer beauty, too much emphasis is placed on topical approaches, at the expense of considerations of inner health" Quote from Dr.Stephen Holt,M.D.

When I first started this blog my main idea was to educate the average person about the many new and innovative approaches to skin and body care. I feel that I have given you many choices and explained much of the new  inventions in skin care.

While reading a very well written article this week by Dr.Stephen Holt,M.D. it once again brought me to the subject of inner health . I have touched on this subject before in this blog. I would like to emphasize once again that we can slather outward creams and lotions on our skin all day and they will only do so much. You MUST give your body healthy food with as many nutrients as possible. This is NOT easy in the world we live in today. Choosing a balanced nutritional diet used to be x amount of veggies and fruits,certain amount of protein ect. Now we have to see that its clean of pesticides,grown organically,not Genetically modified,(GMO) ect. Our water needs to be filtered. So much to think about.

Also we need to feed our souls. This is a subject that is rarely talked about when it comes to beauty. But it is one of the main aspects of beauty! We all know people that are negative all the time,Preoccupied with doom and gloom. The glass is always half empty with these people . They spend time on gossip and criticism. And they are not very attractive on the outside,no matter how beautiful their features are.  We can all be this person at times.
This world is full of negativity. It is hard to get away from. That is why it is so important to take the time to feed your inner beauty. Calm the mind,think good thoughts. Try to put the negativity out of your mind every day. Even if you start with 10 minutes a day to breath slowly and clear your mind of all the busy thoughts. No matter what is going on in your life YOU deserve a time every day where you slow down and take the time to breath and tell yourself you are good, you are kind, you are worthy .
