Dry skin juicing

Dry skin is a problem that affects many people. It is not only an esthetic problem, as dryness of the skin may lead to premature skin aging, wrinkles, susceptibility to skin damage, scaling, cracks and infections.

Introduction

The skin may become dry due to a number of factors. Some people have the dry skin type and in them the condition of the skin is probably inherited. There are also factors that may lead to or aggravate dryness of the skin, such as smoking, alcoholism, improper nutrition, dehydration or insufficient intake of fluids, pollution, cold and windy weather, excessive exposure to the sun and harsh chemicals and cosmetic products.

The main option for dealing with dry skin is to use cosmetic products designed for that purpose. However, no outside remedy can help if the problem is not also addressed from the inside. This is where fruit juices come in the picture. Natural, freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices have healing and rejuvenating properties, they provide essential nutrients for the skin and they cleanse the body from the inside, eliminating toxins and waste materials. When the body is properly nourished and detoxified from the inside, the skin, which is a mirror for all that is going on inside the body, is bound to become younger-looking, thoroughly moisturized, fresh and shiny.
