Eczema is an itchy, inflamed skin condition that affects more than 15 million Americans. Unfortunately, the cause of eczema is still unknown, but factors like the environment, genetics, allergies, stress, and skin sensitivities can trigger the condition.
What does eczema look and feel like? Eczema sufferers struggle with dry, cracking, and itchy skin. They also commonly have rashes on the arms, legs, and cheeks, as well as red bumps on the skin. What’s even worse is that eczema flares up in colder weather when there’s less humidity in the air, causing the skin to naturally become drier and more irritated.
Clearly, eczema is no laughing matter.
Red Wine For Your Skin?

Researchers recently discovered a surprising new benefit of red wine. It contains a powerful ingredient that can help make your skin appear younger. I’m talking about resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant found in red wine.
If you take a second to check out the top ingredients in the majority of popular beauty products on the shelves these days, you’ll probably see a lot of the same thing. Antioxidant and vitamin ingredients that protect your skin from damage and in many cases, chemicals, chemicals, and more chemicals.
First off, I always encourage my patients to steer clear of chemical ingredients in their beauty products. When you start to see your skin for what it really is – the largest organ in your body – then it makes a whole lot of sense to put extra thought into the ingredients you put on it.

Your skin is one of your most important natural resources. It’s responsible for protecting you from the outside elements, and with a little TLC, it can help you to look fresh, confident, and much younger than your age.
Every day your skin faces opposition – whether it’s the pollutants in our modern environment or even harsh chemicals in many of the modern beauty products on the market today. These outside factors continue to rob you of your natural protection and deplete one of your most valuable resources.
Even foods in our modern diet that are full of preservatives and additives can deprive your skin of the valuable nutrients that it needs to stay in the best condition.
Safe Alternatives to Chemical Skin Care Ingredients

If you spend a moment or two in the beauty section of a department store, you’ll probably walk away feeling totally overwhelmed by all of the lotions, potions, and serums that you’re recommended to use each day.
The beauty industry is booming, and it can get pretty confusing to try to separate the good from the bad, and the safe from the toxic when it comes to your daily skin care regimen. Fortunately, you can go back to basics when it comes to caring for your skin to see the greatest results in a smooth, fresh complexion.
You see, your skin is just like any other organ in your body: living, breathing, and in need of nutrition to stay young and healthy. Just in the same way that your health would be compromised if you constantly ate junk food and never exercised, your skin can be compromised if it’s overloaded with toxic chemical ingredients.
In reality, the majority of commercial beauty products are loaded full of chemical ingredients that affect the health of your skin and could even cause serious issues like skin cancer. Yes, many of these chemical ingredients are hard to pronounce and even harder to figure out what they will and won’t do for your skin.
