Holistic tips for your skin and body from Tzeira Sofer – practitioner in healing arts, expert on women’s health & wellness and founder of Pomega5.
- Eliminate hydrogenated oils (such as corn, coconut, palm and soy oils) from your diet and skincare and instead incorporate beneficial essential fatty acids for better health.
- Choose a healthy organic olive oil when preparing foods.
- Incorporate products with Omega5s (pomegranate seed oil) and cold pressed Omega3s (almond and argan oil) into your skincare regime. They will help balance and nourish skin and because Omega5 is a dry oil, it will never leave skin feeling oily.
- Remember to keep your skin hydrated, especially when exercising – Pomega5’s new Revitalizing Nourishing Toner offers an instant refreshener. Just mist it on skin throughout the day whenever you need a lift.
- Stay away from sugary drinks such as juices and colas because they dehydrate skin. Drink lots of water instead.
- Switch out your table salt for Himalayan salt instead. Unlike traditional table salt (sodium chloride) or salt used to cure and process deli meats (sodium nitrite), Himalayan salt is a pure intense mineral formula. Whereas sodium chloride and sodium nitrite cause fluid retention (which is particularly unseemly in the summer), Himalayan salt actually does the opposite - alkalizing the system and helping the body release unwanted toxins and fluids.
- Apply cool cucumber slices to your eyes and potato slices to your face to absorb excess oil, calm, rehydrate and replenish minerals.
- Wash away dirt and sweat 2 to 3 times a day with a pure, hydrating cleanser like Pomega5’s Cleansing Bar.
- Consume lots of organic green and yellow vegetables and berries that contain purifying antioxidants for a healthier body.
- If you’ve had a late night, first thing in the morning apply cool chamomile tea bags to eyes to reduce puffiness.
