“Our appearance reflects our inner health. Very often, what we first see with skin, hair and nails is simply a reflection of inner imbalances.”
Deficiency and/or Toxicity Shows Up on the Face:
Skin is the last organ of the body to receive vitamins and minerals. This is why chronic acne, pimples or dryness, for example, often signal nutritional deficiencies. Breakouts can also mean toxins are overloading your body. It forces some organs to work overtime to discharge them.
"Skin acts sometimes as a secondary elimination route for either the intestines or the liver, which are intimately connected with the removal of bodily waste," Gittleman says.
So if breakouts, patches, discoloration or irritation show up on the skin, take it as a sign something's out of balance. Either a cleanse is in order or a better diet!
