Your skin is Intelligent.
It knows how to help itself... If you give it what it needs!
You cannot have total health without healthy skin. Our first line of defense, the skin, is often called the third kidney due to its ability to eliminate cellular waste.
Every month your skin cells are new. Your skin has a “mother cell” which duplicates itself every twenty-four to forty days. The new cell is an exact replica of the mother cell. It travels to the skin’s surface and takes the place of an old cell that gets sloughed off. Every minute - every day - your skin is renewed. When given the best nutrients, the skin will continually regenerate itself.
