Beet Juice for Healthy Skin
Benefits of Beet Juice
Reliefs Skin Problems
Drinking beet juice regularly may be beneficial in the prevention and cure of inflammations including skin inflammation like acne. The juice also helps eliminate blemishes and promotes healthy skin and hair growth.
Prevents Cancer
One of the huge benefits of beet juice is that research shows the beet to be cancer-preventive. The betacyanin that beet juice contains, helps prevent the formation of cancerous tumors and also detoxifies the body of all harmful toxins.
Together with dissolving the bad calcium these beet juice benefits may be extremely effective in the prevention and possibly reversal of many types of cancer.
There has been research and success with leukemia, colon, lung and skin, liver, and spleen, breast, prostate and testicular cancer. This seems to be the case, even at a very low dose. (Google "beet juice cancer" for more info.)
Best Way to Enjoy the Benefits of Beet Juice
Raw
As mentioned earlier, it is important to consume beets raw. The powerful betalain reduces significantly when cooked and the oxalic acid may form calcium stones when heated.
Juice
Drink beets as a juice. Beet juice goes well with carrots, cucumber and celery.
Peel, grate and eat as a salad (i.e. with raisins, grated carrot and apples!)
Pickled
Peel, grate and add purified water, apple cider vinegar (unpasteurized), sea salt, stevia or raw agave (and herbs). Let stand for at least 8 hours or overnight at room temperature.

Skin Discoloration and Acne
Now that I have my hair together, the next thing I need to tackle is my skin.
Skin that's on my face and body. The most important though is my face.
Have skin discoloration on face due to old acne marks (scars) yuck.
With having such a light complexion, when I break out, no matter if I touch the acne or not it will leave discoloration.
Thank God I found the right foundation!
Now I want to test the waters with products to combat this demon!
First, I have used skin toners, skin bleachers, microdermabrasion, proactive, lemon juice and misc. Still have the same problem. Although I just started using the microdermabrasion.
Won't post any photos of myself until I get the results. Then I will let you see and I will also let you know what products were used.
NOW THIS IS SOME BS
Below mentioned are some tips to combat Acne:
*Do not touch the pimples with your hands or try to break it open-it will only make it worse. (OK NO PROBLEM)
*Do not drink alcohol, soft drinks, caffeine, eggs, chocolate and do not eat fried food,sweets or anything containing large amount of sugar or fats. (WTF) *Drink lots of water. This help clean the body by carrying out waste. (OK)
*Eat Shellfish, soybeans, sunflower seeds, nuts and foods high in fiber. (OK)
*Eat a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetabales and lean protein. *Take a multi-vitamin multi-mineral supplement everyday. (OK) *Increase intake of foods naturally high in vitamin A (dark colored fruits & vegetables, lean protein) and zinc (nuts & legumes) as both are important to skin health. (OK)
Juice Therapy:
1.Make a juice of 2 apples,1/2 cucumber and 6 sticks of celery and drink.
2.make a juice of 2 apples,4 carrots and one inch ginger separately,mix it and drink.
OKAY that sounds good, but I will be struggling with sugar.
What is more important to me is my face. More important then COOKIES! (crying)
WILL START THIS TOMORROW!
Will start my regimen on ProActive. And go grocery shopping tomorrow for the right foods...

Beauty Treatments
To aid weight loss, skin brushing should be carried out all over the body on a daily basis, to stimulate lymphatic drainage, and help to break down the stored fatty deposits. Use a natural bristle brush, rather than one that has been manufactured from synthetic fibers, and brush the skin sweeping strokes toward the center of the body.
