Clean Skin from Within
If you have a common skin condition, such as acne, rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis, or if you’re simply looking to give your skin a boost, you can skip the trip to your dermatologist. In Clean Skin from Within, Dr. Cates shows you how to achieve clear, glowing skin without the harsh medications by adopting a cleaner, healthier lifestyle that addresses the root causes of your skin troubles.
Drawing on her experience treating thousands of patients at her private practice and top-tier spas, as well as her own struggles with skin issues, Dr. Cates will help you create a holistic plan for vibrant skin in four simple steps:
- Clean Plate (diet): Discover skin-beautifying foods rich in fatty acids, antioxidants, probiotics and prebiotics, collagen-boosting ingredients, and anti-inflammatory properties—and avoid common foods that trigger skinflammation.
- Clean Slate (toxin takeaway): Learn how to replace toxic ingredients in skin care with cleaner, effective alternatives, and follow additional recommendations to reduce toxins in the air, as well as the water and food you consume.
- Clean Body (detox support): Stock up on herbal and nutritional supplements that boost liver and kidney function and enhance toxin removal. Take advantage of cleansing techniques used for centuries at spas and by naturopathic doctors.
- Clean Mind (emotional cleansing): Evaluate emotional triggers that may adversely affect the skin. When we’re pushed out of our comfort zone, it’s important to take this step for the body, mind, and soul—and thus the skin.
In addition to clear, easy-to-implement guidance for each step, you’ll find recommendations for personalizing your 2-week plan based on your skin type. Then, kick-start your journey to beautiful skin with:
- Skin-perfecting smoothies, juices, and drinks: Red Velvet Smoothie, Warming Carrot, Watermelon Cooler, Lettuce Refresher, Coco Mocktail Fizz, Turmeric-Ginger Coconut Milk, and more
- Skin-nourishing and cleansing recipes: The Spa Dr.’s Bone Broth, Watermelon Gazpacho, Roasted Salmon with Beluga Lentils and Salsa Verde, Grain-Free Peach Cobbler, and more
- DIY skin care: Chamomile Oat Cleanser, Evening Avocado and Lime Cleanser, Brightening Rice Water Toner, Aloe-Rose Toner, Papaya Skin Exfoliant, and Chamomile, Elderflower, Rose Tea Herbal Bath, and more
At the end of two weeks, your skin will be polished, perfect, and ready to glow!
Whether you’re sick of the expense and nasty side effects of blemish-treating medications and procedures, or you want to look your best at an upcoming event, this book offers a natural solution that will leave you rejuvenated, inside and out.
