Skin

A holistic guide to understanding, supporting and repairing your skin.

Understanding

Understanding Your Skin

Your skin is your largest organ. It's a shield, a detox pathway, a vitamin D factory, and a mirror of your internal health. If your liver, gut, or kidneys are struggling, your skin shows it. Healthy skin comes from the inside out—creams help, but they can't outwork a toxic gut or deficient diet.

Q: Why do I break out before my period?

A: Progesterone drops and testosterone rises relatively, increasing oil production. Support your liver to clear hormones.
