“Beauty and health are the chief sources of happiness.” — Benjamin Disraeli
That’s why The Healthy Skin Kitchen will ensure your journey to a personalised skincare and health regime will be a rewarding one. This informative book has answers if you are seeking relief for skin complaints including acne, allergies, eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. They are based on a continued study of nutrition and nutritional biochemistry that’s documented in this book.
Vividly illustrated, this hardback will inform and educate on how to keep your skin in optimum condition through natural food and supplements. It shows you what to put on your fork to create radiant skin from inside out.
It’s a new way of eating to repair, firm and tone the skin through tantalising recipes that can be customised, and includes instructions on how to adapt them for food intolerance. Symbols and their meanings accompany each recipe.
With its chemical free recipes, it offers change from within with explanations on the how and where that change occurs, and creams and lotions that fight skin issues.
Far from a one-size-fits-all diet, the delicious allergy-friendly recipes include gluten-free, dairy-free, low salicylate, low histamine, vegan and autoimmune paleo options, so you can tailor meals to suit you or simply follow your favourite menu and Karen’s skin care regime.
The background narrative features Karen’s progress through a motivating and beneficial life that stemmed from uncontrollable skin issues, followed by a successful career.
Presented in four parts, this holistic guide to achieving health goals is the go-to guide to repossess your life and get that good skin glow you’ve always wanted.
Whether your skin issue is mild or momentous, as a qualified nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science degree, Fischer knows where there is health there is beauty. Choose products that support your wellness and help you feel gorgeous.
