Our outer reflection tells a story about what is happening inside our bodies. The quality of our skin, hair and nails, what I like to call our “beauty bits”, is directly related to the health and function of a number of body systems including digestion, liver and adrenal function.
This means that if you’re constantly stressed, not sleeping restoratively, experiencing digestive upsets or not eating in a nourishing way, it’s going to show up on the outside.
A common scenario these days, however, is to cover up something about our external appearance that we feel is lacking. We put concealer over dark circles and blemishes, acrylic nails over soft, flaky ones, fill our hair out with extensions or tattoo eyebrows on when ours begin to thin.
