Recently we picked the winner of last month's Giveaway Contest Prize of some luscious skin care products from Living Libations. You can see who the blessed winner was HERE...
For now, we wanted to share some of the GREAT skin care tips y'all sent in - we asked you to send in your As to the following Q:
"Your skin is your biggest organ; what is your top suggestion for vibrant skin health?"
...and you sent in so many wonderful responses that we wanted to share 25 of the top tips here (in no particular order) - enjoy :)
1. I drink a glass of water with a tablespoon of Sole water (you make sole by soaking himalayan salt rocks in 8oz of pure water) first thing in the morning. Then wait 30 minutes before I eat or drink anything else.
The Sole mineralizes the water and ads tons of electrolytes, your body absorbs it completely giving room for cell regeneration and well as toxin elimination to occur. Ever since I started to do this my skin glows more more every day :)
Regina
2. Drink lots of water! I always imagine it flushing out my pores from the inside out :)
Sarah
3. A ten day juice feast! - that is four liters a day of freshly juiced fruits and vegetables! :)

on May the 8th I had a very "bitty" day, preparing food all day for a fundraising event:
1 quart water
chunk of pineapple, a few granadillas
3 cups greeeeeeen juice mixed with pineapple juice
samples and later portions of everything we were preparing for the fundraiser: fruit salad, guacamole with cucumber chips, carob yumballs, green smoothie - yummmm :)
2 cups water
two curry powerwraps

7. The most important thing one can do for one's largest organ of detoxification is brush, brush, brush your skin:) I use a natural bristle brush everyday before showering. My skin looks and feels better, and I don't get colds and flus as easily.
Mary
8. Himalayan salt mixed in coconut oil (cooling) or in the winter sesame oil (warming) with some drops of lavender and frankincense....I use it for face and body..stand in the shower scrub it on and let it just melt EVERYTHING away :) It is my "soap".
Meggin.
9. Colon hydrotherapy—cleanse from the inside.
Elizabeth

Garbage in, garbage out. Good food in = glowing radiant skin!
Liliane
11. Lots of green juicing!!!!
Sandra
12. Never use skin/beauty products with ingredients you cannot pronounce!

13. FIR sauna! Every night, when my wee ones are tucked in bed, I take myself into the sauna (a most generous gift post colon cancer) and usually listen to some fabulous audio interv!ew (Maya Angelou tonght) and slather on the coconut oil.
Bliss, inside and out.

15. Exercise through running and other activities...my skin always looks its best after a good morning workout. :)
Mia
16. Hot/cold showers, or jumping between hot tubs and cold pools. All of the pores of our skin are actually muscles, and require being "worked out" just like all our other muscles, to keep our skin supple and alive. The only way I know of to exercise these many little muscles is through opening them with warm water, then quickly closing them with cold water, then doing it a few more times. Plus, I feel super energized from doing this!
Courtney
17. Spraying your body down with food grade hydrogen peroxide will remove a lot of dry skin and return your skin to the proper balance. It works great!!!!!
Mary
18. Drink half your weight in ounces of water everyday.
Tania.
19. I believe the number one most powerful daily skin regime that anyone can implement for radiant, vibrant and healthy skin is self-love and skin-nurturance. This means directing your conscious attention to your skin and sending it love. Telling your skin that it is soo beautiful and that you are so grateful for everything that your skin does for you. Letting your skin know how much you appreciate it and that you are going to do whatever you can to help support it and keep it healthy!
Cindy
20. Sweat and l@ugh everyday.
Taylor
21. Get a little sunshine every day.
Allison
22. 1 TBSP of MSM in your smoothie everyday!
Patrick
23. I have found that doing a bentonite clay mask a couple times a month does wonders for my skin--you can tell it pulls out impurities and leaves my skin so smooth, bright and balanced.
LV
24. Daub on witch hazel (plain or blended with rose water) every evening before going to sleep.
Brenda
25. Having a good time is a must - doing what you love surrounding yourself with positive people and most importantly showering yourself with love. The results are immediate you can feel the tingly sensation of love and happiness straight away on your skin :)))). Its not actually as corny as it sounds when you feel the results.
Sanita
WOW, thanks everyone for all your wonderful suggestions - here's to vibrant skin health for all :)
