A Wren Says

What did you eat for breakfast yesterday? What about lunch, or dinner, or your snacks? What did you drink? Chances are that you don’t remember. Many people don’t, but I would guess you have a general idea of what types of food you eat on a regular basis. What if I told you that what you eat is the most important aspect of your skincare routine? Let me explain.

I am all about skincare products. This blog is largely devoted to reviewing products. But unfortunately, they can only do so much. Investing more and more money in to your products won’t guarantee you good skin if you haven’t taken care of your internal health. It’s akin to trying to out exercise a bad diet. Neither work well in the long term.

So, what am I suggesting? Or rather why am I even writing this?

To be honest, I have maintained a fairly consistent skincare routine over the last few months with the products that I have been using. Not much has changed in what I’ve applied to my face, but I’ve noticed some negative changes in my skin. It was clear that was going on top wasn’t the problem. The problem was coming from within. Coupling that with what I had to admit was going on in my life as a whole, I had to look at what could be the cause of my issues. Being honest, I had to admit that the consistency of my skincare routine was not matched by the consistency in my diet. That’s not true. My diet had been consistently bad. It was filled with far too much fast food and too many “potato chips count as vegetables” days. Don’t even get me started on the lack of quality sleep and exercise. Something needed to change. So, change I did.

I decided to try Sakara Life for the first time. I will be spending this week reporting on my experience with the program. For those of you who are impatient, my skin did not do a full 360 that I’m at the end of it, but I’m still excited to share what I’ve learned. This is the start of something new, a new routine to care for my skin from the inside out.
