"
Nothing reveals your physical beauty more than your skin."
You may pride yourself on the shine of your hair or the color of your eyes, but no other feature gives you a greater experience of your beauty. . . .
The skin performs a multitude of tasks, most of which go unnoticed and unappreciated. It protects us from disease and the daily onslaught of particles large and small. It cools us when we are hot and warms us when we are cold. It heals wounds afflicted on it, often without any assistance from us. It absorbs sunlight to produce vitamin D, essential to the health of our bones and teeth, keeps itself moist, slows its own aging, and, every day, attempts to renew and restore its beauty.
While skin accomplishes all of this on its own, it still needs help. With every blemish, rash, and wrinkle, the skin is asking us to understand its nature and to support its efforts at self-renewal. Unfortunately, many of us respond to changes in our skin with practices that, in fact, assault and injure it further, consequently accelerating the aging process. On the other hand, many of us do nothing at all for our skin--but nonetheless expect it to remain clear, beautiful, and young.
In order to create the most effective program for our skin, we must begin by understanding what it does each day, and how best to support its work. --From "Awakening Beauty" "the Dr. Hauschka Way"
"From the Hardcover edition."
