A 30-day healthy skin challenge that's more than just your face and neck! We're talking skin health and protecting your body's largest organ!
How Can I Make my Skin Look Healthier
Can we have better skin. You're darn tootin' we can!
Healthy skin is more than just your face and neck. It's your body's largest organ, and we can do things to preserve our skin's glow, vibrancy, elasticity, and more!
Does Eating Better Make Your Skin Look Better
Skincare is not just what you do on the outside, but what goes inside your body makes huge differences.
During this 30-day challenge we're going to be looking at skin healthy foods.
We'll be talking about skin healthy vitamins and supplements.
Best Practices for Healthy Skin
Part of the 30-day challenge will also include bringing in experts. Folks that I know who are experts in their fields.
For instance, what impact does menopause have on skin health. How do hormones affect skin health. Yes, while I don't have all the expertise, knowledge and answers, I have access to some pretty impressive experts who will share with us their knowledge.
Skincare Tips and Tricks
There are things that we'll do daily during this 30-day healthy skin challenge. And, we'll build on these daily things. Each week or every few days, we'll add new things to do.
I don't want it to be overwhelming for you. Do what you can. Do what makes you comfortable. Just remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and it takes time for the body to adjust to and show improvements when starting new practices.
Best Foods for Skin
Foods are essential to beautiful skin. That's the bottom line. And, we'll learn which foods we need to be snacking on, eating, infusing in our diets.
Healthy Skin Tips for Face
I'm a huge proponent of good skincare products. And, my skincare routine is pretty simple and easy. However, it's based on science, not hype and marketing.
For more about my morning and evening skincare routines and the products that I use, yes, that I know make a huge difference in my skin texture, glow, radiance, pores, elasticity and more, check out these posts:

Besides a healthy diet, top-notch skincare products, and other factors that help to keep your face healthy and glowing, we can't overlook the impact of stress in our worlds. Grabbing the harness of stressors is going to be big in overall health and in your skin's health.
Healthy Skin Diet
So what's our 30-day challenge like? Well, here's the outline of the next four weeks or 30 days. Hey, it's subject to change. Nothing's cast in stone.
We're all in this together. I put out an 'APB' of sorts on IG Stories about doing this 30-day healthy skin challenge for 2023, and ya'll responded unequivocally, YES, let's do it! I'm in! I know because you all sent me emails via my Contact here at the website!
Please please please remember, everyone has their own issues with health, ailments, conditions and foods, so if you're part of this challenge and can't do something because of these factors, then don't! And, remember, I'm not a nutritionist, skin care expert, medical anything. I'm relying upon other experts, plus my own best practices for nearly 73 years now.
My goal is to do one IG Live weekly for our tribe of skin health warriors! Please check your IG Stories and my IG feed for updates. Sometimes I have to be a 'pantser' which means I fly by the seat of my pants. That's because i have so many spinning plates in my life. Sorry, but at 73, it is what it is and I'll do my best to give you advance notice.
Week 1:
Let's incorporate known basics daily into our routine that are associated with good health and skin health.
Here's what I'm suggesting you do. These are things that I practice. And, if you miss a day, don't beat yourself up. Jump back on the soul train the next day.
- Drink at least 4-8 (8 ounce) glasses of water daily.
- Sip one 8 ounce cup of bone broth daily.
- Sip one 8 ounce cup of hot green tea daily. Sweeten with honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or nothing.
- Incorporate one ounce (that's a little less than about 1/4 cup) of nuts/seeds into your daily diet (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, pecans)
- If you smoke, 'try' to stop.
- Start doing at least 15-30 minutes of exercise/day, walking, biking, swimming, hiking, climbing steps, yoga, just whatever you can do based upon your own unique physical conditions.
Please know that each week builds on the other. You'll continue to do Week 1 activities through the 30-day challenge, then add on week 2 through challenge, etc. etc. Make sense?
Remember you can email me [email protected] if you have questions.
Week 2:
We'll be talking about foods that are known to be good for skin health. Foods that you need to incorporate into your diets weekly.
If you can't ingest certain foods/ingredients, then you modify and adapt. It's much like a yoga class, you do what your body can do.
Here are the foods that make the A+ list!
Week 3:
We'll be talking about vitamins and supplements for skin health. You can get these important nutrients via food and also with add ons.
I'll share with you vitamins and supplements that I take. Again, every body is unique and different. You do your own research and due diligence.
Week 4:
Factors that can negatively affect your skin health.
The crucial importance of movement and exercise!
