The weather can be unpredictable, especially during Spring time. And, that could wreak havoc on our skin, leaving it dry, itchy, and flaky. Our skin is the body’s largest organ and weather, pollutants, and what we put on it can affect its texture and elasticity. Being gentle with our skin and applying beauty care products appropriately can help to maintain it’s youthfulness.
Applying skin care products in a particular order can allow the products to better absorb, nourish, and protect the skin. Here are some steps for a good skin care routine.

Are you a dairy lover but experience discomfort consuming dairy products? Could it be an intolerance to dairy? Specifically, an intolerance to lactose? If so, it’s best to seek a proper diagnosis from your medical practitioner since severe cases can potentially lead to Leaky Gut Syndrome, a topic I addressed in a previous post.
Lactose intolerance or lactose malabsorption is the body’s inability to produce enough of an enzyme called lactase that helps to break down lactose, a sugar found in milk and milk products. If undigested lactose passes through the small intestines into the colon, it can cause discomfort including nausea, gas, and bloating.
Lactose malabsorption can develop gradually and the severity of symptoms can vary depending on the type of dairy and the quantity of dairy consumed. It can be genetic and is more common in people of Asian, African, and Hispanic descent. In addition, it can develop as a result of intestinal issues such as Celiac and Crohn’s diseases.
While eliminating dairy from your diet can help the body avoid discomfort due to lactose intolerance, doing so can affect the intake of vitamins and minerals such as calcium which is essential for bone health.
So, how can we manage this and still maintain a healthy body? Some experts recommend:
A healthier body often means healthier skin since what happens inside your body can be reflected on the outside, on your skin. While more research is needed to determine a direct link between dairy consumption and inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, milk products particularly skim milk can cause acne due to its processing and whey proteins.
Remember to listen to your body and seek the advisement of your medical practitioner when necessary. Thank you for being kind to your body ♥️
