As the seasons change, I love to shift my routine to support my body and skin. My skin has gone through a lot over the years, from breakouts to excessively dry patches... I’m always looking for ways to keep my body in total balance.
Transitioning into Autumn means that the air is drier and cooler, which in turn can make our bodies experience the same manifestations. After spending many years studying Eastern Medicine, I have found that Chinese Medicine does the best job at explaining and sharing how the body is completely interconnected and how we can use these inner-workings to support our vitality.
In the Fall, the lungs and the large intestine are the predominant organs of the season in this tradition. In turn, I’m always trying to do whatever I can to support and nourish these organs over those next few months. In Chinese Medicine these organs are also connected to the vitality of our skin: when we’re not breathing deeply and getting enough oxygen into our system, it shows up on our skin. And since our skin is the largest organ, what is happening elsewhere in the body tends to show there first.
So as you can see, everything is really working together to create the perfect system of harmony for our radiance, and during seasonal transitions we always want to support the organ systems that are predominant in that season. Here are some of my favorite Sun Potion products for Fall that align with supporting my entire system during the season to help keep my body happy and my skin glowing.
