DIGEST-AGEING.
“If your gut is in a bad state then it robs your skin of its nutrients, causes inflammation in your body which speeds up ageing, and affects many of the hormones in your body which also affect the skin.” - Dr. Nigma Talib
"DAIRY FACE
Swollen eyelids; bags under eyes; dark circles under eyes; widespread acne and spots; pale cheeks.
SUGAR FACE
Lines and wrinkles on the upper forehead; sagging under the eyes; spots all over the face; gaunt look to the face; thinning of the skin; a dark grey/ pasty white hue to the skin.
GLUTEN FACE
Spots on the forehead; puffy cheeks and jowels — looking like you have gained weight; redness or red spots on the cheeks; spots or dark patches around chin.
WINE FACE
Pronounced lines or spots between the brows; droopy eyelids; pronounced fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes; dehydrated skin with feathery lines across cheeks; visibly enlarged pores; reddish skin tone; deep nasolabial folds (lines from side of nostrils to mouth).”

"As far as the effects of foods on our faces... Different people are affected in different ways. It all depends on your personal gut health - there is a finely balanced microbiome in our intestines - good bacteria, fungi and microbes. If bad bacteria start to take control, EVERYTHING changes... (More on this is an upcoming post!) It also depends on one's constitution. But, as we always tell our clients... "You are what you ABSORB". Are we feeding the good bacteria in our guts the critical nutrients that they need? QUALITY INGREDIENTS IN OUR FOOD MATTERS AS IT ABORBS DIRECTLY INTO YOUR BLOOD, WHICH AFFECTS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AND THE WAY AND TIMEFRAME IN WHICH YOU AGE. AND THE GREAT NEWS? THIS IS ALL CONTROLLABLE."
