Seven Top Tips to Look and Be Incredibly Beautiful
and Healthy Inside and Out, Naturally
by www.SixWise.com

To get the healthy glow, bright eyes, smooth skin and captivating smile you’ve always wanted, the secret lies within -- yourself that is.

Real beauty does not come from slathering on expensive creams or makeup, or spending your life savings on plastic surgery. Real beauty, the kind that emanates from within and is capable of stopping people in their tracks, comes from the inside out.

The tips that follow will show you how to properly nourish and care for your body, with the “side effects” of healthier skin, shiny hair and strong nails, along with a glowing smile that shows off the beauty you hold on the inside and out.

1. Stay Hydrated

Drinking pure water helps flush toxins from your system while helping your cells function more efficiently. But be careful not to drink just any water. A recent Environmental Working Group study found 141 unregulated chemicals, and 119 regulated ones, in U.S. drinking water supplies. And bottled water, which typically comes in BPA-containing bottles and may in fact be nothing more than bottled tap water, is not a safe alternative.

To put your mind at ease and get safe, superior quality water from your own kitchen, Sixwise.com highly recommends The Wellness Kitchen Water Filter. It reduces chlorine, chloramines, cysts, VOCs, pesticides, and herbicides below detectable levels for the life of the filter.

The Wellness Kitchen combines the best filtration and enhancement technologies to deliver the purest and most natural tasting water available. It effectively reduces harmful contaminants, while at the same time enhancing the water with adding important yet delicate wellness "ions and minerals" that your body needs.

And for times when you're on the go, the staff at Sixwise absolutely loves The Wellness H2.0, a personal, reusable water bottle that features a unique filtration system that not only purifies ordinary tap water, but also enhances the water for better absorption and hydration. With this special filtration process you'll have access to high quality water wherever you go.

2.  Eat Fresh, Whole Organic Foods

Processed foods contain preservatives, artificial colors and flavors and many other additives that are not good for your body. To really give your body a boost both inside and out, cut back on processed food and focus on whole, natural foods instead.

Adding more raw foods to your diet is also a popular way to give your body a healthy glow, as eating raw foods is said to increase energy while boosting mood, slowing aging and fighting chronic diseases.

And as much as possible, choose foods free of pesticides, genetically modified ingredients and other additives.

3. Manage Your Stress

Anyone who's been through an extremely stressful event knows how it seems to show up all over your body, including on your face in dark circles under your eyes, dull skin and new wrinkles. Managing your stress is key to retaining a youthful face and body.

Sometimes it takes a bit of push to get your mind and body to really calm down, and that's why the staff at Sixwise loves the CD Pure Relaxation: Guided Meditations for Body, Mind & Spirit.

In it Mary Maddux has captured the essence of everything she's learned over the years about how to help people relax effortlessly. It's not a series of instructions giving you yet another thing to do. Instead the guided meditations on the Pure Relaxation CD help you to let go of effort, invoking your body's natural relaxation response.

4. Exercise Regularly

Exercise tones muscles and helps promote blood flow -- necessary for healthy skin and body. It will also help you relieve stress and improve your circulation and overall health.

5. Get Plenty of Sleep

Sleep refreshes your body and helps to restore the energy that you've used up during the day. Sleep is also the time when your body is able to do repair work, and when muscle tissue is rebuilt and restored and growth hormone is secreted (this is important for kids but also for rebuilding tissue in adults).

6. Use a Wellness Shower Filter

The Wellness Shower Filter is now widely known for its ability to enhance water beyond the reach of conventional water purification systems.

At the heart of its enhancement ability is an array of permanent, exotic media that until recently have not been seen outside of Japan. After the water is purified, these media induce into the water a unique combination of water-soluble trace minerals and ions that Japanese researchers believe aid the body's biochemical functions and cellular health.

In addition, the filter also contains a special far-infrared emitting ceramic media, which imparts reduced ions into the water. These ions provide a mild antioxidant effect in the body when consumed and on the skin when bathing. This aids your body in neutralizing free radicals, which are believed to be a primary factor in aging and in the development of cancer.

The Wellness Shower also increases hydration of your skin and hair by 115 percent. You'll notice the difference in your skin and hair after just one bath or shower.

7. Cleanse Your Face Gently Each Morning and Evening, and Apply a Mask Once a Week

Lathering up your face with a gentle, non-toxic soap such as Vermont Soap Organics, then rinsing and lightly rubbing dry will improve your circulation and exfoliate your skin, adding to your healthy glow.

Vermont Soap’s are highly recommended as they utilize all-natural ingredients in their soapmaking, including glycerin, which is a natural humectant, adding more moisture to your skin. Most commercial soaps remove their glycerin, selling it as a by-product in their other higher-end lotions and creams.

Next, apply a natural moisturizer. As you age your skin loses its ability to retain moisture, so a natural facial moisturizer is very important. Because 89 percent of ingredients in typical personal care products have never been tested for safety, Sixwise.com highly recommends you use an all-natural moisturizer, such as Surgeon's Skin Secret Moisturizing Sticks.

One a week, or as needed, also use an all-natural clay mask. Clay is such a popular ingredient in today's facial masks because it works in two ways. First, as the clay dries it draws out toxins and other impurities from your skin. At the same time, the minerals in the clay are absorbed by your skin.

The result is that debris is pulled out, pores and hair follicles are cleared, skin is exfoliated and it's left looking truly refreshed and with a younger, healthy glow.
