Dark patches on the skin. Some say it is the sun; some say it is ageing. But we don't do this here, blaming outside forces or conditions before looking within. We believe in the healing power of our magnificent body.
We look at the "why" first before putting a bandage on a problem. I did my research to see what our magnificent body is trying to say when we have dark spots on our skin.
Dark patches or uneven skin occur due to disruption of the skin pigment named melanin. This pigment, produced by the skin cells called melanocytes, plays a key role in determining our skin colour. Your immune system affects the production of melanocytes. If your immune system is dysregulated, then melanocytes are either unable to produce melanin or accumulate in skin cells, resulting in lighter and darker patches on your skin.
The skin microbiome is essential for your immune system to function at its best. Think of the microbiome on your skin as the messenger talking to your immune system moment-to-moment and telling it what to expect from the outside world. After all, the body wants homeostasis = balance. The body wants to survive. Anything that looks dangerous must be communicated to the immune system.
If the communication between your skin and the immune system is blocked or disturbed in some way, your immune system receives mixed signals and wrong messages, resulting in lighter and darker patches on your skin.
You are not sensitive to light.
You are not ageing.
You are not weak.
Whatever you are using is disturbing the microbiome and blocking communication.
Anybody who comes to me asking for help with their skin, no matter what the issue is, I always say the same thing: Take care of your microbiome and be supportive, not manipulative. Believe in yourself, the healing power of the body. That is why I created the microbiome set. It's not the mind's job to figure out how to heal you. There is an intelligent, complex system we can not describe with words, one that takes care of us and beats our hearts on a moment-to-moment basis. Love yourself enough to respect the rules of your magnificent body.
If there are currently dark patches on your skin, start the microbiome set first and cut everything else. I mean everything: no masks, no cleaners, no serums. So that microbiome gets back into balance. The set does exactly what the skin does. Nothing more, nothing less. Then, apply the Sun Elixir during the day to brighten the dark spots and uneven skin tone, which means you are getting the help you need directly from nature. Nothing mixed in, no fancy isolated chemicals, no SPF, but nature itself. You are nature, after all. That is your language. Your body does not understand those isolated chemicals.
Your body understands the bilberry leaf, calendula flower, comfrey leaf, grape seed, green tea, olive leaf, pumpkin seed. They are all inside the oils in the set. It is versus eating from a can or eating whole foods.
You are not sensitive to light.
You are not ageing.
You are not weak.
Whatever you are using is disturbing the microbiome and blocking communication.
with all my love,
