An age old cure-all that grandmother swore by was Cod Liver Oil. Some of us may even have memories of having to gulp a spoonful of this concoction every morning. Grandmother knew that cod liver oil could keep you from catching a cold all winter long, but she probably didn’t realize that it could also help you achieve healthy glowing skin.
The average person’s diet is deficient in nutrients that support a healthy complexion. Prior to recent times our ancestors consumed foods containing sufficient amounts of omega fatty acids. Scientific evidence has shown that omega fatty acids can alleviate skin disorders such as acne, eczema, and other inflammatory skin conditions. Cod liver oil is loaded with these skin loving omega fatty acids.
I explain why Cod Liver Oil really works
However, when it comes to consuming fish oils you have to be aware of its purity. All fish oils are not created equal. Nordic Naturals Artic Cod Liver Oil delivers the daily requirements of omega fatty acids without any toxic by products. This is a highly purified pharmaceutical grade fish oil that has been clinically tested to be free of dangerous toxins such as mercury and lead. Because of its purity, this product is three times more potent than any lower grade cod liver oil or typical fish oil found in health food stores.
I have tested Nordic Naturals Artic Cod Liver Oil for several months now and the results are in. This product had worked wonders for my complexion. This cod liver oil has cleared up my blemishes and has prevented any more breakouts. An added bonus is that this product even has a pleasant taste. Go to www.nordicnaturals.com to learn more about this amazing product.
Follow grandmother’s example and take your daily dose of cod liver oil to achieve naturally healthy glowing skin.

Welcome back!
Today I’m featuring our first installment of “Ask the Expert”. Micki from Atlanta, GA asked what natural ingredients she could use as a mask for her oily skin.
Thanks for the question Micki. Masks are a great way to keep oily skin under control and looking its best. The Cream Cheese Lemon mask is great for oily skin. The lemon pulls excess oil from skin while the cream cheese keeps skin soft and supple without depositing any oil. I recommend using it once a week.
Fresh natural ingredients from your kitchen work just as well as any fancy formulas you can purchase. Be sure to do a patch test on a small area of skin before applying to your face in case of any potential allergic reactions.
Cream Cheese Lemon Mask
1/2 lemon (peeled and pureed)
3oz cream cheese (preferably organic)
Mix together until you have a creamy paste. Apply to clean skin for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Moisturize as normal.
Keep the questions coming by posting them here as a comment. When in doubt, “Ask the Expert”!

Beauty on A Budget???
Think twice before you splurge on those high end beauty treatments at the department store. You can actually get the same results in the comforts of your own abode for a fraction of the cost. Rough dry skin?…Go to the kitchen and whip up a honey oatmeal mask. Acne prone?…Check out your medicine cabinet to make an aspirin mask. You’ll be amazed at the results you can get from homemade remedies. You’ll also pat yourself on the back for the extra cushion you kept in your wallet. The added bonus is that you will know exactly what ingredients are going on your skin. No mystery serums here. So now, maybe there will be room in the budget for those stillettos you’ve been drooling over. For more beauty budget ideas check out this video from Fox News.
