Hair and Skin

I mostly talk about inner nutrition, and now I want to delve into outer nutrition.  I just took the most amazing shower, and feel so good after two workouts this morning.  One steep hike and then my Hot Mama Power walk with wonderful fellow mama's getting it in!

I was talking to a good friend of mine was on some kind of diet that for the first few weeks not only did not allow to eat any fat, but not even to put lotion on the body, because the body would absorb the fat it was not getting from food.  So interesting, I learned so much science from our UCLA partnering Doctors this weekend.  One of the most amazing things I learned was that Omega 6 from wheat and corn causes inflammation.  Believe it or not a little inflammation is necessary, but in our culture, its all Super Sized.  Omega 3 reduces inflammation, and we get that from fish and avocados, but we usually do not get enough.  It is so good for our heart, as well as for pregnant mommies, a great nutrient to for the development of the baby's brain.  Quality is also important, did you know that when you go to a store they have shelf grade which is 5% of whatever nutrient that is on the cover, and pharmaceutical grade is 95%.  All the Herbalife Products are Pharmaceutical Grade, the highest quality ingredients, and a great low price.  I love our Omega 3 Herbalifeline, I take it daily, and I just learned that all of the Herbalife Shakes from their inception 32 years ago have never contained Omega 6 - now that's forward thinking :)

So last year Herbalife came out with a hair and skin line using our Herbal Aloe that is grown in Mexico, in our own fields, we operate with the SEED TO FEED philosophy.  We are currently constructing plants that will extract the nutrients and best part of the plant, in China where our Green Tea is grown, and here in the USA. 

I have never been particular about shampoo, and have never preferred brands or expensive salon varieties, but since this is my store I decided to try it.  My hair feels clean and light, and what I love the most is it is all plant based.  Instead of using Laurel and Laureth Sulfates like most shelf grade shampoos use, we use coconut and apple to make that lather we love so much.  The conditioner is also light and has a subtle pleasant scent, but what I love the most is the Hand and Body wash.  When I wash those areas that are sensitive, anything chemical does not feel good.  Afterwards the Body Cream is so nice, also subtle scent, and absorbs immediately and not oily.

I don't know about you and where you live, but here in LA, right now I am so dry, in my throat, on my skin.  Miami was magic for my skin, here it needs constant attention.  For my face I use our SPF 15 Moisturizer, so light and I know I am protected.  I am excited to try our line of skin products with glucosamine complex wih is great for a smooth face, if you know what I mean.  Most products out there are made from Shellfish, ours are from Beet Sugar - LOVE IT!

I like things simple, I like to get ready quick, feel good, look good - I love top quality products that make life easy.

Thank you Herbalife,
