The Tauranga-based beauty and skin therapist says the skin is the body's largest organ and reflects what's going on in the body.
Rather than trying to suppress skin conditions with drugs or topical creams or ointments, she believes getting the skin healthy and beautiful by eating a healthy diet will help change not only the skin but other problems like low energy, weight redistribution and attitude.
She aims to educate her clients about healthy eating and has developed Bestow Beauty Oil, cold-pressed from New Zealand-grown flax seed that contains equal quantities of omega 6 and 3.
Rather than rubbing it on the skin, you take it with food, using it in dressings or on muesli and other things. It's available through some beauty therapists ($33 for 500ml).
