Interview Silke with Margaret Richters
Epigenetic Orthomolecular Therapist
HOW DO YOU SUPPORT THE TREATMENT OF SENSITIVE SKIN, ROSACEA SKIN AND ECZEMA WITH YOUR DIET?
Margaret Richters runs a top emerginC salon in Rotterdam, where she also works as an epigenetic orthomolecular therapist. That sounds very complicated, and. it is! That's why we are happy that Margaret teaches here, but is also willing to share her wisdom so that we can optimally assist our clients. She has noticed that the combination nutrition-emerginC yields very good results, because with emerginC you also continue to look at and listen to the skin, not overload it, and give it what it needs; what you do with food for your body.
Margaret even treats dermatologists, but of course also "ordinary people" who all come to her with a skin problem. And as you know, it is always better to tackle it from the inside and the outside. A dermatologist with eczema who came to her was a bit cynical at first, until Margaret showed his blood values; way too low in vitamin D and B, essential in the treatment of this skin condition.
"With rosacea, eczema, among others, you often see that they are related to a leaky gut; it needs to be repaired. You can do that through autography; purging your system through a period of fasting or eating vegetarian three times a week, to remove all the plaque. Constipation is an alarm bell that you should not ignore, the consequences are always on the account of your skin.In terms of diet, I recommend staying away from dairy products or other mucus forming foods, and really eat 250 grams of fresh vegetables twice a day. Furthermore, you will benefit from omega 6 and 9 supplements, vitamin D, C and zinc. Kombucha can also help. It's striking that this corresponds so well with the products of emerginC; With a combination of the vitamin C serum, earth cream and sun cream you make sure that all these ingredients help you from the outside in. I often recommend the active hydrating complex first because it has a vitamin B complex and restores much needed moisture. The hydra repair capsules provide immediate relief and repair."
"Furthermore, histamine plays a big role in these conditions. Therefore, you will notice that in hay fever times, your symptoms get worse. This is reinforced by eating stone fruits (fruits with a large pit, such as cherries) and strawberries. These are best avoided. Supplements that help block histamine are magnesium, vitamin B12 and vitamin C. Furthermore, you can do quite a lot with rosacea with treatments. Elastin loss must be prevented, which can be done by adding pincements to the d-red facial of emerginC".
That this is true proves this email we received from Annemarie Postma, who suffers from this annoying condition:
Hello dear Silke!
Just a hurrah update from the Far North:
I am doing so well! I am so much happier!
It is truly incredible what an upward trend I have come to have with my skin since my treatment from you. A world of difference from a year ago, maybe my skin has never been better. Even the small veins are hardly visible anymore (which pedantic, stubborn, jaded dermatologist now says: "There is nothing to be done about Rosacae, madam".... Or: 'You better throw away all those expensive creams because they are really useless') .... Really said to me, in the hospital.
Well, you did. I am really impressed Silke, because you saw: I really had a problem. Occasionally (and then I'm shocked of course, haha, oooo noeee, not again!, I think I have a Rosacea-trauma (-;)) an inflammation pops up but that is usually after a day - at most two days - already much less.
(Annemarie's product recommendations are: the at home peel clarifying kit, d-red night and day, Kombucha cleanser/aromatic cream tea cleanser(alternate).
Silke from Indigo Cosmetics adds:
Important with this condition: despite the fact that it falls under acne, do not treat it as such, but rather as sensitive skin! The lumps you see with this condition are not the result of accumulated sebum but of long-term inflammatory reactions of the small capillaries that become porous and leak lymph. The moisture balance is often severely disturbed, which is why the active hydrating complex and the d-red line work so well. With this condition it is of great importance not only to tackle the symptoms but also to improve the overall skin condition.
Good luck!
