Itchy Skin? Try THIS

Changing skin can be one of the worst parts of getting older.
Sure, the sags and wrinkles can be hard to look at.
But the painful itching and extreme sensitivity can really make your life miserable.
Even worse? The mainstream’s options are USELESS.
That’s because they don’t get to the ROOT CAUSE of your itchy skin.
Fortunately, there are a few all-natural ways to STOP this maddening condition at its SOURCE.
Certain irritants – like bug bites, chemicals and even some plants – make your skin itchy.
This reaction is caused by your immune system and it usually lasts for a few days.
But chronic itching – like the type caused by aging – is something completely different.
It’s called mechanical itching and it can be triggered by even the lightest pressure.
And once this type of itching starts it’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to stop.
You see, it sets up an itch-scratch-itch cycle – the more you scratch the more you itch and vice versa.
Mechanical itching happens in your older years because your skin loses its protective barrier due to lack of nutrients.
Moisturizing you skin is one approach to stopping mechanical itching, but it doesn’t get restore the nutrients that can END your itching for GOOD.
Luckily, supplementing can give you better results. Getting more of the appropriate nutrients can RESTORE your skin’s protective barrier… and even REVERSE your symptoms.
Dr. Scott’s Skin Health Protocol:
- Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It helps to ensure the health and vitality of your skin, hair, tendon, cartilage, bones, and joints. It even helps to reduce wrinkles. Most of us don’t get any collagen in our diets, so supplementation is your best bet.
- Vitamin C helps your body produce collagen. Humans are one of only a few mammals that cannot make their own vitamin C, so supplementing is vital. Just eat more fruits and veggies or grab a vitamin C chewable from your local pharmacy.
- Carotenoids are the naturally occurring red and yellow pigments in plants. These include antioxidants like beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene. These are great at protecting your skin from UV radiation and free radicals. This helps to protect your skin from further damage.
- Omega-3 deficiency is one of the key drivers of all modern health issues. They are essential for the integrity of your skin and can help it retain moisture. But they are almost completely missing from our diets. I recommend supplementing 1-3 grams a day.
Health and Happiness,
