All about Chlorophyll

CHLOROPHYLL - one of my favourite things to help reduce acne, and support skin clarity.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in many plants, algae and cyanobacteria which helps plants get their energy from natural sunlight; and eventually produce oxygen and glucose!

Studies have shown that Chlorophyll has potent anti-inflammatory activity, by inhibiting TNF-a and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), reduces sebum production, enhances phase 2 liver detoxification pathways (to enhance excess hormonal and toxin clearance), and has powerful antioxidant properties, which prevents cellular damage systemically, and in the skin tissue.

Because your skin is a channel of elimination, we need to support toxin clearance through our other eliminatory channels, such as our gut, our lymphatic system, and our natural detoxifiers such as our liver and kidneys. If any of these areas are impacted, toxins will come out in your skin

This is part of my recommendation for all of my acne clients, and has worked wonders for so many of them! I have been adding 1 tablespoon of chlorophyll to my water daily for YEARS!

It is also wonderful for eliminating toxins from the mouth and freshening up breath, making it a great mouthwash!
