I am just wondering if anybody has tried using mineral skin care products? I have heard so much about it. I know minerals are essential to keep our skin healthy but when it comes to beauty products are they as effective as the food that we eat that are rich in minerals?

Mineralisation is a key element to naturally achieve beautiful and healthy skin. Clear, glowing skin, strong nails, shiny hair and bright eyes, are all signs of a healthy, well-nourished and deeply-mineralised body.

In this article, we explain how you can improve the health and appearance of your skin by incorporating mineral-rich foods into your diet, as a complement of your external skin care. We elaborate on five minerals that have a particularly important role in beauty and healthy skin and give a few other suggestions that will help you to become more deeply mineralised.

The importance of minerals

Minerals are nutrients required for every body function, from activating muscles and nerves, to digestion, energy production as well as all healing and regeneration activities of the body.

According to research, there are 92 minerals that play a positive role in human nutrition. At least ten of them are major minerals (such as sulphur, calcium, iron, magnesium, etc.) and the rest are trace minerals (zinc, selenium, manganese, etc.)

However, most of us are deficient in vital minerals due to the low mineral content of most of our foods. Did you know that practically all our food today is lower in trace minerals than it was a hundred years ago? A study by Dr Weston Price found that healthy primitive tribes ate five to ten times the amount of minerals than we do.
