Constipation can be an important factor in skin disease, and exercise designed to correct constipation should be practiced whenever feasible. To get the maximum benefit, exercise should be performed with the minimum of clothing. Most of us make certain our house plants get plenty of fresh air and adequate sunshine, yet we deny these to our own bodies. Clothing prevents rapid evaporation of perspiration and elimination of odor, literally smothering the skin in it's own excrement. Denying your body fresh air forces your other excretory organs to do work that was intended for your skin.
Healthy skin demands only fresh air, some sunshine and cleanliness.
Instead, we feed it creams, lotions, powders, perfumes, deodorizers, anti-per spirants, and all the thousand and one commercial preparations which are promoted through advertising and available in every corner store. As mentioned previously, the skin can be nourished only by your blood supply. The most expensive creams and lotions cannot 'nourish' your skin one iota. Clean, healthy skin does not require perform. Powder, like dirt, for example, clogs your pores.
