INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR OF FACE VALUE, GREGORY LANDSMAN FOR BOOKS, TEA, HEALTHY ME
Q1. WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT DIY SKINCARE?
I love DIY skincare because it is simple, effective, accessible and costs next to nothing. With the right DIY formulas we can take the health of our skin back into our own hands, and that means no longer needing to rely on expensive products to look after it. I also love that it is based on rock solid science and that with the right information people can take years off their faces with ingredients in everyday foods.
Q2. DO YOU THINK SKIN CARE NEEDS TO BE COMPLICATED OR EXPENSIVE TO GET GREAT RESULTS?
Looking after our skin is much easier than we have been led to believe, but this certainly isn’t the impression you get when walking through a department store with literally hundreds of products claiming to have ‘the solution’ to your skin problems.
However, a large part of this confusion goes away when we are armed with the knowledge that the most powerful anti aging ingredients can be found in the kitchen and that powerful skincare formulas can be made in minutes for very little cost.
Q3. CAN YOU GET GOOD SKIN RESULTS USING NATURAL INGREDIENTS WITHOUT CHEMICALS?
I don’t think there is anything more powerful than using what the earth has grown on your skin. You can heal, strengthen, tighten, brighten and protect skin, as well as regenerate skin cells with the pure vitamins and minerals found in everyday plants, fruits and vegetables.
Science shows us that all the most powerful anti aging ingredients such as retinol, alpha hydroxy acid, ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid are derived from natural ingredients and these can all be found in the foods we eat, and used topically to dramatically enhance the vitality and health of your skin.
Q4. WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE CONSCIOUS OF WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING AT SKIN CARE PRODUCTS THAT USE THE TERM NATURAL?
What we put on our skin is absorbed into the body which means that what we apply topically to our skin is as important as the food we eat, as it has been shown to contribute to our overall health and well being. So the right skincare will not only support the health of our skin, but our overall health when we feed it potent, pure skin building vitamins and minerals.
Q5. WHAT REALLY AGES THE SKIN?
Something that is not commonly understood is that our skin is impacted on a daily basis by environmental toxins and lifestyle elements that create skin stress and cause it to prematurely.
Environmental elements that damage the skin include exposure to sun, pollution, heating and cooling.
Lifestyle elements that damage the skin include the chemicals in food, the toxins in household products, the chemicals in personal care products, (such as shampoo and soap), smoking, alcohol and sugar consumption.
The other stress that ages the skin is the stress we feel. When we are stressed the body releases the stress hormone cortisol, which I call the wrinkle-causing hormone because it damages and ages the skin. This is why we ultimately cannot separate how we look from how we feel.
All of these elements create skin stress and premature skin aging.
To keep ourselves looking our best over time we need to de-stress the skin so it ages less! This can be done by feeding the skin the nutrients it needs to counteract skin stress.
We also need to do everything we can to feel good on a daily basis, as good feelings support great looking skin.
Q5. WHEN WORKING WITH FACES HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH WRINKLES?
When I work with faces I never focus on the lines, but on what they are trying to tell me. Wrinkles are powerful messengers that show us what is taking place in our inner world. They tell us about the stress we are carrying, the amount of water we are drinking, the quality of food we are eating, our breathing patterns and the sadness we are feeling.
From my experience of working with faces for more than three decades, it is not a wrinkle that ages a human being, but their stress levels and lifestyle that show on their faces. It only makes sense that everything we do that impacts our internal body, eventually shows up on the outside.
I have found that we can take years off our faces when we manage our stress levels and learn to breathe correctly, eat correctly, sleep well and address our emotional, mental and spiritual well being.
Q6. WHY DO YOU INCLUDE YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF BEAUTY IN ALL YOUR BOOKS?
For as long as we can remember we have been presented with unrealistic images of beauty and what we must look like to be seen as ‘beautiful’. But the truth is that we all have our own unique beauty that needs to be celebrated, as real beauty comes from inside and reflects our humanity and the kindness we bring to the world.
So while we all want to look as good as we can for as long as we can, I don’t believe we should focus on changing who we are, but making the most of all aspects of who we are.
“Beauty comes in all forms colours shapes and sizes
Gregory Landsman
And when we can accept this simple truth
We will no longer hurt ourselves and each other
For the simple things that make us human.”
