I do some modeling, though it has been put on hold a bit until I graduate. I'm actually trying to improve my appearance once again. When I started modeling I did ballet 3 days a week for a few hours each night. Now I do some yoga, bellydance, and zumba (Not as much as I'd like to, but I'm working on that). I found that in order to keep my skin clear I can never eat peanuts. Also, I have found that echinacea root improves my skin.

Hi Retta,

What is the problem with peanuts? I have never heard that about peanuts and skin problems... I love peanuts and want to get some raw peanuts so I'm interested in what you have to say about that... does anyone else notice skin problems with peanuts?

I breakout really bad whenever I have even the smallest amount of peanuts. I absolutely love how they taste, but face suffers when I eat them.

One thing I noticed on this site, an insane amount of beautiful people. I don't know if it's the food or what, but i'm sticking with raw foods. ;)

I am other than a raw model. I do however have some suggestions for you.
This book http://www.amazon.com/Eating-Beauty-David-Wolfe/dp/1556437323/ref=p..., was a massive inspiration to me when I first began my healing journey. One of my favourite 'raw' books.

Also check out http://www.amazon.com/Your-Own-Perfect-Medicine-Incredible/dp/09632...
Do some research on urea and its skin moisturizing properties.

Also fresh aloe vera is up there with urine.

The most important thing in my opinion for skin health, is clean flowing pipes on the inside, the quality and quantity of nutrtion coming into the body and the quality and quantity of water and salt in the body.

I own that book and have thoroughly enjoyed it...I just wonder, a lot of those beautifying foods are quite "fatty"...too much fat isn't as energizing sometimes...what do you think?
