CAYENNE PEPPERS are a remarkable fruit with the legendary power to promote holistic health of the body and skin. Best known as a hot spice containing the stimulant capsaicin, the cayenne pepper is packed with vitamins, minerals and beneficial properties that come together to deliver a plethora of skin beautifying benefits!
ULTRAVIOLET DEFENSE
Vitamin E is a significant oil-soluble antioxidant in the body, creating a protective barrier for the skin to lock in moisture and guard it against external environmental assault. Cayenne peppers contain one of the highest, most stable concentrations of vitamin E. When used in conjunction with vitamin C and selenium, it enables a sun-protecting shield for the skin against ultraviolet radiation and inhibits UVBtriggered skin inflammation.
ANTI-AGING
Cayenne peppers help to combat against fines lines and wrinkles in the skin. High concentrations of vitamin A, including beta-carotene, play a significant role in regenerating and maintaining supple skin, and encourage the production of collagen and elastin. The combination of vitamin B, potassium, calcium, iron, manganese and magnesium synergistically work to increase moisture, hydrate, nourish and protect skin against dermatitis, which often affects aging skin, and helps with cellular metabolism and enzymatic function in order for the necessary enzymes to regulate DNA replication and repair. The minerals boost cell growth and renewal, accentuating a vibrant, even textured glow. Properties in cayenne peppers even repair the visible signs of both chronologic and sun-related skin aging.
ACNE CONTROL
The impeccable anti-inflammatory properties of cayenne peppers work to remedy inflammation related skin conditions such as acne. Capsaicin, though topically aggressive (and to be used with caution), is a strong constituent of cayenne that works to eliminate inflammation. When applied to the skin it may feel intense and cause temporary surface redness; but once the hot sensation settles, the ingredient has a calming effect. Magnesium, along with vitamins A and B, work together to control acne and reduce breakouts. The peppers create a healing environment for the skin, allowing for the repair of acne breakouts and blemishes.
DETOXIFICATION
Toxins that sit in the body are destructive to the cells. They trigger acne, pimples and blemishes, and even exacerbate cellulite accumulation. When applied topically, the aggressive stimulant can increase blood circulation throughout the entire body or in localized areas. This boost in circulation improves nutrient and oxygen distribution throughout the body, assisting in better lymphatic drainage and promoting the purge of toxins from the bloodstream.
FIGHTS CELLULITE
Cellulite is localized lipodystrophy, a condition in which specific areas of the body have damaged fat tissue. Because cellulite accumulates over time, it is an ongoing battle. The core problem of fat tissue damage is due to poor circulation in the cellulite-stricken areas of the body. Cellulite progresses due to lack of circulation, accumulation of toxins and free radicals. The high antioxidant content of cayenne peppers, especially the cell metabolism boosting vitamin B, along with vitamins A and C, successfully neutralize offensive free radicals that attack the fat tissue. Capsaicin is a phenomenal blood circulation and lymphatic drainage stimulant. It works to repair damaged circulation and facilitates the removal of toxins from the fat tissue, ultimately smoothing the dimply cellulite appearance.
RELIEVES PAIN
When a person experiences pain, the body sends a chemical messenger called substance P to the brain. Through the action of capsaicin, cayenne pepper has a remarkable ability to lower substance P. By decreasing substance P, there is less of the chemical to travel to the brain, and in turn, less pain. Capsaicin can also serve as a distraction from pain by activating a different kind of intense sensation, taking the brain’s attention away from the original source of distress.
TREATS PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is typically categorized as an inflammatory skin disease that appears in patches throughout the body. These patches tend to be red, raised and with a whitish flaky buildup of keratin from the overproduction of skin cells. Capsaicin is remarkable for soothing and reducing discomfort related to dry, itchy skin. The anti-inflammatory traits of the peppers lessen the redness, irritation, scaling and thickness of the patches.
INTERNAL BOOST
One way to offer your clients the nutritional benefits of this spice is to offer them a cup of hot water with lemon kicked up with a dash of cayenne pepper to complement their treatments. You can recommend they incorporate this into their daily wellness ritual as well. The infusion increases blood circulation, which promotes a glowing complexion. It also heals the body from the inside out, boosting vitality and stamina, improving heart health and enhancing metabolism.
