If there is one concern I hear more than anything at the El Shaddai Atomy Center, it is this: “Eydie, why is my skin reacting? What is going on?”
Maybe your skin feels:
- Itchy
- Red
- Sensitive
- Dry
- Oily and irritated
- Or suddenly unpredictable
Many women tell me, “My skin was never like this before!” And I always smile gently and say, “Your skin is speaking. Let’s listen together.”
Your skin is one of God’s most honest messengers. It reveals what is happening inside your body, not just on the surface.
When it reacts, it’s not punishing you, it’s protecting you.
Let’s talk about why it’s reacting… and how you can naturally calm it.
🌿 1. Chemical Overload, the Silent Skin Aggravator
Modern skincare and cosmetics often contain:
-
- Fragrance
- Alcohols
- Harsh surfactants
- Preservatives
- Dyes
- Petroleum byproducts
- Pore-blocking silicones
Even products labeled “clean” or “gentle” can contain irritants.
Many women have used chemical-heavy products for years, not knowing the burden they place on the skin.
Eventually, the skin says: “I can’t do this anymore.”
This is when you see:
-
- Redness
- Burning
- Tightness
- Breakouts
- Flaking
The Natural Solution
Switching to clean, toxin-free, botanical-based products (like Atomy’s skincare line) gives your skin room to breathe again. When clients switch to natural formulas, I often hear: “My skin feels calmer… softer… less angry.” Because what you remove matters just as much as what you add.
💛 2. Stress, the Invisible Skin Enemy
Stress affects everything:
-
- Hormones
- Inflammation
- Oil production
- Healing responses
When cortisol rises, skin reacts.
I tell my clients gently: “Your skin knows your heart.”
Stress may show up as:
-
- Sudden breakouts
- Rashes
- Eczema or psoriasis flare-ups
- Dullness
- Overproduction of oil
- Underproduction of moisture
The Natural Solution
-
- Deep breathing
- Prayer and quiet time
- Clean nutrition
- Gentle skincare
- Calming teas
- A slower evening routine
One of my favorite rituals is a warm face cleanse followed by a calming cream while speaking Scripture over my evening.
Your spirit and your skin both need peace.
🌸 3. Hormones — A Beautiful, Complicated Rhythm
Hormones change naturally with:
-
- Age
- Menopause
- Stress
- Diet
- Sleep patterns
- Medications
- Blood sugar fluctuations
These fluctuations often lead to:
-
- Acne
- Sensitivity
- Dry patches
- Oiliness
- Texture changes
Some women think their skincare “stopped working,” but it’s actually their hormones shifting.
The Natural Solution
Support your body from within with:
-
- Atomy Probiotics
- Atomy Vitamin C
- Omega-3
- HemoHIM for immune and cellular balance
- Clean hydration
- More leafy greens
- Less processed sugar
Healthy gut, gentle hormone balance, and lowered inflammation create calmer, happier skin.
🥗 4. Diet: What You Eat Shows on Your Face
Food is one of the most overlooked skin triggers.
These often cause inflammation:
-
- Dairy
- Sugar
- Fried foods
- Processed snacks
- Alcohol
- Artificial sweeteners
- Gluten (for some people)
Inflammation in the gut shows up as inflammation on the skin.
The Natural Solution
Focus on:
-
- Fresh vegetables
- Clean proteins
- Anti-inflammatory foods (ginger, garlic, berries)
- Hydration
- Natural supplements
- A whole-food lifestyle
Even small shifts bring big results.
Your skin reflects what your body is celebrating.
