-
Great detox juice to try (if you're pregnant, have extremely low blood pressure or on your period, DO NOT drink this!):
-
Blend (or juice if you don't have a blender): kale, cucumber, celery, bitter melon, beetroot, grapes with seed and green apple (eating these don't count), drink this 2-3 times a week (but not too late at night). This will help reduce fluid retention on your face and body as well as cleanse your gut and liver. Make sure you're not allergic to any of these ingredients and don't drink this at the end of the night.
-
Quantity for each fruit or vegetable: We suggest adding a bit more apple to sweeten the overall taste, everything else can be a small piece or a whole fruit if it's not too big. If bitter melon is not in season, the we suggest adding a bit more celery, cucumber and kale.

BREAKOUTS AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT AFFECTS YOUR SKIN, MOOD AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
More than often, we can get a breakout here and there. But what does it actually mean?
With the wedding coming up, it's perfectly normal to feel more stressed than normal. The key is to address it as soon as you can rather than putting it off until 'you have time'.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), our face is like a map that can tell us a lot about our inner health. Each area of the face corresponds to different organs in the body. For example, breakouts on the forehead may be linked to digestive issues or stress, while the cheeks are often connected to the stomach, which can be affected by poor diet and food allergies. The chin is thought to reflect hormonal imbalances, which is why breakouts often happen there during certain times of the month.
The skin requires on average about 30 days to regenerate, this means if today is 1st June and your wedding is on 1st September, your skin only has 3 cycles to try repair itself. You also need to take into consideration how well your body responds to changes and how long it takes during times of stress.
This healing process can reflect on your skin because the gut and skin are closely connected. While some improvements might be noticeable within a couple of weeks of addressing gut health, it typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks to see significant changes in the skin. Consistency with gut-friendly habits—like eating fiber-rich foods, reducing processed sugars, and managing stress—can lead to clearer, more radiant skin over time.

Recommendations for some common issues that shows up on your skin:
-
Tired/dry eyes, slight yellow on the whites of the eye, dark circles: Improve your liver function. Try going to be earlier if possible, preferably be asleep between 10pm to 2am as the body does its big self cleansing between this time, including the liver and gall bladder. Food you can try to incorporate into your diet:
-
Peppermint tea with no sugar or milk (loose leaves if possible as they are better quality)
-
Chrysanthemum tea with no sugar or milk (or Chamomile tea)
-
Dark green leafy vegetables
-
Bitter Melon
-
Turmeric (powder form is probably the easiest to find at health stores)
-
-
-
-
-
- Breakouts around your mouth/chin: Improve your bowel movements, eat food that will help your body flush out toxins more than normal as your body is telling you its building up too much. Try the following and see if you can include this in your daily diet:
-
papaya (long ones are sweeter)
-
gold kiwi fruit (1 = 3 oranges)
-
green juice (see above)
-
fresh ginger tea (1cm x 2cm size ginger, add in a cup of water, boil on medium heat for 7 minutes. This must be consumed hot, or enough for you to drink. This will de-bloat your stomach within 5 minutes)

Breakout on your forehead: Improve your digestion, avoid anything oily as it'll forms an unnecessary grease lining that prevents us from absorbing what we need and eats away your energy. Stress can also be one of the contributing factors, hence causing inflammation inside the body (your body is hotter during this time). 'Cooling' the body down by eating food that's not high in heat (hence deep fried food contains a lot of heat). Try the following:
-
Gut detox programs - we recommend https://www.regul8.com.au/
-
Green juice as above
-
Avoid deep fried and oily
-
Chrysanthemum tea or chamomile tea
-

-
Breakout on the cheeks: Again, improve your digestion and if this is serious, you can get a test done at your local GP for H Pylori bacteria (Helicobacter Pylori). This is just a breath test to see if there is a high level of this bacteria in your stomach that is causing this breakout. Most people with Rosacea have this bacteria hence causing small pimples on the cheeks that never seem to go away. Try the following:
-
Gut detox programs (you'll need to go on it for several times) - we recommend https://www.regul8.com.au/
-
Green juice as above
-
Avoid deep fried and oily
-
Chrysanthemum tea or chamomile tea
