Fall-Winter Vitiligo Skin


To ensure continued pigmentation in the fall and winter, I have developed a stronger pigment boosting oil to compliment the vitiligo herbal skin cream. I also encourage the use of the soaps available via thewellnesswell.net, as well as the herbal supplement, picrorrhiza. Continuing an aggressive regimen throughout the fall and winter, including getting outside in the sun daily, will potentially reveal more pigmentation as we head into spring and start revealing more skin.

Fall and winter are very drying to the skin. It is important to ensure vitiligo skin is well hydrated with vitiligo skin cream and boosting oil. Using the proper soaps, which promote healthfy skin, to lower inflammation, nouirish and encourage pigmentation are just as important for fall and winter skin care.

Picrorrhiza, the most important and nutritive herbal for vitiligo, helps to ensure balance on the inside, encouraging proper digestion and helping to encourage pigmentation as it tones the liver and improves gut flora.

Adding the 5ml bottle of boosting oil to the Vitiligo Herbal Skin Cream and shaking well with each use makes it easy to apply both products just after showering every morning and as directed by Dr. Kee.

During the fall and winter months, when skin becomes dehydrated, the stress of dried out skin can and often does encourage pigment loss. Make sure you feed, nourish and hydrate your fall and winter skin with the Fall-Winter Rapid Re-Pigmenting Kit, a healthful diet and plenty of mineral rich, pure water for health, wellness and beautiful, pigmenting skin year round.

Vitiligo -- A Nutritional Approach

Vitiligo ranks fifth among autoimmune diseases in this country. Vitiligo is also a genetic disease that is closely related to other autoimmune diseases such as Celiac, lupus, arthritis and multiple sclerosis, research shows. It is often called the Michael Jackson disease – the most famous person to lose his skin color to vitiligo. Vitiligo, like other autoimmune diseases and diseases in general, responds best to nutrition. Studies show nutrition is the most important component in healing, preventing and reversing disease.

A whole foods, plant-based diet is shown to prevent, improve and even reverse autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, muscular sclerosis, and in my research, vitiligo. Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts and seeds trump genetics by turning off the genes that turn on diseases.

Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts and seeds encourages healing, often halting the spread of vitiligo while encouraging the return of natural skin color in a disease that mainstream medicine considers incurable.

Whether you or someone you love suffers from an autoimmune disease like vitiligo or rheumatoid arthritis, or a degenerative disease like cancer, or struggle with obesity -- a whole foods, plant-based diet is shown to prevent, heal or halt these diseases.

Make fresh plant-based foods of fruits that are in season, vegetables in every color in the rainbow, fresh seeds such as raw and unsalted pumpkin and sunflower or nuts such as walnuts in their raw and unsalted state, the main foods in your daily meals for perfect health and wellness.

Caring for your vitiligo skin



Vitiligo Skin Care
By Dr. Kee

Beautiful skin comes from within. I spend a lot of time educating about the benefits of supplements, sunshine, diet and lifestyle to help vitiligo. Skin is a reflection of your general health. Imbalances on the inside show up on the skin.
A holistic or whole body approach to vitiligo includes caring for your skin beyond applying a topical cream. Think about detoxifying the skin every day, with nutrient-dense soaps, exfoliating scrubs, pigment-producing creams and detoxifying dry brushing.
Dry brushing your skin has so many health benefits, including sloughing off dead skin and debris, increasing circulation and bringing bodily toxins to the skin’s surface. You remove a third of toxins through the skin. Every time you sweat, you are drawing toxins out of your body.
Healthful skin begins with a glass of water upon awakening, which helps to flush out toxins that have settled in overnight. Before showering, take the time to dry brush for health. It only takes about 5 minutes to dry brush your entire body. Going in a clockwise motion, dry brush your hands, arms, shoulders and neck, working in the direction of the heart. Make sure you brush your back, in the same clockwise circular motion toward the heart. Then start on your lower limbs and feet, moving upward from the soles of your feet to the ankles, shins, knees, thighs and buttocks, all in a circular motion. Do not dry brush your face.
After dry brushing, take an invigorating shower with pure and natural soaps that contain healing herbs and essential oils, without artificial colors or additives. Rinse well with water cooler than your bath. Once a week, use a healing body scrub that is rich in mineral salts and essential oils to help restore healthful skin. Once you’ve covered your entire body from the soles of your feet to your neck with an invigorating scrub, rinse with cool water.
While your body is still moist, without drying fully, add healing essential oils and cream to your skin, rubbing in a circular motion while imagining your skin as perfectly healthy and disease or blemish free. Imagine your skin healed and free of vitiligo as you care for your skin. Have a cup of herbal tea to infuse volatile oils, minerals and live enzymes into your pampered, detoxified body. Once you’ve finished with this healing ritual, get dressed and seize the day with confidence, sunshine and grace.
Just for vitiligo, I’ve put together a kit that includes a dry brush, psoralea seed and mineral-rich salt body scrub, a bar of honey & blackseed soap and a 100ml jar of psoralen-rich body butter, infused with Vitiligo Herbal Skin Cream TM Extra Strength and Dr. Kee’s Pigment Boosting Essential Oils.
