The “best laid plans go astray” is a quote from Robert Burns book “To a Mouse” written in 1786. This quote alludes to the fact that no matter how well you prepare, your plans may not succeed. Have you made skin care plans and purchases and not met your skin care goals? The book titled, “Motivational Interviewing” written by William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick suggests a step-by-step process that includes engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning to promote self-efficacy during coaching. It may be possible to develop a self-motivating approach based on motivational interviewing (MI) processes to help you achieve your goals.
Protein Intake, Quality and Timing to Enhance Skin Health by Deborah Tosline
Typically, folks in the United States (US) consume enough protein to meet their dietary needs. Protein is comprised of amino acids that support skin health, collagen and elastin. Amino acids directly support the skin’s appearance, wound repair, cellular moisture, sun protection and the microbiome. Recent research and dietary nuances indicate that we should re-evaluate the amount, quality and timing of our protein intake to optimize health.
Taurine for Skin Health, Longevity and More by Deborah Tosline
When a substance, protocol, or lifestyle promotes longevity, you can bet it will benefit the skin. Our internal condition is expressed on the skin which can show evidence of internal health imbalances. The best way to improve skin conditions is from the inside. You already know how to optimize your health; do you choose yourself on a daily basis? Most folks don’t prioritize their health until an issue arises.

Recently, I began taking Taurine for tinnitus and soon learned that it is an amazing supplement for skin and health as well. Taurine supplementation has been found to promote skin hydration from within.
Avoiding Toxic Synthetic Chemicals for Life by Deborah Tosline
My story is simple. As a teenager, I realized that I needed to be able to take care of myself for the rest of my life. As a young adult, I understood that I was miserable working when I did not feel well. I decided that I would do everything in my power to maintain my health including embracing nature-based practices and avoiding synthetic chemicals.
My Decades Long Sauna Compulsion by Deborah Tosline
Starting in the late 1970’s, I educated myself on exercise, nutrition and healthy living. I developed a lifestyle routine based on how I felt a couple of hours after I ate, drank or experienced something. If I felt good, I repeated the experience. Over time, I noticed that my lifestyle choices were beneficial to my well-being. Experiencing good results on multiple levels, in a variety of ways, validated that I could trust my gut instinct to guide my nature-based life path. The first time that I used a sauna, I felt good and knew that sauna bathing would be a new routine.
The Skin Biome and Pre-, Pro-, and Postbiotics by Deborah Tosline
When I think of the human skin microbiome, I am reminded of how important the human gut biome is for good personal health. Further, the Earth’s biomes are fundamental to sustaining life as we know it. A biome is a community of organisms that naturally occur within the same general area. Millions of beneficial bacteria, fungi and viruses colonize to create the microbiota that protect and nourish our skin.
The Constant Waste Stream and Plastic Packaging Chain of the Beauty Supply Industry - Waste Management Begins with You by Deborah Tosline
There are many reasons why I “Do-It-Yourself” (DIY) skin care products: I strive to reduce my exposure to synthetic chemicals and the uncertainty of skincare products, have a preference for high quality ingredients, like to reduce costs and not the least of which I try to reduce the waste that I personally generate on a daily basis.
