Would you like to have
a vibrant, wrinkle-free,
even-toned complexion?
Today we’ll meet
a skin care expert who
believes that one secret
to clear, youthful skin is
a diet rich in fresh fruits
and vegetables and free of
the toxins found in meat
and processed foods.
Welcome to Healthy Living
on Supreme Master
Television.
Today we’re going to talk
with Veronika, a beauty
and skin care consultant.
Hi, Veronika.
Can you introduce
yourself?
My name is Veronika.
I’m an Armenian.
I have been in the beauty
and skin care business
for almost twenty years.
And for many years
I worked for cosmetic
and skin care companies,
and I decided to open
my own skin care line
about 15 years ago.
To a large extent our
skin’s vitality depends on
our overall bodily health.
I did a lot of reading
and educating myself
about natural extracts,
and I found out
it’s great to use;
absolutely no chemicals
in your body,
including your food.
So I started to change
my diet, little by little.
I started to teach my boys
how important it is not to
use animal products.
Since then we started to
change our lifestyle,
which is great.
The vitamins from food;
it actually makes
a huge difference.
There's a lot of good
vitamins in broccoli,
green vegetables;
that's why I recommend
my clients to include
lots of green in their food
as far as vegetables.
Vitamins A, E and C
produce a lot of
antioxidants for the body
which helps us to get
protection from the sun,
because it prevents
sun damage.
If you have
stronger antioxidants,
your body would get
less sun damage.
Vitamin A, found in
green, leafy vegetables
and yellow vegetables
such as pumpkins, sweet
potatoes and carrots,
helps to repair skin tissue,
promotes
cell reproduction,
facilitates hair growth
and improves eyesight.
Vitamin C, found in
berries, tomatoes, kale,
asparagus and citrus
fruits, is critical in the
production of collagen,
which protects
the skin from damage
by free radicals caused
by pollution and
excessive sun exposure.
Vitamin E, a component
of wheat germ, seed oils,
walnuts, almonds and
brown rice, is also
an antioxidant that
guards the skin
against free radicals.
Alpha-lipoic acid is
a powerful antioxidant
found in spinach,
brewer’s yeast, broccoli,
tomatoes and peas.
Do you recommend
different things depending
on the age of the person?
All the vitamins that
include antioxidants,
it's great for all ages.
I usually recommend
people after 30 to use
biotin, which is
a great vitamin for
the skin, hair and nails.
And they can use
alpha-lipoic, which is
my favorite antioxidant
and vitamin C.
It's the best vitamin.
I also give my clients
topical vitamin A
for their skin to use
topically, which has
a beautiful result.
I learned for many years
being in this practice
how to teach my clients
to be healthy
from inside to outside.
If their diet is not
a good diet, if they are
not eating based on
vegetables and fruits,
basically their skin is not
going to respond well
to their diet.
So the main thing that
I teach my clients is to
eat healthy and be green;
eat as much vegetables
and fruit as possible.
What causes wrinkles
and aging to our skin?
Well there are so many
reasons for causing
wrinkles and aging.
First of all,
great dehydration can
cause a lot of wrinkles
and aging so we have to
make sure as much as
we can to feed the body
with vitamins,
supplements and water.
We have to make sure
we have enough of
a shield for the skin,
which is a moisturizer
based on vitamins and
natural extracts and
the water temperature
that we use and
the quality of water that
we use to wash and clean
the skin and there's
lots of reasons as far as
deficiency of vitamins.
That's why
I emphasize the vitamins
and antioxidants
that it’s especially great
for the skin.
The deficiency of vitamins
can cause a lot of wrinkles
and it will quicken
the aging process.
Keeping well hydrated
is vital to our health.
Did you know that
60% of our body weight
is water?
Thus to keep skin vibrant
and to flush toxins
from our system,
it is always important to
drink plenty of fluids.
The esteemed Mayo Clinic
in the United States
recommends those in
temperate climates drink
at least two to three liters
of water a day.
Experts recommend
not to rely on thirst
as an indicator of
the need to drink water,
because typically by that
point the body is already
slightly dehydrated.
Fruits and vegetables also
have water within them
and are another great way
to keep fluids
in the body.
I have so many clients
that they've been coming
to me for 15, 18 years and
I see a great difference
in their skin.
I teach them it’s really
important they take care
of themselves externally
as well as internally;
so just a combination
of both
makes a big difference.
And what is the response
that you get
from the clients?
Well,
I get a great response
because I practice that
in my own lifestyle, and
then I teach them and the
clients follow my routine,
they follow my diet, they
get a beautiful response
and I can see
the difference.
Please stay with us
to learn more about
how you can take care of
your health and beauty.
Please stay tuned to
Supreme Master
Television.
Drinking clean water
hydrates your skin,
it removes all the toxins,
chemicals; it just
makes a big difference.
My name is Veronika.
I have been an esthetician
for 20 years.
With my practice I use
a lot of natural plants
and I would love to
recommend to everybody,
if you like to have
beautiful, healthy skin,
Go Green!
Be Veg.
Welcome back to
Supreme Master
Television.
On today’s edition of
Healthy Living,
skin care specialist
Veronika Babayan
shares some handy tips
for maintaining a healthy,
youthful complexion.
There's lots of women,
girls, older women that
have no idea about
their skin routine.
So I decided,
“Why don't I do shows,
like home shows,
to teach them about
their regular routine?”
So when I have
a gathering of like five
to 10 women, I just
cook food and I just have
them to taste the food
and feel great before
we start the skin care
demonstration.
So everybody appreciates
it and that makes them
come back again because
they have a chance to
experience the food, to
eat healthy and they just
love that experience.
A vegetarian diet filled
with fresh fruits and
vegetables is essential
to maintaining healthy,
attractive skin because
the body easily processes
these foods, which are
high in nutrients that
enhance skin health,
stimulate cell growth and
reduce skin inflammation
and other conditions.
Veronika now shares
her personal experience
of taking meat out of
her diet and
the resulting benefits.
My body is responding
really well and I feel
great about my health.
The most important
changes I see in my body
is I feel more healthy,
I feel more lightweight,
and I feel emotionally
very happy.
I see a huge difference
as far as
on a psychological
and emotional level
and a physical level.
Veronika enjoys
introducing her exemplary,
wholesome, meat-free
lifestyle to her clients.
Sandy became my client
about nine months ago.
I saw she has a lot of
sensitivity on her skin and
she needs a lot of help.
And I started to do
a consultation as far as
her skin care routine.
After the facial
I had lunch with her.
So I taught her how I eat;
that’s the reason
my skin is looking good.
So she started to,
little by little,
change her diet.
I gave her
a lot of information
about vitamins
and supplements also.
Ever since she is
coming to me, I see
beautiful hydration; her
redness has gone down
like almost
I would say 70%,
and every time I see her,
she is very happy.
So why do you
keep coming back?
Why do I keep
coming back?
Because
I love her cooking.
Because I really see
a huge difference
each time that I see her.
It's not only what you put
on externally but it's also
what you put inside
your body that
make a difference.
Veronika next
describes some common
skin conditions and
their possible causes.
Well, pimples sometimes
can be related to diet,
sometimes
related to stress,
and sometimes related to
a certain type of bacteria.
Dry, flaky skin,
the reason it happens
could be a few reasons.
One of them is
environmental damage.
It could be because of
the hot water and
it could be because of the
poor circulation of blood.
It happens
because of poor diet,
because of stress,
because of
not a good lifestyle,
not the right lifestyle.
So I'll drink a lot of water
and moderate the
temperature of the water.
We can also get flaky skin
using a lot of soap,
because the pH balance
of the soap,
it doesn't match with
our skin pH balance.
So there's a lot of
alkaline in the soap that
has a hard chemical
that doesn't match with
our skin pH balance
so that way we can just
get flaky skin.
Having healthy, beautiful
skin is highly desirable,
and now we know how
easy it is to look good!
Be vegan and live a
confident, cruelty-free,
complete life!
We thank
Ms. Veronika Babayan
for her useful skincare
tips and for reminding us
that to look and feel
our best, it is just
as important to
take care of the inside of
our body as the outside.
Bright viewers,
thank you for joining us

An animal rescue shelter
where residents
can live out their lives…
There isn’t a time;
we don’t think in terms
of timeframe.
It’s a whole life and
they will be with us
until they find a home,
and that’s
the no- kill movement.
It makes you feel
really good working
for an organization that
doesn’t euthanize animals.
