We know that what we eat (or don\u2019t eat), whether or not we are getting an adequate amount of sleep, how much water we are drinking and stress all contribute to the health and good looks of our skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But what about temperament?\u00a0 Each of us has a personality that has grown and developed over the course of our lives, but temperament is something we are born with.\u00a0 It just goes to figure that it would have a pretty big influence on our lives.<\/p>\n
Which temperament are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are four temperaments, developed by the ancient Greeks, based on the elements of fire, earth, air and water.\u00a0 Choleric is associated with fire and people with this temperament are leaders, radiating confidence and power.\u00a0 The temperament associated with air is called Sanguine and characterizes an optismistic, joyful person.\u00a0 Phlegmatic is associated with water.\u00a0 These people usually lead a consistent, structured and predictable life.\u00a0 And the temperament associated with earth is Melancholic, characterizing a caring, compassionate, sensitive type.<\/p>\n We are all probably a little of a few, or maybe all, of these.\u00a0 But one particular type should stand out as predominant.\u00a0 When our lives are in balance we can enjoy the positive aspects of our temperament type.\u00a0 But when sick, run down or under stress our behavior may reflect the more extreme characteristics of our individual temperament.<\/p>\n For instance, a loving Melancholic has the tendency to become introverted and overly sensitive when not grounded.\u00a0 Choleric has a tendency toward anger when under stress.\u00a0 This shows up in our skin as well.\u00a0 Someone with a dominant Phlegmatic temperament may be prone to dull, dry skin.\u00a0 A Choleric\u2019s skin may become flushed or irritated.<\/p>\n How do you factor this into skin care?<\/strong><\/p>\n How to balance Choleric skin<\/a><\/p>\n How to balance Sanguine skin<\/a><\/p>\n How to balance Phlegmatic skin<\/a><\/p>\n How to balance Melancholic skin<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is a unique and fun way to look at our skin and ourselves.\u00a0 For more information on the subject, and other tips to restoring rhythm and beauty to your life, get ahold of a copy of Awakening Beauty the Dr. Hauschka Way<\/a> by Susan West Kurz.<\/p>\n Image:\u00a0 red twolips at Flickr.com, Creative Commons license.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We know that what we eat (or don\u2019t eat), whether or not we are getting an adequate amount of sleep, how much water we are drinking and stress all contribute to the health and good looks of our skin.\u00a0 But what about temperament?\u00a0 Each of us has a personality that has grown and developed over […] More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":3481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[11,12],"tags":[3017,9011,4835,4836],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/straightfacebyred_twolips.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3480"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
