Skin care and make-up are two of my favorite
passions and I am constantly looking for ways to improve on both.
As I get compliments frequently on my skin, I
thought I would share some of My “beauty” secrets. I know everyone has their own beauty
regiment, I am sharing mine. And I am a firm believer that you can’t have great
make-up without a firm foundation for it to set upon.
So here are my basic steps to radiant skin:
1.Wash
your face daily. I know some people say once a day. For me, twice a day,
especially if you wear make-up every day. Once in the morning with a gentle cleanser,
such as Noxzema, this is what I use…or whatever your preference is. At night I use a gentle scrub cleanser to
help remove my make-up and give my skin a clean feeling.
2. Toner,
a good one, twice a day as well, once in the morning after shower and again at
end of the day after taking make-up off.
3. MOISTERIZE,
MOISTERIZE, MOISTERIZE. I cannot
emphasize this one enough. I don’t care
if you use the $7.00 bottle from your local drug store or the $110.0 bottle
from the fancy department store.
Whichever it is, use is daily, twice daily, at least.
4. Eat
well. Put good food into your body. Do not
eat crappy food. It WILL show up on your
face if you eat enough of it. Personally, I have been eating organic food since
August of 2012 and I have noticed a tremendous difference not only in the feel
of my skin (much smoother), it has also gotten tighter and firmer. And who doesn’t want tighter, firmer skin?
5. Drink
water. Let me repeat, drink LOTS of
water. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Drinking lots of water will absolutely have a
positive effect on your skin.
6.Exercise,
again, keeps your body in shape, relieves tension, releases all those good
endorphins into your system and makes you feel good.
7. Have
sex! Yes, having sex is wonderful for
your complexion. You have heard it
before. Enough said.
8. Reduce
stress. I would say this is the number
one thing to do in order to Have Radiant Skin…stress takes a terrible toll on
the body, including your face. It will add
years to your face and make you look years older. So do whatever works for you in order to
reduce the stress in your life. Take a
class, exercise, start saying no to things that no longer serve you, eliminate
the toxic people in your life.
Do
something positive for yourself. Make
more “you time”.
Use some or all of these tips and I guarantee you
will notice a difference in your skin, and more importantly in your
confidence. As one aspect of your body
changes, other subtle changes will also take place. And slowly, you will notice an overall
feeling of bliss and happiness. This
will just make you work even harder to achieve the look and feel of how you
ultimately want to feel.
Thanks & see you again next time…
