There is something about the face that tells alot about someone. The expressions of love, anger; just life! So we need to take special care of this beautiful expression of life.
I love when women have a dewy, beautiful skin.
Don’t we all want that? There are a few things you can do, starting now, that will help your skin look and feel better in less than a week.
1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, Your skin needs water as much as your body. You need to replenish if your skin feels tight and dry. Drink at least 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water a day.
2. No smoking. Besides the fact that smoking is part of being stressed, and stress damages the skin, the smoke also causes damage.
3. Always wear SPF 15 at least, sunscreen more than 15 has not been proven to be any better or last longer. So always put sunscreen on before you put on your makeup. I use Roc .
4. Exercise. Any exercise is good, not only for the body and soul, but it will also increase the blood flow and you will look healthier.
5. Food has a lot to do with the skin. Just like you were taught, what you are is what you eat. The skin reflects our diet. Some vitamins you want to make sure you get daily are:
Vitamin C
Vitamin A
Good fats, Omega 3
Tomatoes, have an anti-oxidant that helps fight age.
Zinc
Iron
Fiber
So what is our regiment, besides the above?
1. Always cleanse your face, at least twice a day. Use a mild facial soap and warm water. recommended soap is Dove or Neutrogena.
2. Exfoliate at least in the morning before putting on makeup. I love the gloves that you put on that are for exfoliating. Be gentle, but this will remove all dead skin from the night before.
3. Moisturize. Wear cream before bed and before makeup. The skin can never have enough. My favorite is Roc, it works great.
4. If you have dark spots or aging spots, Murad Rapid Age Spot Lightener is great for this. It has Hydroquinone, the most you can buy over the counter.
