Just place your desired ingredients in a blender and gently
blend to a smooth consistency.
4.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize. Always make use of a good
moisturizing product daily. Always wash your face prior to
applying your moisturizer. Tip - You can gently apply a thin
layer of vitamin A or C on your face prior to applying your
moisturizer to promote a soft and healthy looking tone.
5.
Avoid cheap cosmetics. The pure simple fact of the matter
is that often times; inexpensive products are poorly made
and poorly tested if at all. This does not mean that you must
go out and buy the most expensive products that you can find.
Start with moderately priced cosmetics and sample several
brands until you find one that works well for you.
6.
Be Gentle! Never push, pull, stretch, or harshly scrub your
face. Do not pick at existing acne, scars, or blemishes, EVER!
Doing so can damage the skin and increase the chances of developing
wrinkles and other unsightly blemishes. Treat yourself as
if you were an infant. We all know how soft their skin is!
7.
Protect yourself from the sun. This one seems obvious and
yet I can't think of one person that I know that regularly
makes use of sunscreen on a daily basis. Use protective sunglasses,
hats, or visors for quick trips out and be sure to re-apply
sunscreen after swimming or physical exertion.
8.
Keep hydrated. This is one of the most important and often
overlooked aspects of skin care. Water not only makes up the
largest percentage of our body mass but also acts as the river
that carries away toxins and waste and keeps our system running
at optimal health. But drinking water will make me look bloated.
WRONG! This is a myth. Your body will naturally regulate the
amount of water it retains in order to operate efficiently.
Water retention is often a symptom of some other condition.
Drinking water alone and keeping properly hydrated does not
cause bloating and could very well be the missing ingredient
in your skin care regiment.
9.
Release stress - Stress can be one of the most detrimental
factors to achieving healthy skin. Stress causes the body
to release chemicals that can have a negative impact on your
skin. Simple remedies such as exercise, relaxation, and simply
some alone time can often do the trick. A quick trip to the
spa once in a while doesn't hurt either.
10.
Get more sleep. Long term sleep depravation can cause droopy
skin around the eyes and in the forehead area. Ideally, you
should strive for a minimum of 8 hours of quality sleep each
night to look and feel your best.
11.
Use a good toner. As skin ages, it begins to loose its elasticity.
Toning can help keep the skin clear and firm. Look for a toner
than contains alpha hydroxy acids. These help to reduce pore
size and can also be beneficial to preventing ingrown hairs.
12.
Winter Skin Care - Winter skin problems such as dryness, itching,
and cracking are commonly associated with the cold, dreary
days of winter. Often times, this results more from loss of
moisture resulting from spending the majority of our time
indoors in low humidity environments than it does from the
actual cold. Invest in and use a humidifier. Keeping the relative
humidity in your house at or above 60% will allow your skin
to replenish itself by absorbing moisture from the air. A
nice way to illustrate this is to use the example of a desert
and a rainforest. Think about your last trip to the desert
for a moment. What do the plants have in common? They are
all rough, spiny, and hard. Now think about a trip to a more
humid climate. What are the characteristics of the plants?
Think big, bright, soft, and colorful leaves. The difference
- The amount of moisture in the air. You can choose whether
your house will be a desert or a rainforest and your skin
will respond appropriately. Also refrain from taking long
hot showers. Hot water removes natural oils from the skin
and essentially peels back your natural layer of protection.
This can open you up to dryness and cracking.
