11 Tips: How to Get Beautiful Skin



All the beauty products out there ranging from natural (fruits and vegetables) to laboratory synthetics cannot make your skin glow if you are: Stressed, eating junk food, sleep-deprived and sedentary. Your skin tells your life story.

Skin care is inside out. It is crucial to reduce the inflammatory response. Simply put: Stress ages and depletes vitality. Instead of radiating happiness and positivism, you appear negative as you secrete toxins.

Know your skin type to maximize your self-care:

* Oily to normal – shiny skin especially on the forehead, nose and chin
* Oily – shiny all over most of the time
* Dry to normal – feels tight and gets dehydrated after a few hours
* Dry – especially around the cheek area and usually feels and looks dehydrated



* Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. The Mediterranean diet is great for skin. Salmon and foods rich in omega 3’s make a positive impact. When it concerns your skin, you are what you eat. Note: Sugar is inflammatory.

* Keep your skin clean and moisturize dry skin; dermatologists recommend moisturizing dry skin twice a day and overnight.

* For oily skin use toner or natural fruit acids.

* A little sun is healthy and mood-elevating. However, protect your face by wearing a sunscreen.

* Green tea is anti-inflammatory and in the lab has been shown to heal skin.

* Drink water to clean out toxins.

* Exercise to shed stress hormones and improve circulation.

* Get your beauty sleep; skin regenerates and hormones balance.

* Don’t smoke and stay away from second hand smoke and other obvious pollutants.

* Aim for good health. When you are healthy, you look more youthful and act that way. Illness weighs you down and saps your energy.

* Smile and you will look younger and prettier.

Don’t force your beauty. Enhance it. Avoid harsh chemicals and treatments. Avoid drastic changes and a lot of makeup. Simplify with a more natural approach. Express who you are not some artificial ideal. Don’t mask the real you. Living the truth of who you are is gorgeous!
