7 Steps To Super Skin!

People often compliment me on my skin, so I thought I'd share my silly skin secrets. In the past, I used Proactiv cleanser & astringent. I do not recommend Proactiv (or anything that isn't all natural), despite the $millions$ companies like this one spend on advertising in an effort to make you think it's the best stuff out there. NOW my skin looks better than it ever has & I can tell you how I did it!

Steps to healthy, gorgeous skin:
1. Make a habit of drinking a lot of water, daily! This flushes the toxins out of your body. Add some lemon juice from an organic lemon, even better!

2.Try using a more natural cleanser. I use Alba Pineapple Enzyme Facial Cleanser with Aloe, Jojoba and fruit enzymes. I use this to wash my face only once a day, sometimes every other day. You don't want to be washing your face too much!

3. Switch your astringent to Witch Hazel by T.N. Dickinson's. It's all natural and leaves my skin feeling moisturized! (Proactiv astringent left my skin dry!) I use this twice a day to clean my skin. I always make sure to apply this all over my face before bed to remove the dirt & oil buildup from the day. That's important!

4. Start eating more organic foods and more fruits & veggies. I cut WAY back on junky, processed foods (which is practically everything in the grocery store). I stopped drinking pop/fast food and haven't looked back since. Also, cutting out DAIRY has helped many people. "You are what you eat" - Yup, it's true!

5. Fish Oil Supplements. I take 2 Tuna Omega-3 Fish oils (by Standard Process) with breakfast, and 2 with dinner. They are great for your skin and hair. (When buying any kind of supplement, make sure you are getting them from a place like Whole Foods, Better Health, or your Chiropractor. You can buy cheap supplements @ CVS, Walgreens, etc, but remember that quality counts. You want the high quality supplements made from whole foods!)

6. Stop touching your face! This took awhile to break the habit, but resisting the urge to rest my hand on my cheek or touch my face in any way, has really helped to get sexy skin!

7. No more makeup. As my skin started to clear up, I stopped putting foundation on my face. There's a few reasons why this helps your skin. #1, bacteria can build up on the brushes/sponges if they aren't replaced often. So when you apply a powder foundation (which I did) those old brushes get the gross bacteria on your face. Or if you apply foundation with your fingers... well you know, that's touching your face! No good! #2, makeup clogs your pores. Any day that you can get away without wearing coverup, SKIP the makeup!


So there you go! 7 steps to super, glowing skin!
