Tips To Great Looking Skin

Posted by on Jul 20, 2009 | 0 comments




One of the things I feel lucky about is having clear, blemish free skin. There are several reasons for this I think. One is genetics. Both my parents have good skin, my mother in particular hasolive skin that I was fortunate enough to inherit :D . The other reason is that I was taught early on how to take care of my skin.

I don’t abuse it by using and exposing it to too much chemicals. I only wear minimal makeup and only if I need it. I’ve also developed the habit of always cleaning up my face no matter how tired I am. I also follow the routine cleanse-tone-moisturise. I stick to products that are hypo-allergenic and those that I have proven to be effective for me. I don’t like trying and switchingbeauty products every so often.

I did got my share of break outs during my teenage years, but instead of panicking and be constantly worried about how I look and where I could get zit and acne treatment, my mom had me conviced it waall part of growing up and it’ll all clear up in time with less fuss. And she was right! After a year otwo, it all disappeared.

A beauty product I cannot do without? Citrus fruits. All natural fruits like lemon, orange and my favorite, calamansi. They all have firming, anti-pimple, skin-clearing properties that has workedwonders for me. I simply apply it all over my face daily and it works like a natural astringent.Don’t try it though if you have breakouts or open wounds on your face. At first, it felt a little tingly and tight but I got used to it. This is truly effective, even shampoo, soap and cosmetics manufacturers are adding this to their products. For cooling and relaxing skin, of course,avocado and cucumber are my faves.

A good diet is really essential to maintaining good skin. I drink lots of water, even more than the required 8 glasses a day. Plus eating fruits and vegetable is also a must. And lastly, to have that glowing look, the best secret is to be happy, think happy thoughts, and embrace life to the fullest..
