On the road to healthier skin.



"Your skin tells your life story"

TIPS FOR HEALTHY, GLOWING SKIN:

-All the beauty products in the world  cannot make your skin glow if you are: Stressed, eating junk food, sleep-deprived and sedentary. First of all. 

-Second of all,  hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Your body craves water, which removes toxins, hydrates your cells and gets rid of impurities.

-Third of all, start within ! Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. 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.

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

-Exercise to shed stress hormones and improve circulation.

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

- Make sure you're washing your pillowcase often, so you're not putting your face in the same oils every night.

-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.

-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!

-Find a facial cleanser that matches your skin type. 

-Exfoliate. Your face doesn't need anything harsh or to be exfoliated too often -- it just strips the skin of moisture and will leave you red and flaky.

**"Before you reach for the bounty of cleansers, moisturizers, and toners in your bathroom, add the following seven foods to your diet to clear the way for a beautiful complexion." - Sue Moores, RD, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. According to Moores, glowing skin starts at the supermarket.
