The skins cell growth is dependent on vitamins, minerals, and hydration. Juicing makes it easiest to intake all these vitamins, and the minerals your skin needs on a daily basis. This lifestyle may be a little overwhelming, and may require you to buy a juicer. However, if you don’t want to buy a juicer Whole Foods has an amazing juice bar, and is able to package fresh made juice in convenient to go containers, making it easy for you to juice through out the week.

 

Fitness should also play a huge roll in your new skin care routine. Raising heart rates through exercise increasing blood flow, and bringing more oxygen to the skin, cleansing away impurities from the body through your own sweat. 20 to 30 minutes of exercise a is just enough to keep your bodies, and skin healthy. female-runner

 

 

Sufficient hydration is crucial in preventing dry and flaky skin, stay hydrated by eating foods high in water like fruits and vegetables. Drinking 8 glass of water a day will help your skin stay soft and youthful looking.

Fiji water is at the top of my bottled water choice. I feel it taste the best, and it’s also know to be rich in colloidal silica which is beneficial to your body and skin by improving it’s elasticity.

 Skin Care Products:

Choosing skin care products that work best for you can be a bit of a challenge. So many products on the market, labels, packing, and promises. Understanding your skin is the first step when deciding which products to go with. A skin analysis will put you on the right path in discovering which products will work best for you, along with trial and error till you find the ones that are perfect for you.

Skin care

 

 

 

 

Dermalogica, Mario Badescu, and Bobbi Brown are my top favorite skin care lines. They are all safe, high quality, scent free, and extremely effective.

 

 

I begin my daily skin care routine with precleanse to remove any makeup, oil, and anything else that should not be on my face. Applying a dime size to dry skin, rinsing away and following with an mild exfoliation. Daily Micro exfoliant is safe to use on a daily basis, and is also by dermalogica. As a makeup artist clear and bright skin are my priority, this will ensure even skin tones at all times, even when you are not wearing makeup. I take the extra step by washing my face for the third time with my favorite cleanser, Skin Resurfacing cleanser part of the anti-aging line dermalogica carries.

It’s a highly-active lactic acid cleanser which shouldn’t be used as often as I use it. My skin has adjusted perfectly to this cleanser as I use it twice a day. This is not recommended for everyone, and as I mentioned before trial and error is part of perfecting a skin care routine that works specifically for you, and your skin type.

To help soothe my skin once the cleanser is rinsed off, I apply a toner staying away from ones containing alcohol to prevent my skin from over drying. Proper hydration like the recommended 8glass of water a day will help your skin lock in all moisture necessary when training your skin to handle these spa like skincare routines, in the comfort of your own home.

Kiehl’s is also on my list of favorites, when it comes to skin care. I choose my products by effectiveness, and budget friendly pricing. There are amazing website like www.makeupalley.com that can help by showing reviews, prices, and ratings when you’re in the market for new cosmetics.

Toner works as your final cleanse, and a sponge to help absorb any mineral oils, and moisturizers you apply as you end your skin care routine. Because of the manual and chemical exfoliation my skin gets from the daily micro-exfoliant, and latic acid, this milky toner works as an excellent source to soothe my skin. It’s milky and hydrating.

The final part of my skin routine all depends on the time of day. If it’s day time I will apply a sunscreen or rich moisturizer. If it’s right before I’m going to bed, I will add a vitamin serum right before my moisturizer so that my skin gets extra vitamin benefits while I get my beauty sleep. (I need a lot of sleep).

Putting together your skin care collection should be consider an investment toward your skin’s health. Cosmetics can be a little pricey, which is I why I recommend a little research on your part to figure out which products will works best on you, and your skin type. All well worth it in the end, and will definitely add balance to most hectic lifestyles when 8hours of sleep isn’t realistic, or when you happen to have that one night that you fall asleep in your makeup, drink more than your probably should, or are unable to follow your healthy diet for a few days. The skin is forgiving when you create a skin care routine for it, such as this one.

Burnout stress - woman sleeping on computer

Sleep is a time when your body cells can regenerate, and repair aiding in stopping any premature aging. Truth is we live in the 20th century and most women are working late and long hours. Most of us don’t have the luxury to sleep 8hours on a daily/night basis. We have to pick and choose our battles sometimes when it’s our weekends off. A weekend resting your body, and getting those 8hours of sleep will come with rewards such as beautiful skin. Is probably a better choice than a night out, “socially drinking”.

Naps are skin friendly, and my personal favorite.

Free your brushes from any growing bacteria that may end up on your face. Clean brushes are so important, and most women don’t realize how much bacteria is multiplying when brushes are neglected, and not stored properly. Makeup Books recommend you to clean your brushes twice a month, and even then that’s too long in between if you are using your makeup brushes on a daily basis. Twice a week is more settling, and easy to do with Cinema Secrets professional brush cleaner. This has been the cleaning solution of choice for many years by some of the best makeup artist out there today.

I am aware that all this information can be a little overwhelming, and maybe a little intimidating. It’s taken me 3years and 6 months of studying skin at one of the best schools Paul Mitchell to perfect my own skin care routine. I have written out what I learned in 3years, and risked through trial and error in this short blog in hopes of helping others understand the importance of skin care.

This was extremely brief with hopes of it being easiest to understand.

I would love to answer any questions regarding skin care, or any skin products your are interested in learning more about.
