Tips for "Glowing" Skin


The number one thing NOT TO DO: DO NOT PICK AT YOUR FACE. NEVER, EVER, NEVER.
First, make sure that you are using products that are specifically formulated for your skin type/need. I know people don't "buy" into this, but there really is a difference, in both the formulation and results.
Second, don't be "sucked in" to purchasing a "set" of products. I, personally, use different products, from the same company, based on my menstrual cycle, and season. Hormonal changes and time of year really do have an effect on your skin.
Third, drinking plenty of fluids to help keep the skin moisturized from the inside out.
Fourth, make sure to get enough sleep. The first place a lack of sleep can be seen , is on your face. It can darken circles under the eye and also make you appear pale.
Fifth, try to limit stress. I know that this is easier said than done, but stress also plays a HUGE role in the condition of your skin, so meditate, take yoga, lift weights, etc. to help ease your stress.
Sixth, buy cosmetics that are formulated to be beneficial to skin; ie, moisturize, protect from the sun, contain anti oxidants, won't clog pores, etc.
Last but not least, a good daily supplement will not only improve your skin, but your entire body and sense of wellness.
