Beautiful Skin Regime


Skin is the body's mirror of our inner health and wellness, both physical and emotional. Skin plays a vital role in our life, how one looks and feels directly correlates to ones skin. Skin is the largest organ of the body and comprises of cells. Each cell has a life span of 120 days. Skin constantly sheds dead cells and new cells constantly replace them. Skin reflects your state of health, being soft and smooth when well cared for, or dry and flaky when taken for granted. Everyone wants beautiful skin. Some ideas and information to help you have radiant, healthy skin. Skin care is very important for women and men of all ages. Proper moisture levels in your skin (epidermis) help diminish signs of aging and distress from the outdoors. Make-up will help you to some extent but what is most important is natural beauty and a glowing skin. The major culprits that ruin and play havoc on our skin are ultraviolet rays, pollution and stress to some extent.

Men and women will see a marked improvement in their skin when following a skincare plan. Cleanse, tone and moisturise daily. Exfoliate and use a mask regularly. Cleansing removes the dust and stress from your face by cleaning the pores and circulating the blood supply. Use a gentle cleansing agent. Face washes are specially prepared to be effective at cleansing your skin gently and tenderly. Two litres of water daily will hydrate your skin from the inside. A good moisturizer will help prevent your skin's moisture from evaporating into the atmosphere. Use sunscreens during daytime to protect your skin form any kind of damage and premature wrinkles. Steaming helps release toxins and impurities that may be under the skins surface, blocking circulation. Fill a bowl of boiling water, then gently place your face about 4"-5" from the surface and hold for 2-3 minutes.
