How to take care of my skin by justjessie34

"Building up my confidence while taking care of what I have."

How I did it: I started with the basics. I searched for good products, and read up in some more skin care books.
I drank lots of water and became more aware of food that makes my skin change. I treated it to some good treatments and healthy habits.

Lessons & tips: Drink water, lots flush it all out. To every cup of coffee, or alcohol drink equal water. What you eat makes up in your skin, so eat fruits, beans, and egg and salmon and whole grain breads. Nuts for oil.
Moisturize and use a SPF greater than 15.
For winter use a humidifier at night, and use moisturizer when you first get out of the shower.
Exfoliation is a wonderful way to get a nice glow.
Steaming the face, and using a mask once a week helps a lot. Find out what you skin type is first and then find the right product to suit your needs.

Resources: I read up on skin care. Make-up is very important too, if you use it you need a good kind that works with you type of skin. Bobbi Brown's Make manual is a good read.

How I did it: I've been putting on sunscreen everyday (spf 50) on my face and wearing a hat whenever I'm out in the sun.  I also put suncreen on my neck and hands to prevent them from looking wrinkly and spotty. Read how I did it…

    Take Better Care of My Skin 3 months ago

    I just turned 28 and my skin isn’t the greatest, although people say I look younger than I am. I really need to create a skin care regimen and really stick to it. I also need to drink lots and lots of water.

    my mini-goals to get great skin:

    From the inside out:
    -Drinking water, alot
    -Balanced diet
    -Exercise

    From the outside:
    -Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize
    -Start using a sunscreen
    -Start using an exfoliater, toner, and lotion
    -I don’t currently wear a lot of makeup, but when I do I’ll be making sure to completely remove it at night

    Blotchy ski, age spots 10 months ago

    When I turned 30 years old I started getting brown spots on my cheeks. I have tried several things to remove them. I bought a day and a night cream at the pharmacy which contained 2% hyrdroquinone. They were inexpensive and quite effective. I also bought an expensive Clarins tube to put on the spots. It does next to nothing. Perservance and patience are the keys to deal with this problem; also accepting that it might not go away completely… you can only reduce the spots.

    Your skin says a lot about you…... I am almost 30 and people seem to guess me a lot younger and I think it has a lot do to with my skin. I have been using anti aging products since I was 21, but I want t drink more water, use sunscreen during the day, and something to revitalize at night while giving myself home facial once a week or so…...
