How can you keep your skin beautiful and fresh forever

You can keep your skin beautiful and fresh forever using the following skin care treatments.

Water

Water is the number one beauty treatment favored
by women of every age. You cannot create beauty
without beginning with a clean, clear palette.
Forget the very expensive imported waters. If you
don’t drink at least eight to ten glasses a day, you
are depriving yourself of the best beauty treatment
on earth.
Japanese women spend twice as much time and
money on their skin than any other women in the
world.


The Sun Is Your Skin’s Enemy


You should always make sun protection a priority.
Use a sunscreen formulated for your skin along with
your moisturizer. Much of the evidence of
aging rough skin, wrinkles, age spots, etc.
are really the result of too much sun. Always apply
lots of it not only to your face, but slather it on the
neck, hands, and hairline.

Stop Over Cleansing

The first rule of beautiful skin is to stop overcleansing
it. This is an unnecessary habit, especially true
of women in this country. Unless you’ve been up all
night digging ditches (you poor dear!), your face is
not dirty.Your morning routine should be nothing
more than reactivating last night’s moisturizer with
a splash of warm water or milk.Why milk? Milk is
a lactic acid and will allow your face to receive a
natural acid treatment.
Please be aware that many of the acids on the
market today are synthetic acids that have caused
problems with some women. There have been
reports of everything from sensitivity rashes to permanent
scarring. Be careful of the chemical acids
you use, and when you can, substitute nature’s acids
in your cleansing routine. In addition to milk, consider
these natural acids

1. Pineapple juice
2. Lemon juice
3.Tomatoes
4. Most citrus fruits

Toning An Important One

Toning is your second step, and an important one.
The purpose of using a toner is to remove residue
soap, moisturizer, and oil.You can spend a lot for a
toner (up to $20 and more at some cosmetic counters),
or you can do what many famous models do.
Carry around lemons.They are refreshing and more
effective than those silly toners that contain only a
little lemon but lots of chemicals.
Other inexpensive alternatives:
1. Rose water
2.Witch hazel
3. Hydrogen peroxide
4. Or try the following refreshing tea tonic: Mix 2
teaspoons of green or chamomile tea with 1/2 cup
water. Saturate a cotton ball, and apply all over the
face.Allow it to remain on the skin until it evaporates.

Moisturizing

you can happy to pass on one of the most important
ways to save money. It is not necessary to spend a lot
on a moisturizer. Good basic moisturizers can be
found in any drugstore. Just learn to read the labels,
and look for these low-cost ingredients.
Lipids
Listed as ceramides, cerebrosides, or sphingo lipids.
Essential fatty acids
Listed as sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, and primrose oil.
Sunscreen
Now available in many moisturizers as a step-saver
A Secret Tip:
Don’t buy a vitamin E, A, or C
enhanced moisturizer. Go to your
local pharmacy, and purchase these vitamins in
capsule form. Get as much potency as is available.
Prick open the capsule, and add it to your
moisturizer. You’ll get all the benefits of the
expensive cosmetic creams without the extra
chemicals or expense.

Add Water

You’ll find most moisturizers more effective when
applied to damp skin. It forms a thin film that will
trap moisture in the skin. Evening is the most
important time to take care of your skin.The sleeping
hours are when your face is away from makeup,
dirt, pollution, etc., and is free to rejuvenate.Your
evening regime is also effective and useful in destressing
your entire psyche to prepare you for the
best treatment of all: beauty sleep.
Just follow these steps:

1. Cleanse
Make it easy on yourself, your skin, and your
purse by using just one product to remove both
makeup and dirt. If your skin is dry, use a lotion or
cream-based product that leaves behind emollients
(it will feel like a light film on your face). If your
skin is “normal to oily,” use a gel cleanser or a very
mild facial soap. Even though your skin may be very
oily, be sure to use a gentle soap like Neutrogena or
Dove. Never use a deodorant soap on your face or
neck. If your skin is particularly sensitive, don’t even
use it on your body!
2. Exfoliate
I cannot overstate the need for this step.What is exfoliating?
It is very much like peeling an onion or removing
tiles off a roof. Exfoliating is necessary to get blood
flowing into the face, as well as to remove.
3. Masks
My favorite face mask is the result of my most memorable
investigative reporting story. I had been
informed that those very expensive spas that charge
hundreds of dollars for “herbal wraps” were using
mud. Now the inside “scoop” is that these “chichi”
places were not using some exotic mud from the
Dead Sea, but a formula created from kitty litter.
Okay, we’ve all heard of clay masks. Clay is perfect
for detoxifying the skin.What I discovered is that
these so-called “mud” or “clay” treatments used by
some salons is nothing more than kitty litter. The
catch is that the bag must be marked “100 Percent
Natural Clay.” It cannot contain any chemicals, additives,
or clumping materials. The good news is that
this type of kitty litter is generally the least expensive.

Here’s what to use?

Take a packet of sugar (raw sugar works the
best), add a couple of drops of olive oil to
make it easier to spread, and gently rub it into
the creases of your face.
Open a packet of instant oatmeal and mix it
with water to create a paste. Rub this mixture
into your face, and rinse off the residue. I
would suggest that you use instant oatmeal on
your face, and the traditional old-fashioned
oatmeal to exfoliate the entire body.
Rub sea salt (available in health food stores) all
over both your body and face. You’ll love its
invigorating effects.

How to use it?

Take about a tablespoon of the dried clay and reconstitute
it with a small amount of water. Mud is mud
is mud! I don’t care if it comes from the great Springs
of Italy (and if it does, you’ll spend about $60 a jar)
or from your local grocery store. At less than $2 a
bag, detoxify your entire body with it. I have worked
with the most fabulous celebrities who swear by my
kitty litter facial, including top makeup artists.
Although they love this facial, they know that their
clients may be a little reticent to try such an
unorthodox facial. So they pour the kitty litter into
an attractive container. You might want to do the
same at your house to avoid strange looks. Potpourri
jars make delightful hideouts for your new find.
I have demonstrated this several times on nationalTV
shows with people from the audience, and not one
person has ever told me that it felt anything but
absolutely refreshing. It actually possesses a kind of
pleasant, minty feel. Minerals in the mud also benefit
the skin.
Please don’t try to dig up the mud from your yard.
Real mud is dirty and contains organisms that harbor
diseases.
