Beauty is
skin deep
Make-up removal
Irrespective of how pimple-free
your skin is, make-up removal is
important. If you have made the
mistake and have not seen the effects,
you should not make it a practice.
Leaving the make-up on will clog
your pores eventually resulting in
anything from pimples to wrinkles.
Diet
Never take for granted the
benefits of a healthy meal. Whether
you have acne or eczema that has
specific food triggers, the food you
eat does affect the way your skin
looks. An occasional guilty pleasure
will not hurt but be sure to drink at
least eight glasses of water a day to
assist with the glow.
Know your skin type
Some individuals try make-up
and blame brands for breakouts
when we really just have not paid
attention or taken note of our skin
type. Acne-prone skin will breakout
with oil-based heavy make-up.
While dry skin users might need the
extra oils to keep skin hydrated.
Scalp
When it comes to facial care you
have to also consider your scalp
issues or complaints. Now if you
have scalp eczema or dandruff that
isn’t treated, it can easily move down
to your forehead and other areas of
your face. So your facial care is
determined by your entire head care.
Make-up break
There is nothing wrong with a bit
of foundation here and there. We
all want to change it up a bit but it
is important to give your face time
to breathe. Make-up was not
designed for us to live in. Be
comfortable in your own skin and
go make-up free. Give your face a
chance to breathe and heal, to
enjoy the sun as it was designed to.
