10 Skin Care tips and tricks for any reason, season, or  lifetime

 “Be ageless, let your beauty be endless and your age – a  mystery.”

 The skin is the body’s largest organ which makes it critical to  maintain skin health and proper skin maintenance year round and especially while  traveling.  Each season brings  with it a unique challenge to maintaining healthy skin, BUT, there are some
practices that should be incorporated into your daily routine to maintain your  skin’s youthful appearance.


As we move into the winter season, there are two factors stacked  against our skin:  cold dry air and  warm dry air, both lacking the sufficient humidity required to maintain  appropriate hydration levels in our skin.

Traversing between the outdoors and indoors subjects our skin to  extremes in temperature which, when coupled with a parched atmosphere causes our  skin to become dehydrated.  With  excessive loss of water, our skin will begin to chap, peel or flake and we  certainly don’t want that.  
 

Here are a few tips and tricks to help maintain hydrated healthy  skin and so easy to keep up.  May  be a reminder for some or new to others, regardless, these tips will make a  natural difference in your skin’s  appearance.

1.   EXFOLIATION – Recommended throughout the  year to remove dead skin surface cells that dull the complexion and clog
pores.  Limit exfoliation to twice  weekly.  Over exfoliation can  damage living cells.  The key to  exfoliation:  Do gently and with
lots of love, your skin will appreciate  that.

2.  CONSISTENT   PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT – Even if you are traveling during the winter season, consistent skin care treatment ( by a professional) decreases the probability  of developing hyperpigmentation and aids in achieving a more hydrated and even  skin tone.
3.  SUNSCREEN  – Ok, here’s a big one.  Sunscreen  is required even in the winter months.  Cooler weather can be mis-leading so don’t neglect proper UV protection,  daily SPF 30.  Remember to apply  at least 30 minutes prior to exposure and reapply every two hours,  or after swimming or perspiring for optimal  protection.
4.  USE  OF CENTRAL HEAT – During your travels or at home, central heat may lead to  drier skin so the best way to combat that dry air is a humidifier to replace  air lost by artificial heating.
 5.  WATER  – Water – Water – Drink lots of water for internal hydration and natural  flushing of toxins out of your body. 
My recommendation is to drink ALKALINE WATER.  Our bodies tend to be more acidic which will allow disease or dis-orders
  to develop if we are out of balance.  Alkaline water neutralizes the acidity and balances out our ph  system.  This is awesome for
internal hydration but what about external hydration?  So glad you asked that question and here is the answer:  Use a hydrating mist to uplift, rehydrate and balance your skin  externally.  My recommendation is  the JOY MIST ( pictured below
). JOY MIST does smell divine, its formula is  scientifically based to trigger joy with endorphin inducing ingredients …. A  perfect and convenient mist that can be used even during the most chaotic  moments of your day.  Balance and  hydration are the key points to remember.  It’s travel size friendly, carry with you while traveling and especially  on the airplane to keep your skin hydrated (everyone will want some of the mist  so hide it in your purse.  (1 oz size of  Tecniche Joy Mist. Cost: $7.50.www.nurturingtouch.biz)  When you feel joy without stress, your skin tends to be at its optimum perfection so why not look good and feel  good.
6. DON’T  LICK YOUR LIPS – Dry chapped lips normally occur from outdoor exposure in cold  dry air or by sitting near the fireplace inside with warm dry air.  That’s when the licking begins and chapstick applications are repeated  over and over again to no avail because it evaporates immediately. Lips become  dehydrated and chapped.  Recommend  lip balms that also contain sunscreen.
7.  AVOID  OVER WASHING YOUR FACE – The cells in our bodies have regular conversations  through- out the day and become alarmed when protective oils are repeated  washed away. Over washing your skin will strip it of moisturizing properties
  and please no HOT water and avoid chlorine. Use lukewarm water to keep your skin  hydrated, do not rub your skin, pat it dry and apply products immediately  starting with your joy mist

8.   EFA’s  – Essential fatty acids (your omega-3) incorporate either through diet or  supplementation as they aid in repairing and moisturizing your  skin.
9.   EATING  FOR BEAUTY:  Here are a few  recommendations of foods that supply the appropriate nutrition and fun to  eat.
        a.   Selenium  is responsible for tissue elasticity – Found in brazil nuts, eggs, brown rice  and mushrooms.
      b. Silica  is a mineral that strengthens connective tissue and keeps the body flexible –  Found in green beans strawberries and
          cucumbers.
       c. Vitamin  C slows down pre-mature aging and supports the immune system – Found in red and  green peppers, kale and broccoli. 
     d. Vitamin  A is a wrinkle fighter – Found in liver, eggs and  fruits.
 10. 
 THREE SKIN TRICKS TO LIVE  BY:
 a.   Drink  veggie juice
 b.   6:00  a.m. hike makes you glow
 c.     Tecniche Restore Serum ($36.95 www.nurturingtouch.biz)  protects, restores and hydrates your skin especially in dry climates. 

Every skin deserves to be flawless.   Follow the tips above to repair or maintain your skin’s hydration levels,  be thankful and let the celebrations  begin.
