  1. I have healthy skin. So if you want to have healthier skin, here's what you should do:

    1) Wash your hands properly, if you don't bacteria and oil from your fingers can get into your pores and create infection and breakouts.

    2) Cleanse your skin with an appropriate cleanser. Do not use soap ever. Soap has an alkaline pH and will strip your skin of it's natural acidity leaving your skin vulnerable to bacteria and dehydrated. Most foaming cleansers will do this, especially Cetaphil because of its sodium lauryl sulfate content. Don't use anything that makes your skin feel tight after rinsing. Use warm water that is not too hot. Sudden temperature changes in the skin can permanently dialate capillaries. With your fingertips, rub cleanser on your skin in an upward circular motion. Rinse the cleanser with warm water and/or facial sponges.

    3) Always use a toner after cleansing. Use an alcohol free, hydrating toner. Toner's purpose is not to 'clear blackheads' ro do anything but hydrate the skin. You can either spray or wipe a toner. After cleansing, use a cotton pad to wip toner over your skin to  remove any makeup or cleanser residue. If you do not wear make up or 'have no time for toner' use a spray toner or put toner in a spray bottle and mist your skin. DO NOT LET TONER DRY. Leave your skin damp from the toner as it will act like a magnet to bring water to the surgace and bring ingredients from your moisturizer deeper into your skin.

    4) Always use an appropriate moisturizer for your skin. Only if you ar every oily or acne-prone is it necessary for you to use oil free moisturizers. Do not be afraid of oil! It is lubrication for your skin and protection against wrinkles. Use an spf or at least 15 or 30 in your daytme moisturizer. Do not use an spf at night. Night moisturizers are a good time to use something very nourishing or targeted to a specific issue.

    5) Exfoliate your skin 1 to 3 times a week. You can do this in several ways, but the most common is to use a scrub. Again, choose a gentle scrub (often creamy with rounded sloughing beads instead of jagged particles like nut shells etc) that does ogten leave your face feeling tight. On days when you exfoliate, you should do this after cleansing and follow with toning and moisturizing.

    6) If your skin is still very dry, look into using a serum after toner and before moisturizer and consult an esthetician or dermatologist for advice.

    7) If your skin is very oly and breaking out, you may need to have further tests done, so consult a dermatologist or esthetician for advice.

    8) Finally, everyone can use eye cream at any age. Most eye creams make great lip balms as well. Keep it beside your bed so you don't forget to use it.

    Here are some tips:

    - drink at least 64 oz of water each day to maintain hydration in the body and purge toxins regurlary.

    - do not smoke

    - don't forget to moisturize

    - blend your makeup to make it more natural

    - wear brightly colored clothing to distract from nasty pimples

    - eat dark greed vegetables

    - excercise regularly

    - cut out or cut down on caffeine as it is diuretic and can dehydrate you

    - for an extra facial hygiene step, use a good quality, facial masque. When using after you wash your face thoroughly, this works like an exfoliator to open your pores and remove of dead skin. The masquees with exfoliating beads are the best.

    Warnings:

    - if you have severe acne, see a dermatologist or esthetician

    - exfoliating is gread to open pores and cleanse your body of dead skin, however, NEVER exfoliate too much. You may cause your skin to become raw, or otherwise very painful

    Hope this helps!!


  2. Keep away from processed  , cooked meals till three months. Take partially cooked vegetables or (fish/chicken once in a week)  should be cooked with Olive oil / Lime / Garlic and ginger etc. the meals color should be green or approx white , not red or brown. Your skin will be like Babies skin.

    Enjoy .... There are scientific proofs for above recipes . sorry i haven't time to tell you more.

  3. Hello !eat lots of green veg!drink honey mixed in hot water with few drops of lime juice in an empty stmach in d monin!drink orange,carrot,apple,juice!dont take too much of fat containg food as wel as less fat !

  4. Take Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin E supplements each day. These vitamins are very good for the skin.

    Drink at least 2 litres of water a day. This is the best thing you can do. You will notice the difference in half-an-hour.

    You need to cleanse your face EVERY SINGLE MORNING AND NIGHT. A good wash is essential in the morning because you then start with a clean slate. Then you must use toner and moisturiser. If your skin is greasy use an oil-free moisturiser.

    You should repeat these steps before bed. NEVER go to sleep with any make-up on. I exfoliate using St Ives every 2 days. It depends on the person, this may be too harsh. You need to experiment and see what works best.

    Anytime that you leave the house you must use Sun Protection Factor. I would use at least 30, but it's up to you. Even if it's raining, still use it. Just because you can't see the sun does not mean that it's harmful rays are still not causing damage.

    This is what you have to do in order to maintain healthy skin. What is important is that you must get into a routine. Don't think that because you don't notice immediate results that it isn't working. You have to keep in your routine, of drinking water and cleansing your face morning and night and take supplements otherwise it won't work. You will notice the difference in time.

    If you want a quick fix for your pimples, I suggest going to the doctor and seeing if he will give you some anti-biotics. Having said this, it will take a month for them to work. Otherwise just go and buy some witch hazel over a chemist counter. This will only get rid of the pimples, but unless you carry on with a routine they will just come back. Prevention is better than cure.

    Hope this helped=) Oh, and use a scent-free anti-bacterial soap on your face with warm water everyday.

    Good luck!
