10 Steps To Beautiful Skin

10 Steps To Beautiful Skin

by Gloria Gibson

• Get a professional facial at least once a month, and do a facial scrub at home at least twice weekly – A mud scrub is the best scrub for your skin.  Washing your face alone will not get out the impurities in your skin.  You must exfoliate the skin regularly to prevent clogging of the pores.
• Learn how to massage your face gently with exfoliates.
• Use an astringent daily to finalize the cleansing of your face.  It picks up dirt the residue that your face cloth doesn’t get.
• Use a Turkish towel for all facial cleansing.  Give your face a treat and throw away all those face cloths that are not thick and cushy.
• Apply pure cocoa butter daily directly on the skin for any discolorations, and give it at least six weeks to work.
• Once a week, use a body scrub on your body to get rid of the dead skin.  Emphasis with this scrub should be made on knees and elbows.
• Bathe in the tub more, and shower less.  Use water softener in your bath, and it will keep your skin soft.
• Buy a good moisturizer for your skin.  If your skin feels dry two hours after you’ve put on a moisturizer, you have applied the wrong kind.  Your moisturizer should last all day and your skin should feel moist.  Lotion your entire body at least twice a week.  Be sure to wash your face at bedtime.  Never take a dirty face to bed and never sleep in makeup.
• Splash or spray a fragrant body oil on wet skin before toweling off.  Your skin will feel like silk.  Use all over your body daily.
• Be sure to use a rose water spray to set your makeup once applied.  Spray at least 7 inches from your face.  It gives your face a glowing look, and your spirit a lift, before you go out to meet the world.
