Girls, if you haven’t made the decision to be the best you yet, the time is now. We love the idea of glowing skin.
Sure we play in makeup every now and again to hide blemishes and enhance our look. But as we get older we want to take extra special care of our skin, creating that natural glow, highlighting gives us, and eliminating the dark spots we try to cover up.
The skin is the largest organ on our body and it it the most exposed to elements so it does need extra special. With that said here is our guide to your best skin ever!
1. Drink water
When we say drink water we mean…drink a lot of water. Even better if you can drink alkaline water. The reason we sometimes notice that our skin is dull or that we have dark circles is because we are not hydrated enough. The doctor will tell you thirst is a sign of dehydration so if you are thirsty you have not been drinking enough.
Water also gives you that glow your skin should have naturally. To know how much you should drink simply divide your body weight in half and that is how many ounces you should be drinking per day.
2. Exfoliate your neck face and chest
Cleanse your face with an all natural cleanser, like black soap or any of your favorite natural bars. You can make your own scrub to use daily or purchase one. We love the St. Ives brand, it has been around for years and it is very effective.
Exfoliate your face, neck, and chest to get rid of dead skin cells revealing radiant beautiful skin. We love the visage facial brush, just one of my favorite beauty discoveries last year that was gentle on my skin and wallet.

3. Use products with Vitamin C
Vitamin C is known for its anti aging properties, protecting your skin from sun damage, fading dark spots and building collagen.
Your skin care products must have Vitamin C listed on the bottle, they mostly come in the form of serums. If you want to make your own, try this recipe:
- 1/4 tsp – Vitamin C aka ascorbic acid (white powder)
- A few drops of Aloe Vera juice
Mix it in the palm of your hands and rub your hands together until you feel the the crystals of the powder dissolve. Apply it to your face neck and chest after you have cleansed your face and before you moisturize.
4. Try a face peel
Masks are always awesome because they remove toxins and give you an immediate glow. Use fruit to make your masks, they are gentle and full of vitamins in comparison to the chemical peels that have ..well chemicals! If you are thinking of trying a chemical peel, read this first a few things consider before doing a TCA Chemical Peel for Clearer Skin.
Great tip – Juice your strawberries, papaya or pineapple and freeze the fruit juice in ice cube trays. In the morning, grab a cube and rube it all over your face, neck and chest. Allow the liquid to sit for 10-15 minutes then rinse with warm water. (freezing green tea works too)
