Let me tell you a fact about my skin care routine that you may not believe. I haven’t got facial done in the last 10 years . Surprised?
A flawless look starts with a clear healthy skin. I believe in minimalist handling, reduce the constant tug of war with the skin. Keep it clean, let it breathe and feed yourself a nutritious diet. That’s the key to having a good skin.
I have not had a good skin for a long time. Hormonal imbalances, iron deficiencies and stress all showed on my skin. I have a dry sensitive skin and I tan very easily. Staying home during lock-down, I really started making skincare a priority. Here are the first 5 tips on what I do everyday to get a clear skin from within. Remember, fix the inside, your outside will automatically blossom.
- Get fit. I lost 14 kilos since Christmas 2019. I lost that weight in 4 months using a well-balanced diet program called the Cambridge Weight Plan.
- I walked 30 minutes everyday. Thanks to my fur baby, Cooper.
- I included lean protein and salads in my diet. I avoided carbs to ignite ketosis.
- I drank 2.5 litres of water every day with 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar and Himalayan pink salt. This helped with my bowel movements which in turn kept my skin free of toxins.
- I exercised 20 mins everyday. Not much, just light cardio like abs, yoga and stretching.
Remember balance is everything. When you adopt new habits, think if you can sustain it for life. Moving on to the exterior, you need to look after the surface of the skin too. I don’t like changing my brands once they have suited my skin type. Here are the next 5 tips on the things I do regularly to keep my skin looking fresh.
- I scrub my face once a week.
- I use Morning Fresh cleanser every morning.
- I moisturize my face and neck with a Vitamin E enriched moisturizer and a skin oil before applying any make up. Remember, I have a very dry skin so mixing the oil with the foundation gives it a very dewy glossy finish.
- I keep my make up routine very basic and simple.
- I mostly use good quality and trustworthy brands from the drugstore, except my foundation.
The Foundation I Trust!
Ferali Flawless Adjustable Finish Foundation
Considering I have a dry & sensitive skin, I need to use a water based foundation which is free of harsh chemicals. I have been looking for vegan makeup. Cannot tolerate products being tested on animals. How happy I was when I found not only the perfect match and blend but perfectly priced all natural vegan foundation that was not costing me an arm and a leg.
More on this amazing product I have fallen in love with in my next blog. I am sure you will too.
Love,
