Most of us have been washing our faces, for either a short or long time, and most of us think we have it all figured out. But I bet you are making at least one of the most common mistakes listed below.
Toxic Ingredients:
There are a lot of ingredients in beauty products, that are not regulated, and we are finally learning just how detrimental they are to our health. Do you read the labels on any of your products? Do they contain ingredients like parabens, or silicones? What about fillers? You know that old saying, "you get what you pay for"? Well when talking about beauty products that saying has never been more true! A great resource for rating the ingredients in your beauty products is EWG.org. This website allows you to research the ingredients and get a rating on how toxic they are, and it also educates you on what all those complicated words are in your products.
Dirty Makeup Brushes:
Your makeup brushes should be washed weekly with a mild sulfate-free cleaner. Your face will love you, and clean brushes will reduce breakouts due to bacteria, dirt, and other contaminates. NOTE: wet brushes should be laid flat to dry, which will prolong the life of your makeup brushes.
What is your true skin type?
Make sure you are using products for your true skin type. Is you skin oily, dry, combination? What about acne prone, sensitive or dehydrated? Know your skin...so you can use the correct products.
Daily Routine:
Are you trying new products from a new product line? I am a true believer that you should use products from the same line, as they were created to work together. When using new products, allow a month of use to begin to notice changes. Remember you didn't develop those wrinkles in a month, sometimes it takes a bit of time to see the benefits. If there are products in the set that don't work for you, stop using them for a bit and try them again after a week to see if your skin reacts differently.
Think Warm Water:
Most people think hot water is the best temperature to wash your face. Hot water is very drying to the skin. Take a break from washing your face in the hot shower, and use warm/cool water and see if your skin doesn't look and feel better.
Diet and Exercise:
Last, but not least for beautiful healthy skin is diet and exercise. Getting a good sweat on, eating healthy whole foods, and drinking a gallon of water a day will make good skin look incredible. Also don't forget about getting a good night's sleep will also help you look, and feel your best!
My favorite line of products is called Rejuvity. The line of products contains a purifying cleanser, hydrating toner, ageless renewal serum, essential youth serum, moisturizing day cream, renewing night cream, bamboo exfoliating polish, and age-defying eye cream.
There are a lot of aspects to great skin. Start today implementing a couple of the healthy tips above, and add one every 30 days. It only takes 30 days to make a new habit, and these habits will help you look and feel your best! Put your best face forward, which will help you feel more confident in yourself! Go get'em girl!
