Working tips for your face!

Are you confused about what you should do and what face care tips you should listen to? There are a lot of products out there claiming to be the best, but are they really good for your face?

What if I told you that you don’t really need to buy any of these products if you don’t want to? I am here to keep you on track. I know how difficult it can be to navigate through all those claims and promises.

That’s why I made this short list of completely natural face care tips that will make you look good, and save you tons of money!

#1 – Feed Your Skin

They say beauty comes from within, right? Well it’s true, if you eat a healthy, nutrient rich diet, you’re going to have radiant, and beautiful skin.

The antioxidants in healthy foods will help protect your skin from sun damage, keep it tight, and wrinkle free.

Eat These!

• Berries
• Fruits
• Greens
• Nuts
• Raw fats

Avoiding foods that make your skin break out helps a lot, this means avoiding sugar, and processed junk foods.

Throw these away!

• Alcohol
• Anything containing sugar
• Deep fried food
• Processed foods
• Smoking
• Wheat

#2 – Water

You probably hear this everywhere, and it’s true. Staying hydrated is important for your skin. This is easy if you eat a lot of nutritious foods, like raw fruits and vegetables, which are high in water. Otherwise, just keep drinking pure, filtered water. I drink 8-12 glasses a day and that feels like enough.

#3 – Relaxation

Stress is one of the worst things for your skin and face. Stressing and worrying makes you look older than you are. So take a few deep breaths whenever you start feeling stressed. You could even take up meditation or yoga, they help, trust me! Take some time to relax, it is as easy as lighting some candles and putting on a face mask!

#4 – Physical Exercise

Exercise keeps the blood flowing, it gives your face a vibrant color and keeps you young. Any exercise will do, as long as you get your heart pumping and your juices flowing. Daily walks are easy to implement and cost nothing!

#5 – Beauty Sleep

Getting enough sleep is crucial! During the night, your body regenerates. So if you want to keep looking good, get your eight hours of beauty sleep.

#6 – Natural Care

The chemicals in regular beauty and facial care products can irritate your skin, or make it more sensitive. You can avoid this by using natural products that do not contain harmful substances. There’s a great variety of natural organic face care products nowadays. You could even do as I and make your own products!

#7 – Facial Siesta

Let your face relax from time to time. That means no creams, no make up, no face mask, no soap, no face toner, no nothing! Just your skin and some fresh air, recovering and taking a break from everything.

If you cover these things, especially #1, you will be on your way to a more beautiful face, and who doesn’t want that? . Easier said than done, I know. But we can always aim to do our best and remember these important basic face care tips.

Take Care!

Your precious face!

Some of us are born with the best skin complexion and such flawless skin but most of us have to work at it. Bummer.

Skin Care - Cleansing

• DO wash your face twice a day to keep your skin clean and healthy - in the morning after you wake up and before you go to bed at night. Wash your face more often if you work up a sweat in P.E. or play a lot of sports throughout the day.
• DO
use the right cleanser for your skin type. Use an oil-free cleanser for oily skin, a soothing cleanser for dry skin, and an acne-fighting cleanser with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide for problem skin.
• DON'T go to sleep with make-up on, no matter how tired you are! It'll clog up your pores and cause zits.
• DON'T overdo it. Washing your face 10 times a day to get rid of the greasies will only dry out your face.

Skin Care - Exfoliating

• DO exfoliate once a week to remove the buildup of dead skin cells.
• DON'T overdo it. Exfoliating too often will only irritate your skin.

Skin Care - Moisturizing

• DO moisturize your face every day to keep your skin hydrated and well-balanced.
• DO use the right moisturizer for your skin type. Use a light one for oily or problem skin, and a more intense one for drier skin.
• DO wear sunscreen with an SPF of 15 (at least!) every day.
• DON'T overdo it. Slathering your face with half a bottle of moisturizer cuz your skin is on the dry side isn't going to do the trick.

Skin Care - Treatments

• DO drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
• DO get plenty of sleep.
• DON'T pop pimples! Picking your zits can cause scarring, so keep your fingers away from your face.

 Happy dayz keeps you smiling. Sad days keeps you crying. Through everything never forget about yourself and your health.

Hey Guys and Girls... I know it's been a long while since i blogged so i decided to do one on hair care. I love my hair and I don't want it to be dried out or damaged or anything. I take care of my hair. Later at the end i'm going to show you my hair care tips.

What I use for a hair mist and for skin care... Rosewater!!! I love rosewater due to its magical benefits:


Antioxidants - rosewater is full of vitamin A and C which aides in reviving tired skin by stimulating the cell regeneration process. The antioxidants in rosewater offer protection from free radicals and sun damage.

Restores pH balance - Rosewater is good for all skin types as it balances sebrum. Balancing sebrum is an important step in the reduction of pore size as it is the oil that clogs the pore thus streching out the pores.

Soothing and nourishing - a natural astringent with anti-inflammatory properties and hydrating properties. Rosewater has a calming effect on congested skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis or eczema.

Soothes insect bites and sunburn - a natural way to soothe and relieve insect bites and sunburn.
 Anyway this is how you can make it:

Basic rosewater recipe:
Place 2 cups firmly packed rose petals in saucepan
Add 2 1/4 cups water (distilled or filtered)
Simmer until water is reduced by half
Let cool and store in a dark sterilized bottle and refrigerate.

Alternately you can also use rose hips
1/2 cup dried rose hips
Filtered or distilled water
Place rose hips in a clean sterilized jar.
Cover rose hips with hot filtered or distilled water and let set 2 hours. Strain through cheesecloth into clean bottle and refrigerate.
Application- apply with cotton ball or pad or use as a spritzer.

Okay now my hair secrets... I use olive oil with vitamins for my hair. It adds extra protection for my hair. Next, I was my hair after every 1 or 2 days. Remember, if you don't start taking care of your hair today, you're going to regret it. Oh and i don't use sunsilk as there are many chemicals in them actually it nearly damaged my hair. To people who love their hair please don't torture it. Im recommending you guys to use a shampoo which contains: Goats milk/ Soy bean milk or extract from flowers that makes your hair not only healthy but fragrant.

Good Luck with your hair...
