So here it is part B of Look Good, Feel Great! It's really easy to loose track of the little things about ourselves when we are running around trying to handle everything life throws at us. So its always a good idea to stop worrying about everyone else, take a breath and give yourself some TLC.
So our skin is put through the ringer everyday with oil, UV rays, pollution, make up, ect. It's a good idea to show it some love. A daily face wash is a must, not one of those highly acidic scrub ones, no no. You do not need to torture you face that much more. Go for a gentle deep clean, no matter how dry or oily your skin is. Also get a good scrub for use every couple of days. Also a good oil free moisturizer should be applied every single night after you wash your face. Have one with SPF for mornings so you can shield those UVs. Now sometimes you need a little more than that, so maybe once or every other week its a good idea for a full fledged face mask. A good cucumber peel is necessary but s nice homemade face mask is a good idea. Something soothing like cucumber and honey and cinnamon. It can calm redness and inflammation. Avocado oil is full of vitamins A, D and E, these are essential to skin health. So mash up some avocado and let it sit all over your face for about 10-15 minutes. This can revive your tired skin.
Not just your face gets beaten up. So a good sugar scrub is just what it needs a couple days a week. My favorite is brown sugar, sea salt, olive oil, a bit of honey, and vanilla extract. Another great one is sea salt, white sugar, olive oil, and lavender and eucalyptus essential oils. But you can google DIY scrubs and find a ton.
Eggs. Crazy right? I'm serious. Whisk some warm eggs and a tad of olive oil together and slather your hair in it and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then wash your hair and let your conditioner sit for a couple of minutes and rinse. It sounds crazy but really revives dry hair.
A good mani and pedi, professional or done by your or your friend is a must as well. Who doesn't love the look of fresh nails?
So I have given you the steps to the superficial side of being positive in a negative world but lets be honest thats about 30% if even of the equation. Next up? The mental side. You can change a books cover a thousand times but there will always be the same words. So, it's time to rewrite the story.
Stay beautiful!
Love,
