It’s so important to take care of our skin! It is our largest organ and reflects our inner health. Instead of seeing skin care as a chore, I choose to see it as a pleasurable experience. Your skin can look and feel great when you take good care of it. An investment of a few extra minutes each day will keep skin super healthy and happy. Feeling good about yourself creates confidence, smiles and a radiant glow from within. There are many product options, but I think that you need to use whatever products you love!
Here are some easy ways to experience a relaxing and nurturing skin care ritual in 4 easy steps:
Step 1: Cleanse. Morning and evening. Choose the cleanser best suited for your skin type. Use warm water and a circular motion, using upward strokes. In the morning, imagine the cleanser removing the sleepiness, and begin to feel ready to face the day with a fresh, new outlook. A quick facial massage can relax the muscles of your face and neck. In the evening, feel your stress loosen and get washed down the drain.
Step 2: Exfoliate. Every other day (or twice a week at least). Using a rotating skin brush, or a liquid exfoliant scrub. Help your skin slough off the old skin, and bring out the new. Imagine getting rid of old ideas that are no longer serving you, and prepare yourself for better things to come!
Step 3: Special needs (serums, masks, etc.): ask a trusted professional for advice. There are special treatments available for any possible skin challenge. There is hope! You can create the best feeling and looking skin possible. Imagine your skin healing and soaking in exactly the nutrients it needs to be a reflection of your radiant inner self.
Step 4: Moisturize. Morning and evening. For sure! If you do nothing else for your beautiful face, choose a wonderful moisturizer that smoothes, nourishes, protects and maintains your healthy glow. Feel your skin smile and sigh as it feels nurtured. Using upward motions, apply moisturizer with the intention of giving yourself what you need in order to be healthy and happy. It feels so good to take care of your skin. 🙂
