The Key to Beautiful Skin

An anti-aging skincare routine doesn't have to be super expensive or complicated.  The first and most important thing you can do is drink lots of water.  I know you hear this all the time, but it is so true!  Your body is an organ – the largest organ – and it is made up of 70 percent water.  Flaky, scaly skin an dry skin patches are unattractive, can hurt and irritate, and leave your skin prone to infection.  There are many skin problems that originate with dry skin so it is very important (1) to hydrate and (2) moisturize without suffocating your skin. 

The last point is very important because many moisturizing lotions actually clog pores and keep the skin from breathing. Your skin is a dynamic organ with anywhere between 2-4 million sweat glands. In an area the size of a quarter, you have around 600 pores. That puts the number of pores on your face alone in the 30,000 to 50,000 range. If you consider the impact of thick moisturizers, foundation, and other make-up, then it is easy to see why we have skin issues, and why they get more pronounced over time.

To give your skin the breathing room it needs, wash your face twice a day, keep the make up to a minimum if possible, and use a light moisturizer. Look for a moisturizer where the main ingredient is a natural oil or extract like sunflower seed or macadamia oils. Natural oils and extracts will lubricate your skin without clogging pores and it could make all the difference in the look, feel and health of your skin.
