3 Steps to create fabulous skin

3/22/2017

 
Skin.  Skin shows our age.  Skin is the barrier between us and the environment.  Skin is exposed to heat, cold, dryness, humidity, sun, toxins, pollutants, and irritants constantly.

A fit body and an aged face reads as old, whereas a young face and not so fit body still reads as young. A very inshape friend of mine was horrified to learn this despite efforts to eat well and workout.  On the way back from a playdate with other moms of a similar age, her toddler asked her why she was older than the other moms. She asked her daughter jokingly why she thought that.  Answer: because her face was older.

Secret to beautiful skin: CARE.  The skin on our faces needs more care than our teeth do.  No one would skip brushing.

Knowing I am super serious about skin care my friend asked me for suggestions to restore radiance and elasticity.  I asked my friend how she cares for her skin.  She washes it in the morning and most of the time at night and applies moisturizer.  If she's particularly tired and not wearing makeup, she'll skip the night washing.  

Here is the problem.  The skin on our bodies that is exposed most of the time needs more care than our teeth do.  No one would skip brushing.  

Routine is the key.  ALWAYS - no exceptions - take care of your face morning AND night.

My "I'm really tired or rushed" routine has only three steps, but I never, never, ever skip them.  

Morning:
1. Wash
2. Moisturize
3. Sunscreen

Night - after makeup is removed:
1. Exfoliate first
2. Wash
3. Moisturize

That there is the absolute most basic skin care routine that will keep you looking fabulous.

A few pointers,
1. Choose a cleanser that doesn't over dry your skin
2. Exfoliate with a fine exfoliant designed for the face.  It can be a chemical exfoliant, like papaya extract or very gentle round physical exfoliant.  Try it on your hand first.
3. Moisturize with a cream or oil that contains antioxidants.
4. Sunscreen always and reapply during the day, even in winter.  I have a friend dermatologist who refuses to work with anyone on anti-aging that does not commit to sunscreen.  If you do anything to try to counter aging, sunscreen is the first step.

If you follow my bare bones protocol, your skin will start looking more radiant in less than a week.  It will shock you.  For more help, stop by jolie for a chat.

Be radiant,
​Julia
