BEAUTY BOTH ON THE INSIDE AND OUT

With my birthday approaching I find myself once again conscious of how to avoid aging as much as possible. Most women would agree that aging gracefully is their goal and with the right skin care routine and a healthy diet you can take years off your life and look so much younger if you follow a good skin care routine, eat a healthy diet and live a happy contented life.

What you eat can make a huge difference to the quality and look of your skin and hair. Eating a diet high in fat and full of junk food can cause acne and leave you with greasy skin and lank hair. I have seen many transformations in women and men as they lose their weight and always note one very special thing, how healthy they look, so if you want to look your best now and in years to come here are some tips:

1. Drink 2 litres of water ever day as this not only keeps you hydrated and gives you energy it can help keep your skin supple and plumped.
2. Smoking, alcohol, caffeine, stress and lack of sleep has a huge affect on the skin.
3. Have a good skin care routine. Don’t believe all the cosmetic companies say. Do your research and make sure to be diligent with your skin care routine.
4. Having a facial once or twice a month can also help keep your skin clean, hydrated, helps reduce open pores and who doesn’t love a little pampering.
5. The #1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage. The best habit that you can create from a very early age is to apply sun block to the face every day even in winter and on cloudy days. Just like cleaning your teeth, make this a habit as it will have a huge impact on your skin.
6. Eat a healthy diet filled with fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meats, quality carbs and low saturated fats choices. Eating in moderation is the key to good health.
7. Eating a diet high in chocolate and other high sugar items can wreak havoc with certain skin types, which is why would suggest that you have a slice of one of my guilt free chocolate cakes instead, better for your skin and weight management.
8. Most importantly when you conquer your weight issues you give yourself the ability to be proud of who you are and to love yourself as you are. Let the world see you as a beautiful, happy and proud person who glows not only on the outside but on the inside too.
