Hey everyone, great makeup starts with great skin. And for\nme great skin starts hydration. Skin requires lots of hydration, internally and\nexternally. This means drinking lots and lots of water. On average a person\nneeds to consume a minimum of 64 oz. of water, though ideally half your body\nweight in ounces is best. Of course the downside is many trips to the restroom,\nbut the benefits outweigh those trips. Staying well hydrated flushes toxins out\nof our system which will leave our skin clearer, it will add more elasticity to\nour skin and reduce the appearance of the fine lines caused by dehydration. In\naddition to drinking enough fluids, a healthy diet is key to good skin. When we\nare eating things that truly nourish our body we will also find our skin\nreflects our overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While your health plays a huge part towards having good\nskin, a good daily skin care regimen is recommended. For me that consists of\nthe following (do keep in mind I have very dry skin and make those adjustments\nto your skin care routine as needed). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My weekly maintenance includes deep exfoliation with a Japanese\nWash Cloth by Salux<\/a> at least twice a week. I really like to use this\nwith a gentle face cleanser as it will buff away dead skin, pull fresh blood\nflow to the surface and works very well to clean out blocked pores. The\nJapanese Wash Cloth is also effective in treating milea, those hard white beads\nthat form under the skin that are almost impossible to remove without going to\nyour dermatologist to have them surgically removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In additional to exfoliating with the Japanese Wash Cloth I\nuse one to two times a week the Truffle\nTherapy Face Gommage by Skin & Co<\/a>. I buff this lightly into my\nskin for two minutes before wiping away. It leaves my skin gently exfoliated\nand nicely hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My daily routine consists of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light rinse with cold water followed by QMS\nMedicosmetics Intensive Eye Cream<\/a> gently blended into the skin\naround my eyes.  For this I use my PMD Clean\nfacial cleansing device<\/a>. It gently massages the product into my\nskin, helping firm and plump the skin around my eyes. After this I apply my Saturday\nSkin Glacier Water Cream<\/a> (or when I have it my absolute FAVORITE by Touch\nIn Sol Pretty Fitter Glassy Skin Balm<\/a>) using the PMD Clean device as\nwell.  I will then apply a light\nsunscreen before apply any cosmetics I plan to use that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using my Makeup Remover cleansing cloth I remove all of my\ncosmetics with hot water and this cloth. I love this thing, it\u2019s gently and\ncuts through even the toughest, waterproof products like butter. After I have\nremoved the last remnants of cosmetics I will sometimes follow up with a light\ncleanser such as Cetapil while using my PMD Clean device to gentle exfoliate\nwhile cleansings. After rinsing with warm water and drying my skin I again use\nthe QMS Medicosmetics Intensive Eye Cream followed by the moisturizer of my\nchoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there you have it. My skincare routine. It\u2019s not too\ncomplicated, doesn\u2019t take more than ten minutes in the morning, maybe a touch\nlonger at night. It starts with a healthy diet, lots of water and protecting\nmyself from the sun. It works for me and hopefully it works for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin care regimen you choose, make sure you start\ntaking care of your skin now. You\u2019ll thank yourself later, I guarantee that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
