How To Have Perfect Skin... Without Makeup!

posted in Skin & Body Tips on 8/15/2014

Everyone can have perfect skin... even the ones that have breakouts all time time!

Start off by drinking at least 2 liters of water a day! Increase it if you exercise a lot.

Sleep at least 7-9 hours a night! Beauty sleep isn't a myth.

Every 4 days, change your pillow case. Bacteria, hair products, etc. can stay on the pillow case and cause breakouts.

Take your vitamins! Omegas, vitamin D, vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and increase your fruit and veggie intake! (Raw is best)

Take your vitamins! Omegas, vitamin D, vitamin C, Biotin, other B complex, and increase your fruit and veggie intake! (Raw is best)

Limit your coffee to 1 or 2 a day. NO MORE.

Steam your face 3 times a week! Put boiling water into a large bowl then put your face into the bowl, making sure not to touch the water, then add a towel over your head. Steam for about 3-5 minutes. Make sure to rinse with cold water right after, to close the pores. Apply a lotion of your choice.

Wash your face every single day, twice a day! Aveeno works wonders. They have a ton of products meant for your skin type. Use a gel face wash for the night time, and a foam one for the morning. 3 times a week, use a face wash with small beads for in the morning to exfoliate. Use really warm water to rinse face before using cleanser, then use cold water to rinse the cleanser off, which closes the pores. Make sure to moisturize afterwards. Both morning and night. A little goes a long way!

2 times a week, apply a mask of your choice... You can make a homemade one, or buy one. Make sure to use one for your skin type. If it's not for your skin type, it could make your skin worse!

Dilute an organic lemon juice with water. 1/4 cup lemon juice, to 3/4 cup water. Use this as a toner around the times you seem to break out the most. (Stress, period, junk food, etc.) Apply it in the evenings before bed.

Use a homemade face powder that makes your skin glow as well as help prevent future breakouts! Swipe for recipe!

Cinnamon Face Powder! -Cinnamon -cocoa powder -Cornstarch -Turmeric Combine the ingredients until it matches your skin tone. Once it is fully blended, apply to face with a fluffy powder brush. The cinnamon is antibacterial and the turmeric is great for the skin!

Coconut oil is fantastic for you. If you want to look dolled up naturally, apply coconut oil with a clean mascara wand to your eyelashes and brush out your brows! A little goes a long way. It darkens your eyelashes and shapes them. You can also add a little to your lips for a shinny gloss.

Don't pop your pimples... It will only spread the bacteria and cause more breakouts. Apply honey to them after you use the lemon toner. The next day they won't be as noticeable.

Make sure you wash off your makeup every single day. Get in the habit of doing so. Try to eat clean. Toxins can do terrible things to your skin! Make sure you aren't lacking in vitamins and minerals. Go get a check up done to make sure. Sleep is crucial. Try to limit alcohol to once a week or less! Stick to non sugary beverages... Sugar is honestly so bad for you and your skin.

If you wear makeup:
Wash your makeup brushes weekly! They can carry terrible bacteria. Make sure you don't touch your face throughout the day, and make sure to always wash your hands before applying your makeup! Also, throw out old makeup... you don't want all that bacteria going onto your face.

Swipe to see a few great products! 😊

All of the "simple" products are amazing! They don't use harsh chemicals and almost every product they have is great for sensitive skin. I use their moisturizer... ^

The "olive spa experience" products are also amazing... I use their facial gel wash everyday! ☺️

And of course... "Aveeno products" I use those 3 brands of face products each and every single day!

In the morning I use the "Olive" brand face gel, and every second morning I use the "simple" brand face scrub. I like the "simple" face scrub because the beads are very gentle on my skin. I use Aveeno toner and "simple" moisturizer in the morning as well. At night I use the "Aveeno" clear skin face wash, and then apply the "simple" moisturizer or if my skin is feeling dry, I will apply the "Avon" night cream.
