Some people have naturally great, photogenic skin. I'm not one of them! This week I received several inquiries about how I maintain good skin so I decided to create a video. In my teens and early 20s I used to get pimples all the time but now I rarely do and I think it's because I have a good skin routine. When I stop doing these things my skin starts to flare up, so here's what I do: 1. I drink eight 250 ml glasses of water daily. This does not include coffees, teas, juices. If I drink a herbal (i.e. non-caffeinated tea) without any sugar, e.g. a peppermint tea I will include in my water count but anything else does not count. All my water is drunk at specific times:
2. I jog I have no idea how this works but when I stop exercising my face starts to look less good. 3. I wash my face twice daily I do this almost without fail. It's easy enough because I also shower twice a day. Sleeping with makeup is an absolute no-no. 4. I rinse my face off with cold water after washing my face This is a must to close the pores. I even do it in winter. 5. I do not wipe my face with a face cloth I stopped doing this over ten years ago. Face cloths harbor so much dirt. 6. I use Dr Miracle's It Formula for my face I have been using them for about 3 years now and I think they are very good. The system consists of a facewash, toner and a cream. None of them smell good but they work! The pack lasts about 6 weeks. 7. I use Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse Foundation - Cocoa This foundation looks so good on me that about 10 other people started using it because of me including my mother, two sisters and cousins. 8. I should exfoliate weekly but I don't! Because I am doing everything else correctly skipping this one thing does not appear to be too problematic for me. When I do exfoliate I love St Ives' scrubs. They are very good and they smell great.
