Skin Care for Bad Skin Days
Posted by Patricia on Feb 18, 2008
Everyone has days when their skin isn’t as good as usual. Over the years I’ve been called on to help with skin crises in a number of situations. The #1 cause for panic is bad skin just before an upcoming wedding, or other very important life event. I’ve come across so many people who are convinced that there’s nothing they can do to get rid of blemishes in a hurry–or even in the long term.
Don’t Panic: You Can Have Wonderful Skin in Time for Your Wedding!
If you have even a couple of weeks to your special event, there is still time to considerably improve the look of your skin.
The first thing you have to do is eliminate white sugar, white flour, chocolate, chips and sodas from your diet. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day–more if you are overweight. Eating lots of salad and fruit and vegetables is also a must. There are valuable vitamins and minerals in these foods that just can’t be reproduced in a multivitamin no matter how good it is.
Then you need to go and get a good multivitamin tablet from your local health store. There are plenty to choose from; ask if you’re not sure.
The Secret to Magical Skin Improvement in the Shortest Time Possible
And now we come to the most important ingredient of your new skincare regimen: Cod liver oil. Yep, this is the secret that has drastically diminished, or completely eliminated dreaded blemishes from countless faces. It is hailed as a ’superfood’ in the health-food universe, and with good reason.
Plentiful supplies of vitamin A and vitamin D ensure rapid response to your skin problems. In fact, you’ll probably find that cod liver oil makes you feel and look better all round.
Emergency Blemish Treatment
For emergency treatment, you can mix cod liver oil with zinc oxide and dab it on your spots. It’s safe–meaning non-toxic–and it won’t dry your skin like so many other topical blemish treatments. But in the long term you shouldn’t need to do this if you’re following the other recommendations and taking cod liver oil every day.
I’m confident that you’ll see such wonderful results that you’ll carry on taking cod liver oil long after your special event is over.
Found a Good Body Lotion Lately?
Posted by Patricia on Feb 16, 2008
Because I have very dry, sensitive skin, I’m always trying out new body lotions. If I don’t take care of my skin with excellent diet and constant moisturizing I develop eczema. Horrible.
Most moisturizers don’t work at all for me, and I’m allergic to the smell of many of them too. It’s terrible to have an allergy to all artificial fragrances, lol.
Anyway, recently I tried a new one that I really love. It’s from the new Nivea range and it’s called Sensitive Balance Body Lotion.
Try it. If you have dry skin that needs pampering you’ll love it. The smell is delicate and unobtrusive too.
