Travel Therapy

It's been a while seen I last visited a facial care center and had some self pampering. Going to the spa every weekend was one of my routine when I was still in my hometown. I miss swedish massage, foot spa and facial! Having some self pampering is kinda expensive here so I'm just contented doing it to do it myself *lol* Sometimes my husband do that for me *lol*

And I want to share with you some of my regimen to have a healthy skin :)

1. A poor diet of fast food lacking fresh fruits and vegetables is a recipe for bad, unhealthy skin. Depression, anxiety, and stress create tension in your skin, especially on your face. Avoid the sun, it can cause a sun damage. Dry, cold, or windy weather strip the skin of vital moisture and circulation, leading to prematurely older-looking skin. If you're smoking, well stop it, it's bad for your skin.

2. Eat skin readily available foods for skin health from these beauty recipes include cherries, peanuts, black soybeans, walnuts, and jujube dates. Also, citrus, healing food packed with antioxidants. For dry skin, eat more flaxseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, and virgin coconut oil.

3. Detoxify for skin beauty, one of which is through the skin, our largest elimination organ. Try carrots, apple and celery juice. It will detoxify your body and it will help to improve your skin :) My husband and I have a detox session every week, it helps ;)

4. My husband and I have a cucumber session too :) It is believed that cucumber helps in reducing swelling around the eyes or the big dark circles under your eyes. Cucumbers are the most wonderful and natural eye pads you can find for yourself. The puffiness and the tiredness in your eyes may just leave you. These natural eye pads do wonders after a long days work. You may do it thrice a week ;)

5. To have a healthy glowing and smooth skin use this recipe
Blend 4 - 5 leafs of fresh mint.
Peel and deseed the cucumber.
Add mint leaves to the cucumber to make a puree.
Beat egg white and keep it separate, then add this egg white to the cucumber mixture.
Apply this evenly on your face for 20 minutes and then rinse it with water and pat it dry.
6. Choose natural makeup alternatives found in health food stores that use colored clays, vegetable oils, and other natural ingredients.

7. Have a good sleep! Lack of sleep can make your skin dry. Sleep at least 8 hours a day :)

And most of all, be happy! Happiness helps to detoxify our body and helps to have a younger looking skin ;) Trust me :)
