Women are really scared of wrinkles showing and growing old. As we all know, wrinkles are part of human's aging process.It is pretty much impossible to not age and not have wrinkles unless you opt to undergo under the knives or botox.
I'm very lucky to be blessed with good skin.Gotta thank my mum for the good genes. The other day when i was at work, a 21 year old actually complimented that i hv very good skin and said that a customer said the same thing as well.Yes i do receive a lot of compliments about my skin and all compliments came from people who are younger and older than me... you may think i'm a bit immuned to all the compliments but HEY I AM NOT!It always feels good to receive compliments!  especially when the compliment is coming from someone who is 6 years younger than you are.
So.. how do i keep my skin in a good condition... well my skin wasn't always perfect... for a period of time, i did have a very bad breakout due to stress. What fixed it you might ask? Facials and trying to de-stress yourself would definitely see an improvement. Facials helped clear my skin a lot but didn't really fully fixed the problem. The moment i wasn't under stress of a bad relationship, my skin cleared and went back to normal.
Tip No 1:THOU SHALT NOT STRESS
Stress will just increase the wrinkles on your face as you'll always be frowning or crying or upset. Learn to cope with stress and you'll be surprised how it won't show on your face!
Tip No 2: Drink more water
I am very surprised that a lot of girls out there do not even drink enough water.Let's face the fact that water is good for health. You are suppose to consume at least 8 glasses a day but is everyone doing that?I drink at least 1.5L at work everyday.That doesn't include the water i drink when i get home or any other fluids i might consume such as my all time favourite-sugarless green tea!Water not only hydrates your body but your skin!
Tip No 3: Always try to sleep before 11pm
When i was younger, my mum use to go off at me for sleeping late and then one day told me not to sleep late and that our body rest better at that time and hence it's better for the skin. I thought it was just one of those old wive's tales until my beautician back in malaysia told me the same thing too. For me, my skin doesn't produce a lot of oil throughout the day and in fact, it remains pretty dry throughout a normal day.The only time my skin produces a lot of oil is when i sleep. I realise that when i sleep by 11, my face will be super oily when i get up (EWWW I KNOW BUT at least i only hv an oily face when i'm in bed and not throughout the day). Maybe this is worth trying?
Tip No 4:Use good skin care products and adopt a good skin care regime!
Even if you are blessed with really good skin, you have to take care of it! I spend heaps of money not to improve my skin but to maintain it!If you don't start looking after your skin, with all the pollutants that the environment is contributing to your skin, and all the late nights and partying, you will look 30 at the age of 25.
It is important to cleanse, moisturise and definitely SUNSCREEN YOUR FACE WITHOUT FAIL EVERY SINGLE DAY!
It is important to keep your face hydrated and to replenish all the vitamins and minerals that it needs.This is where all the masks comes in handy!
Tip No 5: Do not party and drink too much and neglect your beauty
To all the girls out there who parties really hard and drinks a lot.... one day, age will show on your face. If you do not take care of it, only heavy makeup would cover your aging skin BUT once you wash off that makeup, you'll only scare the shit out of yourself with all the dark eye circles, parched skin calling out for help and requiring immediate hydration....If you party a lot, do not neglect your skin!Do not sleep with your makeup on just because you are drunk. I remember that back in the days when i got drunk, i will still go home and have a shower and wash my face no matter what.Never ever sleep with all that dirt on your face!
Tip No 6:NO SMOKING!
Girls!!Do not smoke!It looks not only ugly and un-classy but it also causes your skin to age heaps faster and add more wrinkles to your mouth area!!!Haven't you girls read enough of magazines who show you those scary photos of what smoking does to your skin?
In my next entry, i'll introduce some of the products that i use or have used and personally recommend to everyone.
Nighty nite!Sleep early chickos! |
