The Skin You're In

Skin, it's the largest organ of the body, it keeps all your insides in and all the outside germs out (most of the time), you couldn't survive without skin but you'd never know it by the way we treat it!  That being said, let's talk about basic body skincare!

We all know the basics of soap, water, and lotion but how many of us pay attention to our skin's reaction to these?  I'm going to give you some tips, starting with EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE!  Each day we shed and replace over 14,000,000 skin cells!  That's a lot of skin!  If we fail to properly exfoliate the skin during our daily showering/bathing routine there is a higher occurrence of things like acne, blackheads, and ashy skin.  Step 1 of skin care is, ALWAYS Exfoliate!  Step 2: Always use a gentle moisturizing cleaner for the body! My personal preference of the moment is Victoria's Secret Lost in Love bodywash!  After bathing and exfoliating, ALWAYS remember step 3, which is to moisturize while your body is still warm from the bath or shower because the pores are still open and ready to soak up the moisturizer!  I also apply Nerium AD to my body 3 times per week to tighten up the skin all over my body!  On days I don't use Nerium on my whole body, I still use it on my face and I moisturize the rest of my body with a good moisturizer.  Keep in mind ladies it is Winter right now but Spring/Summer is right around the corner and so is bikini season!  You won't want to slip into that itsy bitsy teenie tiney polka dot bikini if your skin is not in awesome shape!!

Remember pretty is as pretty does so do all you can to stay beautiful!
