You often hear of women whose skin seems to "glow." It's a kind of radiance that you see in some ladies and not so much in others. Here are some examples of how to get a soft glow to your skin without putting your finger in a light socket to get it.
Enter puberty: not that many people would want to do this again, but girls in puberty have an influx of hormones that causes their skin to look more radiant than at nearly any other time in their lives. The trade off on this is those same hormones can give you oily skin, acne and severe mood swings.
Get pregnant: we often hear about how a pregnant woman just "glows." Well, it's true. Those hormones that give pubescent girls their shine come back in force while you are pregnant. In the early stages of pregnancy many women look more beautiful than they will look at any other time in their lives. In addition, women tend to take better care of themselves during pregnancy, eating right and taking prenatal vitamins. Of course, the downside comes with all the pains of pregnancy. But at least in this case you get a really special bonus at the end.
Eat right: so, you want to have clear, beautiful skin that glows? Well, for many women it is just a matter of eating correctly. Ever wonder how Jennifer Lopez gets that gorgeous glow to her skin? Part of it is, of course, her amazing genetics. But Ms. Lopez is also rumored to follow The Perricone Prescription, a diet plan that includes lots of antioxidant foods and foods high in omega 3 acids, including plenty of wild Alaskan salmon. A daily diet of foods rich in these nutrients helps impart her gorgeous glow.
Exercise: another way to make your skin glow is to get plenty of exercise, particularly cardiovascular exercise that really gets the heart pumping. When you work the cardiopulmonary system, you cause the little blood vessels and capillaries near the surface of the skin to open up, which in turn gives you a healthy glow. Begin a regular exercise routine and before long your skin is reflecting the improvement all the time, not just immediately after your workout.
Get a facial: while getting a facial will only give you a temporary shine, the results are often worth it in a pinch. The many steps to a traditional facial, especially the facial massage, cause the small blood vessels of the face to temporarily dilate, giving you the look of healthy skin. Of course, if you are gearing up for a big event, it is best to get a series of facials, not just a single treatment right before the big day. This is because facials can also cause unexpected breakouts if your skin is not accustomed to them. The other danger is that you may relax yourself to sleep, and miss whatever it is you want to look great for.
Get an advanced exfoliating treatment: when we are young, our skin cells naturally shed very quickly, as we age that process can slow until it takes double or even triple the time it did in our youth. The negative aspect of this is that the scaly older cells on the top of our skin are hiding the plump, round cells beneath that look younger and reflect light better. A series of microdermabrasion or micropeel treatments can jump start that process and return the glow of youth to your skin. The downside here is that not everyone is a good candidate for every treatment; you will need to consult your esthetician to determine the procedure that is right for you.
Fall in love: yes, it's true. There is a special glow to a woman in love. It's not just emotion, it's chemistry. Oxytocin, the hormone that gives teenage girls and expectant moms their glow, kicks in full throttle when you are falling in love, giving you a special bond with your partner and a beautiful glow to your skin. I can't think of a better, all natural beauty treatment than that.
Ladies, and gentlemen as well, This is for you. 100% pure skin care. Truly, if you look after your skin as you get older your skin will still stay beautiful and another important thing, you will stay healthy. It's easy; believe me, if you know the right steps. So the question is do you want the very best skin care possible?
Tip 1
Avoid washing your skin daily with most leading brand soaps - as this dries out and takes moisture from the skin. There are homemade soaps which have pure ingredients in them, although they can work out a bit on the expensive side.
Tip 2
It isn't necessary to buy a skincare product that is marketed for a certain skin type: By that I mean for 'oily skin', or 'dry skin'. The best holistic skin care products should work on any type of skin - because all skin needs certain nutrients and by trying to create a product aimed at one type you have to eliminate some of those nutrients.
Tip 3
Avoid personal care products that contain the words 'mineral oils' as these are very damaging to the skin which in turn are very damaging to you as the products you topically apply to the skin go straight into the blood stream. Other names for mineral oils are: liquid paraffin, petroleum.
Tip 4
Avoid all products that state they have fragrances in them. You can be sure that the fragrances used are man made from synthetic chemicals.
Tip 5
Be very wary of the word 'Natural' as this can be used on any product. All products have used herbs and plants - right? Well herbs and plants are filled with phytonutrients and are natural in their normal state. When they are used in most skincare products they have undergone chemical processes - this no longer renders them as being natural.
Tip 6
Don't get sucked in by the presentation. This again is only done to make the consumer think that the product is worth more than it is and will have a better chance of working. This is especially true when marketers use celebrities as the face of their products. Believe me, when I say that most 絲密 of them are made with chemicals that destroy your skin cells.
Tip 7
You don't need to pay a fortune to get the most effective working products. Store owners will tell you that you do. Just don't be strung along with their marketing ploys.
