10 things you can do today that will improve your complexion tomorrow!

Healthy Skin is important for your health, self-esteem and your overall wellbeing.  Taking care of your skin is is a simple process that can yield dramatic results.  Just follow these 10 tips and see what a difference it makes. Create a skincare routine. Cleanse two times daily with Faith Skincare’s Gentle Foaming Cleanser- it is gentle and won’t dry out your skin. Follow with Faith Skincare’s Absorbent Moisturizer, which is non-greasy and feels great on the skin. Spot treat your existing and upcoming pimples with Faith Skincare’s Sulphur Masque. It is a great treatment for reducing inflammation by at least 50%. Take your vitamins. Faith Skincare promotes beauty from within. In addition to taking The Purifying tonic powder, We recommend taking Omega vitamins 3, 6, and 9 which are good fats that improve your hair, skin and nails. Improve your digestive function by drinking 8 ounces of hot lemon water in the morning upon waking, and cleanse your body by drinking 7 more glasses of water during the course of your day. Eat some yogurt! Did you know that some yogurts contain bacteria that are beneficial to your body? This “beneficial” bacterium helps fight negative bacteria that have accumulated in your body. Not all brands contain enough of the good bacteria to make a difference, so if you are not sure about the brand you have, try finding a probiotic supplement containing more than one type of friendly bacteria at your local health food store. The most common are Acidophilus, and Bifidus. Eat more protein, green leafy vegetables, and replace starches with whole grains. If you weigh 140-159 pounds, your daily protein intake should be about 56 grams. The rule of thumb is 9 grams of protein per day for every 20 pounds you weigh. Contrary to what you might think, the sun will not dry out your pimples. In the long run, it will cause your skin to produce more oil. Apply a 15+ SPF sunscreen if you plan on being indoors, and a 30+SPF sunscreen if you plan on spending time outside. Did you know that stress increases your testosterone levels, which is responsible for producing oil in the skin? RELAX, and take a bath while using Faith Skincare’s Pumpkin Exfoliating Masque. Stop picking your zits! For you pickers that can’t stop the picking: do extractions with care. First, go for blackheads. Do not attempt to extract anything that has not come to a head. Put a hot steamy towel on your face to open your pores and wrap your fingers with tissue before touching your skin. Roll your fingers inward toward the blackhead or pimple- do not put pressure directly on it. If it does not come out easily stop! It means it isn’t ready. Stop using washcloths. Not only can washcloths hold harmful bacteria, they can also be too rough on the skin. Over-exfoliation and over- cleansing can actually remove your Acid Mantle- an important protective layer of your skin that prevents bacteria. Get 8 or more hours of sleep tonight. This is the time that your body uses to heal and repair itself.
