Scoring Sultry Skin

A radiant, sultry complexion starts from the inside. The first step is to hike up the hydration. Drinking eight glasses of water per day, every two hours, keeps skin smooth and blemish free.

Color your face without crayons. Dermatologists suggest using a mask with hyaluronic acid, which traps water in skin. Covering face with a warm, damp washcloth from one to five minutes gives your face a rosy glow.
Toe the line. Bending over and touching your toes for five seconds, five times daily, draws blood to the face and brightens your cheeks.

Cheer up! Happiness releases endorphins, adding color to your face.

Exfoliate to accentuate. The process sloughs off dead skin cells, revealing a fresh layer of skin. Using a non-emollient alpha hydroxy based acid in the morning and Retin-A at night fights acne and wrinkles.

Ditch the bars. Alcohol dehydrates skin, while bar soaps tend to clog pores. Switching to non-abrasive, liquid cleansers like Cetaphil or Neutrogena is a better choice. Washing with tepid water versus hot favors the skin.

Cut it out. Nix refined sugars, chips, nachos, candy, colas, and artificial sweeteners. Reduce caffeine, carbohydrates, and meats. Eat more dark, leafy greens, orange vegetables, grapes, beans, peas, and lentils to maintain and repair skin.

Go nuts! Walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and almonds boost Vitamin E, an antioxidant and skin healer and essential fatty acids, which prevent acne flare-ups.

"Re-vitamize." Vitamin A, C, D, and zinc are great skin healers, nourishing the skin.

Keep your hormones in check. Unbalanced hormones instigate break-outs. Daily exercise increases estrogen, which fights wrinkles and drops serum production- decreasing pimples. Chronically dry, flushed, or itchy skin can signify thyroid problems. If you experience these symptoms, get them checked out by a physician.

Sun block. Wearing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 and a wide brimmed hat that covers the face decreases the likelihood of dehydration, wrinkles, and skin cancer.

Zap your zits. Dabbing blemishes with colloidal silver, lavendar oil, or tea tree oil can heal pimples. Picking, squeezing, or scraping pimples creates skin pits and spreads break-out forming bacteria.

Brush your body. Body brushing skin with a special long-handled brush eliminates toxins and stimulates circulation. Natural bristles work best.

Sleep it off. A good night's sleep repairs wrinkles and lines on the face. The hormone melatonin acts as an anti-oxidant. Bad sleep causes tired, washed-out skin. Time for a snooze. . .
