Glowing Skin in 8 easy Steps

Want clear, glowing, gorgeous skin? We thought so. That's why Organic Skin Care expert Lisa Parsons (BBA),(Dip A) (HBIA), of the Pure Destiny Aromatics Organic Skin and Body Care, offers you a crash course in the secrets to great skin....

1. Keep in simple. Use Organic Skin Care. It has no harsh chemicals that rid your skin of vital nutrients. Organic Skin Care will feed you skin and help regain your youthful glow.

2. Get your beauty rest! Eight hours should do the trick. Sleep not only keeps under eye circles away but, at night, your body most actively rids itself of toxins that might otherwise wreak havoc with your skin. Z's also reduce stress, the top ache aggravator!

3. Drink plenty of water. Water flushes away the toxins that create skin problems, so drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day to clear your skin of blemishes and your system of toxins.

4. Cleanse every day! Wash your face way before you go to bed. If you wait until you're ready to hit the sack, you'll be too tired to wash up, and research shows skin repairs itself best around 10 p.m. So let skin breathe easy long before you start snoozing. For Sensitive and Dry Skin types use a Gentle Organic Cream Cleanser and for Normal, Oily and Combination Skin Types use an Organic Foaming Cleanser that will not strip the skin of vital oils.

5. Exfoliate away the old skin! It is important to exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week with a Mild Organic Exfoliate that is multi-faceted, and designed to detoxify and cleanse the skin, while providing resurfacing benefits by polishing the skin to a new level of radiance, all within a few minutes.

6. Tone for a new level of glow! To protect and tone your pores apply an Organic Hydrating Facial Toner. A non-alcoholic toner is important as is does not disturb the delicate balance of the skin. Tone the skin and remove any traces of dirt and oil after cleansing. They hydrate to the skin replacing moisture lost to the sun and wind.

7. Be nice to your face. Picking, poking and squeezing force bacteria deeper into the skin, resulting in scarring and further breakouts. Yuck.

8. Moisture everyday! A basic law of beauty is that everyone, no matter her skin type, should moisturize. What ever your skin type, Sensitive, Dry, Normal or Oily, it will benefit from moisturizers. Why? Moisturizers seal moisture into skin. How much should you moisturize? Your skin will tell you. When your skin is tight, it's crying out for moisture. Be careful not to over-moisturize - this can clog pores.
