Better looking skin without skin care PART 2

I already posted "Get a better looking skin without skin care" a while ago (you can read it here), but some of you mentioned some other points in the comments and I came up with some points, so I decided to do part 2 :).

1. Eat clean. Processed food is toxic for your body and that also shows in your skin (sooner or later). Eat a lot of fresh veggies, fruits, healthy fats, lean protein, good carbs ... Unhealthy diet can cause many skin issues - pimples, acne, premature aging, dry skin, skin doesn't have any "glow", etc. You get the picture.

2. Of course, drinking plenty of water is also important. Drinking water helps you clear up your skin, flushes out toxins, hydrates your skin and gives overall healthy glow. But remember that doesn't happen overnight, try to drink only water for a week (with healthy balanced diet of course) and you will see good effects on your skin already. Sugary drinks, sodas, sweetened juices are a no-no.

3. Avoid alcohol, drugs and smoking. Alcohol dehydrates your whole body, causes dull looking skin, enlarges blood vessels, irritates the skin, blemishes and blotchy bumps appear, causes wrinkles ...
Don't do drugs, drugs are bad, mmm-kay? (big South Park fan :)). Have you seen what happened to Lindsey Lohan?
And have you ever seen smoker with beautiful dewy skin without deep wrinkles? (someone who smokes for longer period of time) ... I thought so.

4. You won't believe it, but exercising helps, too. It increases blood flow, which nourishes skin cells and keeps them vital. Defined muscles help you look better overall, too. :)

5. Protect your skin from the sun, you don't want skin cancer and premature aging, do you? Don't sunbathe for a long period of time, stay hydrated when you are out in the sun, wear sunglasses and Ph-balanced sun screen.

6. Last but not least, is face yoga and massage. Gravitation is a bitch, isn't it? Face yoga and massaging  help with blood circulation, your skin gets tighter, reduces cellulite, prevents wrinkles, stretchmarks ...

Do you have any more ideas/suggestions how to get a better looking skin? Share them with me in a comment section, share them on facebook or tweet them to me, would love to hear them! :)

Better looking skin without skin care

Well, yes, of course, skin care is important, especially if you wear makeup on daily basis. I don't know about you, but my skin is so unforgiving. Sometimes, I went to bed with makeup and my skin was dry and patchy in the morning as never before. Now I always remove my makeup before bed time and my skin feels so much better and it feels refreshed. Today, I won't talk about skin care, although I mean to do that in near future, but I will talk about little things that can help your skin looking better. Hope you'll find those tips useful.

1. (As I already mentioned:) Remove you makeup before bed time. Let your skin regenerate and let it breath when you're sleeping.

2. Clean your brushes. I've seen huge difference, when I started cleaning my brushes more frequently. Before I was like: "I use the same colours all the time, face brushes are not even dirty!" But then I got so many pimples for unknown reason. With clean brushes I don't have that much pimples, so I guess dirty brushes were the reason for my breakouts. And sanitizing your makeup can help, too.

3. Clean your phone with rubbing alcohol. If you ever noticed you get breakouts only on one side of your face, it's probably because you put your dirty phone on this side. You put your phone in a hand bag, on the table, touch it with dirty hands, put it on your face, it falls on the floor etc. Can you imagine how many bacteria that is? Every night I put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton bud and clean my phone with it.

4. This one is hard for me, but I avoid touching my face. Your hands are never 100 % bacteria free, so don't touch your face when your already touched billion things.

5. This one relates to dirty hands ... Don't squeeze your pimples. If you must do it, do it the right way. Squeezing your pimples causes even more bacteria growth, damage on your skin and pain.

6. Get you hair out of your face. You put all different chemicals in your hair, you fix them with dirty hands. I know it's hard to not have any hair on your face, but then at least clean it more often and don't use too much chemicals.

7. Last but not least, change your pillow case quite often. Pillow cases are a great place for bacteria: dirty hair, makeup on your face, it touches your face ... I usually turn it on the other side when I wash my hair and change it every other time I wash it.
