Five Tips For Healthy Skin

As seasons begin to change, so does our skin. It may be necessary to modify your skin care regimen to help keep your skin balanced and radiant. If you are suffering from common skin care problems like mild acne, dryness or dull looking skin, read on to discover simple solutions for flawless skin.

5 essential steps necessary to having healthy beautiful skin:

1. Cleanse. Simple enough, right? Do you wash your face twice a day every day to help remove makeup and impurities? Most of us wash our face in the morning but sometimes skip the PM care. During the day you come into contact with many environmental elements that can affect the quality of your skin. At night while you sleep, your face comes into contact with the dead skin cells that have shed onto your pillow case which can cause breakouts. Washing twice a day is a must for clear skin.

2. Exfoliate. Tired of having dull lifeless looking skin? Exfoliating will provide a deeper cleaning and remove the dead surface cells that cause dull skin. You can add it to your skin care regimen one to two times per week. Tip - Don't over do it. To much exfoliating can actually cause damage or irritation to your skin.

3. Freshen. As you age, the skin starts to loose its firmness. A freshener will help refine enlarged pores and tone your skin giving you a more youthful appearance.

4. Moisturize. Moisturizing your skin is very important. When your skin is not properly moisturized it causes a breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers which help keep the skin firm. Proper moisturizer use will also help keep your skin soft and smooth. Tip - Even if you have oily skin, you still need to moisturize. Use a moisturizer formulated for your oily skin.

5. Foundation. Contrary to popular belief, foundation does not clog your pores. Foundation is your skins protection from the everyday environment. There are a variety of different types of foundation for you to choose from. From liquid foundations to sheer pressed and mineral powders, you can have little to no visible coverage yet still be protecting.

Another important tip for healthy skin is something that many don't realize. To prevent skin irritations and breakouts you should always use the same product line from start to finish. Each line of products is scientifically formulated to work together. When you use Brand A cleanser and follow with Brand B moisturizer, you risk the possibility of interacting ingredients that should not be used together. Applying the wrong combination of ingredients to your skin can cause serious damage.

Follow these simple steps and you will begin to see a clearer complexion!

The Undisputed Fight - You vs. Cellulite

Do you avoid wearing your favorite pair of pants or that cute skirt in an attempt to hide those lumps and bumps of cellulite trying to reveal themselves underneath? Where did it come from anyway and how the heck do you get rid of it?

Well, contrary to popular belief, it is not caused by being over weight. Infact, it affects roughly 90% of all women, overweight or slim .

Cellulite occurs when the fat cells under the skin begin to weaken and break down. There are a number of factors as to why it happens including your genes, estrogen, poor diet and of course aging. Unfortunately, there isn’t a cure or any magic pill or cream to make it go away but there are products that can help reduce the appearance of cellulite such as, Mary Kay TimeWise Cellu-Shape Contouring System. Clinical test prove that after just 3 weeks of using the systems 6 out of 10 women saw skin that was significantly firmer, more toned and smoother.


This powerful system helps:

*Reduce the amount of cellulite causing cells
*Stimulate cellular activity
*Strengthen the skin’s support system so cells are less able to break through and cause dimpling on the surface.


These dramatic benefits were also seen during clinical testing:

*After 4 weeks, 81% of women had firmer skin.
*After 8 weeks, 70% of women had skin with greater elasticity.
*After 12 weeks, 100% of women had smoother skin.

Start using the TimeWise Cellu-Shape Contouring System today to start reducing visible cellulite today.
