No matter what anyone says, radiant, glowing skin is not hard to come by. It doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars in skin creams, treatments and products to bring the natural glow to your face. You don’t have to be twenty-something to have it either. It all boils down to what you’re doing to your skin, how you’re taking care of it and what you are eating. Yes, I said what you are eating. I’m sure you knew nutrition had something to do with it. I’m sorry. If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, you probably aren’t going to achieve the glowing skin that you were hoping for. Eating fast-food every day won’t help either.
There is no magic potion. But first, let’s talk about your cleaning and moisturizing routine. I hate to break it to you, but it doesn’t come in a bottle. Spending money and energy isn’t your answer. Trust me. I’ve been there. I even sold a product that claimed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and give your skin a natural glow. It worked at first, or so I thought, until my face started to look like it was aging right before my eyes. Then, I learned about all the chemicals that went into the product to give me that “natural” glow. That’s when I started experimenting.
I stopped using cleansers and moisturizers with chemicals in them. I found a bar of soap that is all-natural and moisturizing. After a few weeks of washing my face morning and night with it, my sister even asked me what I was using! It’s called Kiss My Face. Next, I had heard that coconut oil was a natural sunscreen. So, I started using it once a day, usually after my shower. Even on my face. It started giving me a beautiful, sun-kissed glow that lasted all day.
My nutrition is key to my glowing skin, however. I eat olive oil, fruits and vegetables, including several greens, garlic and fish (mainly salmon and sardines), among other foods. But the foods I named is great for skin. I love the sardines in olive oil as a snack on crackers.
The way we eat plays a huge role in the way our skin looks. Try my recipe for adding coconut milk, much like the coconut oil benefits, to a frozen smoothie. Yummy!
