There is hardly any woman who does not have a desire to have that skin which glows. One thing is for sure, self-confidence is boosted, the admiration of others is added to the list, flaunting the skin (in a modest way) is one of the blessings; in fact becoming a beauty ambassador becomes a reality.
Apart from all that has been listed, there is even a greater reason to desire glowing skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body and serves important functions – It protects our bodies from the environment, maintains body temperature, excretes waste matter, gives sensory information to the brain and regulates body moisture.
The skin is a living organ which heals and renews itself constantly – every 28-30 days. It’s the face you present to the world. When healthy, it’s a source of beauty. The choices you make every day — what you eat, where you go, how you feel — affect how your skin looks. Ok, now this is deep!
My first law of beauty says ‘beauty is first within, then without’. Your true beauty is from within you. Your beauty comes from self-awareness, self-confidence and your own magnetic personality. It should reflect who you are and what comes from within.
Robert Jones a renowned makeup artist said ‘Self confidence is the most important element of true beauty’. In summary, your skin will have that added glow, when your spirit and soul glows from within. So invest time to renew your spirit and revive your soul (mind, emotion).
Truth be told, a skin that glows is not happen stance. There is conscious continuous effort that yields great rewards. Beauty begins with the proper caring of the skin and a healthy, beautiful skin is possible to achieve. Therefore, there must be the deliberate attempt to bring your best face forward because it has a direct impact on how you are perceived and received wherever you go.
The formula for a great skin (with attention to the face) is CTM – Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize. This should be done every day – morning and night. Your skin type, skin condition, age and a few other factors determine what kind of products to use (we’ll talk extensively about this in a subsequent post). If there is anything you must not do without is your ‘sunsreen’ or ‘SPF’ – Sun Protective Factor (more of that in another post).
In reality your skin glows as you glow from within. Therefore, a glowing is a product of a nourished spirit, renewed mind and a committed beauty routine.
Be sound in Spirit, Mind & Body!
