I
am regularly asked how I get my “flawless skin”. I appreciate the
compliments and I am pleased to share my secrets, such as they are.
Certainly, a healthy lifestyle is the foundation for healthy skin, and I practice what I preach:
The do’s: I
eat well, including huge quantities of fresh organic produce, and lots
of foods with healthy fat, including nuts, avocados, coconut oil and
olives. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night I drink a lot of water, herbal tea, fresh green juice, and Kombucha I have a sweaty and vigorous one hour Ashtanga yoga practice 5 or 6 times a week
The don’t’s: no coffee no soda, other than seltzer no alcohol minimal sugar minimal processed food
I
also detox myself regularly, using kinesiology, just as I do in
sessions, as well as nutritional supplements. Supplements for skin
need to be customized, but can include zinc, anti-oxidants, B vitamins,
as well as a base of a good food-based multi-vitamin, calcium,
magnesium, and Omega 3s.
Products alone won't give you
gorgeous skin. But the right products help support and enhance the
appearance of healthy skin, and keep it looking its best as we age. For excellent skin care products, I am happy to
recommend Paula's Choice.
The author of seven books, and known as “the cosmetics cop”, Paula’s
mission is to both to educate consumers on the frauds behind much of
the beauty industry and to provide effective and economical products
herself. Her website offers a wealth of information. I have used many
of her products for many years, and am happy to recommend some of my
favorites below. Or you can take a look at her bestsellers
.
Here are some of the products I depend on: Exfoliating 2% BHA Lotion for my face Skin Revealing Body Lotion for my body Skin Balancing Moisture Gel Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 15 & Antioxidants
Her
sun blocks are great, too, both the SPF 15 and 30. They don't irritate
my eyes (often a problem with contact lenses) and don't feel greasy or
heavy on my face or body. Paula also offers makeup, accessories and hair
care products.
By the way, Paula never tests on animals, and supports many animal-centered charities. She uses recycled and recyclable packaging.
