- CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
Since recently I have been suffering from super dry skin, mostly because of my low water intake and also horrible products I have been using on my skin. After reading many reviews and watching many videos I have decided to try using CeraVe Hydrating Skin Cleanser. One beneficial ingredient in this product is Hyaluronic acid which from a checmical perspective is a nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan. Glycosaminoglycans are highly polar and are extremely useful to the body as a lubricant. From the perspective of the skin, Hydrochloric acid is a major component of the skin involved in tissue repair. It provides moisture , plumpness and firmness to the skin. The key to a babies smooth and plump skin is the high amount of Hyaluronic acid in their skin and as we get older, the amount of this acid in our skin diminishes. Because of this reason I will be trying this product and seeing how it improves the look of my skin. Maintaing the right moisture balance is the key for healthy and glowing skin. It provides gentle and effective cleansing, does not clog pores and enhances the skin barrier.
- Water
It is no secret that I am definitely not a big fan of water. I could go days without drinking water and I definitely see how this has negatively impacted the look of my skin as well as my overall health. The human body is approximately 60-65% water (yes, extremely important), as water is lost in large quantities everyday it definitely needs to be replaced. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily will also get rid of harmful toxins.
- Lip care
I definitely am not a big fan of chapped lips, neither do I know of anyone that is. This is literally the most annoying and frustrating thing I had to deal with throughout the winter. After going through 3 lip balms in just 1.5 months, I've decided to start my own at home treatment to get back my great pink lips. This lip scrub can be done 3 times a week.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon fine-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon olive/almond oil
Mix ingredients in a container, massage on lips and leave it for 10 minutes. The batch should be good for a weeks supply. Be sure to use your lip balm right after to keep moisture locked in. Just a tip: An old toothbrush could also be used for also scrubbing dead skin cells off the lips.
