Fabulous, flawless skin sounds like a distant dream? Well, stop cribbing girl and get working on those dirty habits that are coming between you and beautiful skin. Here’s the bible. Now solemnly swear that you are going to abide by these commandments if you ever wish to have fab skin:
Commandment 1: Thou shall not touch your face. No playing touchy feely with facial skin.
Your hands have picked up bacteria from doorknobs to the faucet in the public restroom and you don’t want all that bacteria crawling all over your face, blocking your pores.
Commandment 2:Thou shall wear sunscreen at all times. The reason why stars have amazing skin is because they lather up on the sunscreen every time; even when they are indoors, when it’s pouring and also when the clouds have completely blocked the sun out. So it would do you a world of good to wear sunscreen if you don't want to age beyond your years.
Commandment 3:Thou shall have antioxidants. It’s a proven fact that antioxidants protect our cells from damage-causing free radicals. So if you want to feel better, look younger and be energetic eat your
veggies and sip on green tea. Antioxidants are good for you. Period.
Commandment 4: Thou shall wipe off every trace of make up. Sleeping with your make up on is a cardinal sin. Take note ladies, oil and dirt that you have picked up mixes with your make up over the night to give you breakouts. No matter how tired you are or how lazy you feel, you must wash every last trace of your make up before you hit the sack. Your skin needs to breath.
Commandment 5: Thou shall exfoliate. Be it a leisurely scrub on your day off or a professionally done microdermabrasion, you must give your skin a thorough washing down every now and then. Build-up of dead cells leave your skin looking dull as well as clogging your pores.
Commandment 6:Thou shall invest in an eye cream. The skin around your eyes is delicate. Look into a good eye cream that is lightweight and will keep the skin moisturised, treat fine lines, puffy eyes and dark circles. Plain ol’ castor oil works fine as well.
Commandment 7:Thou shall wash up after workouts. Not washing your face, neck and back immediately after working out can lead to breakouts since dirt and bacteria have an affinity to oily, sweaty skin. So make sure to wash up before you leave the gym.
Commandment 8:Thou shall scrub your back and chest after washing your hair. Not scrubbing your back and chest after you have rinsed out the conditioner from hair could very well be the cause for your body acne.
