Drink Half Your Body Weight in Water Every Day

This is one point I can’t emphasize enough! Water hydrates your skin and keeps it looking supple and dewy! Water also flushes out impurities and keeps your skin blemish free. The true key to silky and soft skin is staying hydrated and flushing out those toxins! The formula is this: you drink half your pounds of body weight in ounces of water; for example, I weigh 140 pounds so I'd drink 70 ounces.

Use a Good Exfoliator on Your Skin Once a Week

The thing about skin is that it dries out easily. You can take the best care of your skin possible and still get dry patches! Using an exfoliator once a week is the key to keeping dry patches and flakiness at bay.

Be Religious about Your Facial Routine and Don’t Skip Days

Washing your face and moisturizing every day can be a hassle especially when you’re pressed for time! But taking care of your skin WILL benefit you! You’ll have that glow you so desperately desire. Going to bed with makeup on only clogs pores so always remove it before bed. Try not to overuse toner as this can dry out your skin.

Use a Color-correcting Primer

Color correcting primer evens out red tones and blotchy skin without needing a cover up or foundation! It’s usually green colored; so don’t be alarmed by the color! Your face will not look green, I promise! The green counteracts the redness!

Moisturize Every Single Day

Even if you have oily skin, don’t skip this step. Find a moisturizer that is formulated for your skin type. There is a difference between moisturized skin and greasy skin. Greasy skin is what you will have if you do not moisturize, because your skin produces oil to keep from being too dry.

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

What You Eat Matters

Your skin is usually a reflection of what you put into your body. If you live off of chocolate shakes and pizza, you won’t get that complexion you desire! Eat plenty of Omega 3,6,9 which is found in fish. This gives you lots of moisture! And vitamin A is great for regeneration. You can get vitamin A from spinach, avocado and kale.

Do Regular Facials, DIY or in the Salon

Strive for one facial a week. DIY at home is better than nothing if you can’t afford the salon! There are lots of different masks available for hydrating, drawing out impurities, evening out skin tone, and fighting acne. Choose the best one for your needs, or try a bunch of different ones just for fun!

Perfect skin may seem unattainable, but if you put forth a little effort and religiously practice the tips in this post, you should be well on your way to flawless, naturally gorgeous skin that doesn’t even require foundation every day! These tips apply for ALL your skin, not just your facial skin. Treat those legs and arms with a little TLC and you’ll be the envy of all your friends on the beach this summer!

Jordin, the headline for #1 didn't say ounces, even tho' that's what you meant. I'm sure you don't want anyone thinking they should literally be drinking half their body weight daily!

Huf nothing new...

Try baking soda masks. Quick DIY mask that makes your skin look and feel AMAZING!!!

I use a color correcting primer and it has helped me a lot to the point that I don't even wear foundation

If somebody weight 200 pounds he or she needs to drink like what 100 lit:p

member anything from your high school chemistry class, you'll remember that the pH scale works like this: 1 is acidic, 14 is alkaline. Things are either more acidic or more alkaline based on where they sit on the scale (unless it is 7, in which case it is neutral). As a reference point, your skin is roughly a pH of 4.5-5, blood is 7, an effective AHA or BHA is 3.5-4, baking soda is a 9, and the average WHITE vinegar (5-10% acetic acid) is 2.40-3.40. pH is so very important in skincare -- too alkaline and the skin barrier is disrupted or damaged, too acidic and you risk burns. Vinegar and baking soda are household chemicals and they are not safer just because they are not in a bottle in the skincare aisle. Baking soda can be used to scrub stains out of a toilet while vinegar can be used to break down lime build-up on your tub or sink. These are chemicals. They are not safer than your Cetaphil cleanser just because they are only one or two ingredients. Skin care problems are generally caused by genetics, diet, and mistreatment of the problem to begin with, such as scrubbing dehydrated, acne skin with baking soda, which damages the skincare barrier and makes your face a bacterial breeding ground. Think of your skin barrier as part of your immune system -- it is essential for keeping the bad guys out and the good stuff in, such as moisture. Scrubbing it with a too-alkaline cleanser is increasing moisture loss and decreasing the ability to keep bacteria on your skin in check. Worse, by toning your skin with a product with a pH of 2.4-3.4, you are putting your skin at risk for chemical burns, which at best are uncomfortable and at worst will scar. Please, please use products that are made specifically for use on skin -- your face is not a toilet bowl or a sink. They are balanced by cosmetic chemists and generally use tried-and-true ingredients for cleansing or moisturizing.
