Are you finally going to say your “I do” in a month or so? Do you wish to have glowing skin on that big day? Do you dream of getting smoother and softer skin? You can absolutely get what you dream and wish for if you only do the following easy ways to have radiant and beautiful skin. These are 6 tips I’ve gotten from a successful wedding makeup artist in Orange County:
1. Eat plenty of pineapples.
If you want your skin to look great, include lots of pineapples in your diet. They not only taste delicious but can also do wonders for your body and skin by getting rid of the toxins present in your body, forming collagen, reducing inflammation and improving digestion. Pineapples contain bromelain that helps in the cleansing and circulation of blood, making your skin look healthy and radiant.
2. Drink lots of water.
You must remember that water is essential for your body not only so that it can help the body to function well but also to make you look youthful. To keep your body and skin hydrated, you should drink at least 8 glasses of water.
3. Eat more fruits.
Eating fruits that contain lots of water can also keep your skin hydrated and look great all the time. Watermelons contain lycopene, sodium, magnesium and calcium aside from the enzyme-packed water, while cucumbers contain fiber, vitamin C, electrolytes and B vitamins. The vitamin C in cucumbers contributes a lot in brightening your skin. Also, fruits that have high amounts of carotenoids such as mangoes, bell peppers, tomatoes and leafy veggies can improve the skin tone to make it glow. Although your makeup artist in Orange County may not be a licensed nutritionist, she’ll probably tell you many of the same things you’re reading here.
4. Get enough exercise.
The toxins in your body are flushed out as a result of exercising. Exercise improves circulation which is good for the skin as it keeps the skin cells healthy. You can vary any physical activity such as running, biking, hiking, yoga or other activities you consider interesting. Exercise can actually do more than just improving circulation as it can also help you think even more clearly and uplift your mood, making you look happy, calm and beautiful all the time and throughout your wedding.
5. Moisturize your skin.
Almond oil and coconut oil are very effective moisturizers for the skin. You can eat more almonds and take small amounts of coconut oil to improve your skin inside and out; however, you can directly use the oils on your skin so that you can make the most out of the antioxidants found in such oils. In addition, be sure to use face cream that does not contain a lot of polyunsaturated oils or petroleum-based ingredients. Choose the one that contains more non-toxic and natural plant ingredients.
6. Exfoliate your body and face.
Regularly exfoliate your body and face with a soft washcloth. You can mix ground oatmeal with oil or water. You can use almond oil, olive oil or your favorite oil. Exfoliation is essential to get that rosy glow you ever wish to have since you can remove the dead and dull skin only by exfoliating. Also, you can always consult with your Orange County makeup artist for additional tips.
