Have a Clear and Beautiful Skin

Have a Clear and Beautiful Skin.


 I always had a bad skin: acne, large pores, and redness.
One year ago I decided to make a research how to make my skin acne free.
 I discovered that we need to be sure that our diet is nutritious and balanced, with the proper amount of protein, fats and carbohydrates.
In treating acne, it is important to remember that what you do eat is jus important as what you don’t eat.
What to eat:

1.    Seafood (it offers large quantities of protein and significant amounts of vitamins and minerals).
Salmon, tuna, sardines, sablefish, anchovies, clams, crab meat, lobster, scallops, shrimp
           2. Skinless and boneless chicken breasts
           3. Turkey breasts
           4. Egg whites
           5. Tofu
           6. Extra virgin olive oil (has the highest percentage of monounsaturated fat of any type of cooking or salad oil).
           7. Nuts
               Almonds, Hazelnuts, pecans, Walnuts
            8. Beans (black, kidney, Lima, soybeans, chickpeas).
           9. Fruits and Vegetables (these foods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they also contain water, witch helps hydrate the skin and body).
             Apple, asparagus, avocado, bell peppers, blackberries, blueberries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, dill, eggplant, garlic, ginger, grapefruit, honeydew melon, kale, kiwi, leafy Greens Legumes, lemons, lettuce, mushrooms, nectarines, olives, onions, parsley, peaches, pears, plums, radishes, raspberries, spinach, tomatoes, tomato juice, zucchini
            10. Oatmeal (not instant).
            11. Dairy Products (milk and dairy products excellent source of protein, calcium and vitamin D. Look  for those that do not contain BGH(bovine growth hormones).
                    Cottage cheese, low-fat, low-fat milk, feta cheese, parmesan cheese, sour cream, yogurt
            12. Green tea and water
            

Foods to Avoid
Bacon, beef, duck, hot dogs, butter, cream cheese, half & half, hard cheese, heavy cream, Ice creams, margarine, breads, bagels, cake, candy, chocolate, cookies, cereals, croissants, doughnuts, flour, granola, muffins, noodles, pancakes, pastry, pie, pizza, pudding, pasta, popcorn, sugar, waffles, bananas, carrots, corn, corn syrup, dried fruit, fruit juice, grapes, jams and jellies, mango, oranges, peas, pickles, potatoes, pumpkin, raisins, relish, watermelon,  alcohol beverages, coffee, honey, soda (including diet)

Avoid sun exposure (it causes fine lines and wrinkles)
Avoid smoking and second-hand cigarette smoke because it ages skin and makes it appear dull.
Avoid drinking alcohol (it dehydrates the skin).


Make sure you drink eight to ten glasses of water every day.
Regularly exercise (it will increase circulation to the face and result, glowing complexion.)

Right Hair and Makeup Can Make a Big Difference



Right hair and makeup can make a big difference.

You don’t have to spend hours to look terrific. Read on for easy tried-and-tested tips that will take years off your look.
1.    Radiant skin. Use a luminizing primer, and stick to liquid or cream foundation, as powder can be drying (set with powder only when you are oily).
2.    Concealer is your friend. Use to conceal redness, and to highlight. Drew lines around lips, over cheek-bones, down the nose, and above the brow bones- then blend them in with a sponge. Use concealer as little as possible under your eyes, and gently work it down onto your cheeks. “It can be very aging if it sinks into wrinkles.”
3.    Cream blush adds dimension and instant glow. Use two different shades of blush and touch of shimmer on cheekbones.
4.    Applying shadow. Use a matte eye color shadows across the whole lid (avoid shimmer, which brings out texture like fine lines), apply a deep hue to the outer corner of the eye. A touch of glowing shadow on the center of your lid and inner corner will instantly brighten you eyes.
5.    Brows. Use a pencil in a tone slightly lighter than your hair color and blend well with a spool brush.
6.    Mascara. Look for one that separates and curls (thickening mascara can weigh down thin lashes and cause clumps). On your bottom fringe witch is thinner and more delicate than the top row standard brush can easily cause clumping, place a small amount of mascara on a tiny fan brush and comb it through the lower lashes.
7.    Lipstick that’s rosy or beigey is most flattering on everyone. Use a dull lip pencil to softly round the outer corners of the lips and soften the Cupid’s bow. A satin-finish lipstick will add moisture and give good coverage. To finish, pat a bit of pearly cream shadow in the center of the lips.
8.    Find your perfect red. If you have pale skin, try blue-based reds, and if you have olive or dark skin, orange-based reds usually look best. A satin, medium-tone red suits all skin.
9.    Gorgeous Hair Color. Never go too dark around the hairline. You need softness around your face or you’ll look severe. Don’t go too blonde (ask for both highlights and lowlights. The right highlights can light up your face.
10.    Don’t be impulsive when it comes to your hair. After chopping off all my hair and immediately regretting it, I learned the value of having a signature style. You can make subtle changes- moving your part from the middle to the side( it instantly ups the glam factor of any style), letting it grow past your shoulders, or adding fringe- but nothing so drastic that anyone would notice a big difference. It’s all about keeping it fresh.
