Cleanse with Oil….It’s amazing!

I am asked all the time “what is the most important thing I should do for my skin?”, and the answer is always, “cleanse thoroughly!”. There is no point in slathering any product, whether it be cream, lotion, cheap or expensive onto your skin if you haven’t prepared it beforehand. The usual methods of cleansing just don’t cut it! And above all else don’t use face wipes! Not only are they full of chemicals, they just don’t do the job properly, they skim over the surface of the skin, only removing surface grime and make up. So what do you use to cleanse your skin? Cleansing Oil. Using a natural cleansing oil is THE best way to remove all traces of accumulated dirt and make up. Trust me over the many years I have been giving clients facials, I have tried everything available and using a cleansing oil is by far the most thorough method. Why is it best?

  1. It helps to regulate natural oil production of the skin. When you use detergent based or chemical cleansers, they strip your skin of natural oils, so the skin over compensates producing more oil!
  2. Oil dissolves oil. When you cleanse with oil it naturally breaks down the dirt trapped in your pores allowing it to be removed instead of clogging your pores.
  3. Natural botanical oils contain anti bacterial and healing properties which help prevent breakouts.
  4. The natural oils are rich in nourishing phytonutrients which have amazing benefits on your skin, helping to heal acne scars and fight free radicals that cause ageing.

I challenge you to use Facial Cleansing oil for at least a month and be prepared to be amazed! You’ll never use face wipes again.

Beautiful Skin All Day: The 5 Must do’s in your morning routine

Skin Guru ProductsOk peeps, You know what its like? Alarm goes off, your already mentally going through all the things you have to do that day, you crawl out of bed and into the bathroom. Do you want to start preening and pampering yourself at 6.30am! I don’t think so. So, Let’s keep it simple! Here are 5 simple steps you can easily follow as part of your morning routine.

 

1. First thing in the morning splash your face with ice cold water! It stimulates blood flow to the surface of the skin.
2. Have a cup of hot water with lemon added. It stimulates your liver and helps to cleanse the blood.
3. Before your shower, spend two minutes dry brushing your skin, using upward strokes on legs and arms and circular strokes on torso.
4. Once in the shower take 5 slow, deep breaths. Inhale the aroma of your favourite NATURAL body wash. (Deep breathing is fantastic for your skin and your health in general. Try to do it as often as possible)
5. Fill up a 1litre water bottle and ensure you drink it all before the end of the day. (most people don’t drink enough water on a daily basis).

 

So there you have it. Simple and effective steps to keep your skin hydrated and glowing throughout the day.
