What are your best kept beauty secrets?  

Wow I have not even heard of this green peeling oil you speak of. Sounds amazing and it is weird that because I have read about so many different oils too. So in a way it must cause your skin to kind of exfoliate naturally in a way? Lately I have been experimenting with different exfoliating cleansers. I wonder if this green peeling oil is a better option. Does the bottle have the ingredients on it, that legally at least should be on the bottle. Is it all natural? I am trying to get my hands on some natural things that help the skin heal and repair itself. I am at the moment using a vitamin e serum, and it seems to be helping my skin heal up from some breakout. I also have some organic avocado oil that I sometimes mix one drop with the serum as the serum is quite thick so I like to thin it out with another oil. I am looking for something like your oil that rejuvenates the skin too.

Mine is quite simple too. I cleanse and moisturize and tone every morning, but lately I have been wanting to really help my skin repair and replenish itself in a more dramatic way. I have been slowly finding out about some natural things but one important thing that is also helping my skin is my diet, I drink more water now and also eat well. I think that is an important key in all this. Yes and sleep is also a very important factor. If you are tired, it is more likely that your skin will also be tired also. There are so many factors to consider, one can only forget sometimes to follow everything. We are human though, I guess the important thing to do is try.

That right some creams these days have a lot of ingredients but most seem to be just chemicals that are really of no benefit to the skin. I do like the honey or lemon suggestion and I may try that today. My mom got me some raw organic honey which I think is the best you can find today, as less processing means that there are more nutrients in there. I actually hadn't bought lemons for a while but yesterday for some reason I did. Well I shall do some more testing today with some of the things I got. I think putting natural yogurt on your skin is really good too. I really appreciate your comments and suggestions. I think a lot of people will find this helpful instead of paying tones of money for something that essentially will make no difference. I think we all just need to educate ourselves so that we don't buy poor quality products for nothing.

It is so important to also mention diet and how much that can influence our skin condition. So I am trying to eat well and focus on that side of things too. Nutrition is the key to many thing and ills in our body. I guess that should be our starting point.

Well I do think it is hard in this day and age not to care because there is so much talk about it and we see everyone becoming more health conscious and so why not beauty conscious too. I mean sometimes if we don't eat right we don't look right either, so in a way our health I guess works together with our beauty. Times are changing but I hope for the better and I hope we get rid of all packet food which is not good for either health or beauty and bring in more natural and healthy produce that will make us stronger and look better too.

Thats great, everyone should be doing what ever really works for them. I mean if you found something that works for you and is simple and easy to maintain, than more power to you. As for some of the products you mentioned I would look into more natural powders and compacts like the mineral stuff because some of the other stuff that have chemicals can not be good for the skin. I guess that goes with anything we use on our skin. I am so glad they are making more natural and I have even seen organic products out there. I think they know that people are becoming more aware of things and ingredients in products and people do deserve answers. Its great that you don't look your age, usually people who look after their health tend to look younger too.

That is one factor that is true too. One should always have a good outlook on life and basically try to eliminate negative forces which in turn can really effect the health or stress levels of a person. I agree that point should be addressed probably to begin with and then one can slowly move into a more balanced lifestyle. I think when one feels good and is doing good things for their body, and looks good then naturally they do actually just develop such a confidence that really is something to smile about.

That is right because if you look after your insides then surely it does show on the outside. I have noticed that myself. Since I have been eating better and eliminated quite a bit of bad stuff my skin has become more nicer with less breakouts and I am almost loving it. I sometimes forget to drink some water but now I try to carry a bottle around with me to help with the whole detoxification process. My favorite water is the fiji water but it is a bit too expensive and so I mostly buy the cheaper spring water. I don't drink from the tap because of the chemicals in the water where I live are pretty bad. I can even smell the chlorine in the water, so for sure I am trying to make some small changes like that to help my insides.

Oh I love the clay masks, I have an all natural one at home. It is just the clay that you then mix with pure water. I love it but I have been forgetting to use it. It really is a nice thing to do at least once a week. I did hear about lime or lemon how it can lighten the skin, its funny that you should mention this as today, I cleaned my face with some lemon juice and then applied some vitamin e serum to my skin for a few hours before I showered. I felt really refreshed after. It really was amazing. My skin looked a lot more smoother too. I also read about turmeric but I just find it more useful in my cooking, I don't use much either but I know I should as it has some really good benefits. Thanks for your tips. I really appreciate all the responses I get because wow everyone has their own different ways of looking after their skin. Its nice to learn from people too.

well i love to share them bluemars :) actually lime honey etc helps in making the skin glow plus using just lime doesn't take much time too! u reminded me to take time out to take care of my skin which i've been neglecting for sometime now!

I know what you mean I was doing the same thing with my health and my skin care. I thought no that is it, because I was also getting sick too. I want this year to be a fresh new start for me and to make some positive changes that will help now and in the future. I really have to stay focused but I am trying also not to be hard on myself if I fall off the wagon, I just have to make sure that I climb back on and continue on again or just try again and again. Sometimes we forget so many things in this life. I guess it is because life can be so hectic sometimes and there is so much to consider that at times we just forget about ourselves without even meaning to. Your important too so its good to make time for ourselves.

i so agree with you! my schedule gets so hectic that if i want to do something i've to plan and consiously do it to make it a habit! but i hate having routines too! so i want each day to be different and try out new things all the time even if its in those beauty treatments!

Yeah it can get like that but the important thing I think is to make some time for yourself. I think we do deserve it. Today I was feeling like doing something different too. Even though it may not even be beauty related. I think sometimes we just feel like that, you know like you are in the mood or have this feeling to try something new be kind of more inspired in a sense.
