Good Diet=Great Skin

You can maintain beautiful skin without chemicals and expensive treatments. I grew up in the Caribbean and South America. Most women had that smooth face with a natural glow. No one used face scrubs or creams. Your diet plays a very important role  to your skin. Let us focus on your face in particular. For those of you who wear make up all day your pores are covered with a great amount of foundation. Do you really take the time to do a facial? Do you let your face breathe when you are at home by not wearing make up unless you are going out? Let us discuss your diet. My diet for my skin is juicing with green juice at least once to twice a week to remove the toxins in my body. 

I removed chocolate from my diet and I eat sweets in moderation. I try to stay away from fatty foods and I eat lots of vegetables. I juice daily with fresh fruits and drink an adequate amount of water daily. 

I do homemade face mask and include mint and pure Aloe to my mixture once per week. I use sunscreen to protect my skin from harsh weather such as the sun or cold weather. At the age of 40, I have never had pimples/acne on my face, no breakouts or dry skin.Due to my health, I have been on so many medications in the past including chemo pills and I still maintained great skin. My face and my skin is very important to me.My grandmother is 104 and her skin is still smooth as a baby bottom even though she has lost some weight. I would have loved to share a photo of her but she resides in the Islands and I am here in the United States.Her secret , there is no secret. She eats healthy and she doesn't use any chemicals. She is against medications. She uses herbs and fresh fruits.
I remember as a kid my mom use to detox us once a month with castor oil. No one in my household ever had a pill or medication. I hated it, i was home with crazy stomach cramps and frequent bathroom runs. Lol! Sometimes I wish she would forget but she never did.

I will show you my face mask mixture in a future post. One thing I would like to point out is for those of you who have allergies, make sure you are aware of your allergies.
If your face is breaking out, stop wearing foundation until it is resolved. I know some of you wake up with foundation and can't live without it. Sometimes your pores need to breathe.
Skin care does not take much time out of your day.
