12 tips for glowing skin

Every YUMMY AGER needs glowing skin to look vibrant, healthy and full of life. It’s easier to achieve than you think.

Here are 12 tips to get your Glow-on!

1. Eat salmon – high in Omega 3’s it hydrates skin from inside out and reduces inflammation that can cause dull, red skin
2. Eat berries, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, broccoli, garlic and green leafies – antioxidant rich foods fight free radicals that damage cellular structure of skin
3. Break a sweat – raising heart rate once a day makes skin glow
4. Sleep at least 7 hours – sleep restores the body and washes skin with a fresh glow
5. Deep breathe – fluid builds up in the lymph system making dull, puffy skin.. get lymph going by doing 10 minutes of deep breathing
6. Apply sunscreen – the word now is to apply 2 coats (I use Eminence SPF powder–so easy)
7. Drink green drinks – the all round winner! https://www.redshoezone.ca/yummy-green-goddess/
8. Be grateful – happy joyful heart = glowing face
9. Drink water – when we’re thirsty we’re already dehydrated and skin looks dry and parched.  Glow Water – 2 liters water, ½ cucumber sliced, 1 medium lemon sliced, 12 mint leaves. Crush mint leaves to release oils. Place in pitcher overnight.
10. A happy person glows – do something kind/smile/say hello/make eye contact with everyone you meet
11. Exfoliate – remove dead skin cells that hide your glow. I love Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafolient from Eminence (on face) but you can make your own. Here are 2 — mixing baking soda with your favorite cleanser will do the trick or combine 4 tablespoons chick pea (besan) flour, a pinch of turmeric and enough milk or yogurt to make a paste. For body 2 you can make your own – mix 2 parts salt or sugar, 1 part oil (grape seed, almond) and a few drops of essential oil
12. Apply facial oil (almond, apricot or a rose oil facial blend) before applying moisturizer – be liberal with both.
