Great Skin at Any Age

I got approached today by a youngun'(so cute), when I told him my age he replied "you really are a cougar"-never thought of myself as that but I'll take it. It goes to show how important it is to take care of yourself. No one HAS to look older than they are if they can help it. We tend allow stress, kids, husbands, jobs, etc... come before ourselves. There is nothing wrong with taking care of everyone, that is what we do, but we definitely have to allow ourselves to take care ourselves as well. I make sure that my daily-nightly natural skincare regimen is a must and I use that time to pamper my skin. If I am going to put anything on my skin it has to be good for my skin. Skin is the largest organ and research has shown, when you take a shower, your body absorbs as much as an 80z glass of water. Wow!! Can you imagine what else it absorbs? Gotta be careful and do the right thing.

The right thing for me is definitely staying in organic and natural products. As always I make sure my skin is hydrated. That means from the "outside in". I make sure I drink water and moisturize my face and body. I have dry skin and my favorite products are Yum Gourmet Pearl Hydrating Serum and Yum Gourmet Cranberry Creme Moisturizer. This line is vegan approved organic. The serum repairs my skin from dehydration (allows the skin to hold onto moisture better) and sun damage, while the moisturizer gives incredible hydration. You definitely don't have to be heavy handed with any of these products. A little goes a long way.As with any great skincare product, it should last you about 3 1/2 months (that's using it day and night). Speaking of night - the reason why you want to use a moisturizer at night is because our skin goes into a "sleep or rest " mode and while it is in that state the skin absorbs more repair and hydration than during the day. During the day the skin is so busy fighting free radicals, almost like in a tense state. We only have one face, take care of it and it will take of you.
