How to have a Skin like a goddess

A goddess like skin is achievable regardless of your complexion and skin type... You can be a melanin goddess, a caramel skin goddess or a light skinned goddess. All you have to do is follow the steps below judiciously and make it a ritual. 

        

1) Get rid of blemishes: Acne, Eczema, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, dark circles, excessive lines and wrinkles that are not age appropriate.

 Acne: The first step is to find out your skin type i.e. , combination skin, oily, or dry skin. Then find out if the Acne is due to hormonal imbalance or bacterial proliferation. You can culture the exudates (i.e . The liquid or pus that comes out of the acne )  to be sure. 

Treatment: Start a C.T.M routine( cleanse, tone, moisturise). The product type to be used depends on skin type. For e.g... Dry skin don't do well with products that contain alcohol, Oily skin don't  do well with products that contain excessive glycerin . Also for extreme cases you may need to extract the acne to open up the pores and this must be done by a licensed cosmetologist or dermatologist. Cleansers that contain Tea tree oil, and or Salicylic acid works well for acne. Example of a good Toner is Rose water toner, then a good moisturiser should contain hyaluronic acid or snail extract. At the stage where the Acne is purulent don't scrub or use scrubs you must be as gentle as possible. 

Recommended brands include Bioderma range, Topicrem range, Aveeno range and L'avanya range for acne.

It is important to note that supplements will help, so invest in good skin care supplements especially if you have Hormonal imbalance.

Eczema:Use topical antifungal creams and wash like Nizoral

Atopic dermatitis:Use skin care range like Eucerin, Topicrem and E-45

Hyperpigmentation: This may be due to over exposure to the Sun or a rebound effect of using bleaching agent. The first step is to start using a good sunscreen properly ,then use gentle skin lightening agents. Some cosmetologists will prescribe chemical peels or microdermabrasion.

2) Remove dead cells!!! .. Exfoliate and moisturise to clear ashy skin. You can Exfoliate twice or thrice a week (depends on need)... Products that contain Vitamin C is recommended, also use a body exfoliating brush on your dry skin before you shower.

3)Drink water, eat Salmon and Garlic: One way to achieve this is to download an app that prompts you to drink the required amount of water regularly. Also try to incorporate Salmon and Garlic regularly in your diet.

4) Beauty Sleep: This is sooo important and can't be over emphasized.

5) Exercise: It gives your skin a characteristic glow. Also remember to work out the facial muscles and give them a gentle massage.

6) Stick to your skin care routine: Consistency is pivotal to achieving a gorgeous skin. I always recommend a simple and effective routine tapered to your skin care needs.

7) Positive affirmation: Look at yourself in the mirror and profess positivity. Tell yourself that you are beautiful and mean every word.
