Charles Mackay - The Dionysia
Earlier this week I had a conversation with a customer who has been suffering from adult acne. I met with Julie at a holiday fair before Christmas. As we talked, I asked Julie what she did for her skin regiment. She told me that she usually washed with a soap based cleanser, never used moisturizer or if she did, used an "acne formula" moisturizer. Julie also told me that she used a liquid foundation that happened to be very old.
First thing I had Julie do was throw out her old makeup. Second thing I had Julie do was change her skin regiment. I explained to her that the appearance of oily skin was mostly due to the fact that she was stripping the oil from her skin every time she washed with a harsh cleanser. Then when she put her old foundation on, the bacteria in the foundation would find a way into her pores, thus causing her to break out. This would repeat the cycle everyday. I also told her to start using a moisturizer and to drink lots of water.
Back to my conversation with Julie earlier this week. She reported to me that she stopped using her makeup, is using a gentle cleanser and is now moisturizing and her skin is looking fabulous. She is also drinking lots of water.
Julie is now using our Earthly Dreams Cleansing Oil, moisturizing with our Moisturizing Gel and has switched her foundation to our Loose Powder Foundation (which will be up on our website later this month).
A benefit of drinking water is to carry nutrients into the cells of the body. In addition to helping nutrients get into the cells where they are needed, the benefit of drinking water in adequate amounts also helps to keep the cells well hydrated so they can function properly and efficiently. Water primarily stimulates the circulation of blood, fluids, and the necessary elements inside our body. Additionally, it also controls and regulates the skin's natural balance.
If you have a hard time drinking plain water add a slice of lemon, lime or orange for a refreshing treat. Or if you are cold, instead of reaching for that cup of coffee or tea, heat water and add a lemon slice. Enjoy!
