Caring for and loving your skin is as important as taking care of your physical and mental health.

Looking at the history of skincare, in 3000 BC, the Egyptions spent hours using makeup products to protect them from the sun. The Greeks and Romans used honey as a moisturizer and sand mixed with various oils as sunscreen. Ouch! Along with the Egyptians, they spent hours bathing in fragrant oils. Who has time for that? Imagine, in 1870, the be all and end all moisturizer was Vaseline! Luckily starting in 1906, Elizabeth Arden, Maybelline and Max Factor to name a few, launched better skincare products. Then in 1944 the first effective sunscreen was created. All Florida residents should use sunscreen daily! Botox was approved for the treatment of facial fine lines starting in 2002.
Our skin is composed of 3 layers, the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermic. The face usually shows the negative effects of sun damage and the excessive use of alcohol. The eyes are the first place where fine lines appear. Wearing sunglasses when outdoors cuts down on squinting but smiling and laughing counteract all the anti-aging products available that you use. However, I don’t recommend giving up smiling or laughing just frowning! Drinking alcohol dehydrates the skin adding to wrinkle creation. The sun’s rays UVA and UVB can damage skin too. But fish, avocados, walnuts, broccoli, sweet potatoes and bell peppers all contain healthy oils, fats or omega-2 fatty acids that improve skin texture. So, eat up!
To celebrate this month, go for a facial or exfoliate to remove the older skin layers. Have a skincare party with friends and try out some different products by suggesting each person bring something new to try!
True beauty is not about physical appearances. It is about GLOWING from within, shining bright with love, kindness and positivity!
