I still have the sniffles and my joints are a little achie.
I weighed in at 172.4 lbs this morning. So it looks like a gained some water weight while I have been under the weather. It could also be that I am pre-menstral. Most women will gain water weight before and during their cycle. I am no exception. So, when I weigh myself during that week I scoff at the scale and in my mind I say: "You don't know anything. I really don't weigh that much!"
During my teen years I would have terrible acne during this time of month. To hide it I would cake on foundation. During my twenties I would do whatever I could to hide the blemishes. This meant that I would put on cream, consealer, foundation and powder.
Sometime in my late 30's I stopped worrying about the pimples and started wearing less makeup. I noticed that I had fewer breakouts.
Shortly after I turned 40 I started looking at my skin more closely and noticed that it looked better. I became more selective about what I put on my face. I have actually taken the "less is more" approach.
Since I have been out on disability, recovering from reconstructive surgery on my left knee, I haven't been wearing makeup. When I have plans to leave the house I will apply the war paint. All of my makeup is natural. I will apply light powder to my face before applying the eye liner, eye shadow and mascara. I use lip gloss with a tinge of color. Depending on my mood I will apply a light pink blusher or a light bronzer to my cheeks.
I learned over the years to keep my hands off my face and this has made a huge impact.
I woke up with one blemish this morning that will be gone in a couple days.
Everyone has their own personal preference when it comes to keeping their skin clean. I have oily skin. The less I do with it the better. When I clean my face I use Oil of Olay cleansing clothes. My face gets clean and doesn't dry out.
My face is soft and healthy looking. I believe that drinking water makes a huge impact on how skin looks, so I drink a lot of water. I carry water with me from room to room so that I always have it with me.
I also enjoy fruits and vegetables. These also keep my skin looking nice. When I get the munchies I will eat carrots, celery, broccoli, sweet peas and cucumbers. During this time of year oranges and tangerines are plentiful. This week we bought a bag of navel oranges and a box of clementines. The whole family enjoys citrus fruit. The clementines have been treat/snack food in the evenings when we are watching tv with the kids.
For all you crazy makeup addicts, try not wearing it for a day. You will feel better. Love your skin.
