The ultimate beauty elixir
Being specialised in the natural “no make up look”, my biggest ally is the skin.
At work, people often ask me the products I recommend or what is my skincare routine. First of all, one does not fit all, second, I only use one or two natural products on myself - this will be the subject of another post - third, the real secret to a plump, glowing skin lies in the most obvious yet precious elixir…
Did you guess yet? Want a few more hints?
I could tell you that our body is made of at least half of it or that if you were to stop drinking it, you would die…
But you are well alive reading these lines, because, yes…thank you Water!
Before I start doing someone’s make up, I always look at the skin to assess how much hydratation I need in the basis, which products to use to prime etc. The lips never lie. Unless you have a specific health condition, they will get dry - no matter what you try to put on them - if you don’t first hydrate from the inside out.
So, for the sake of health AND beauty, drink more. Like now.
And before you invest in an over expensive 10 steps skincare routine (which in most cases contains chemicals that will harm your epidermis) go ahead and observe yourself as you integrate the habit of drinking more H2O.
You choose your ways, you can make it a ritual, take a joyful sip knowing it’s making you alive and beautiful, or meditate while visualising every drop you drink smoothing the surface of your skin.
And if you want to go even further on your water appreciation level, you can always read Masaru Emoto’s research, you might end up speaking to the glass you’re holding…and that’s fine by me, too!
