Skin Care Routine | Shannon Sullivan

Instead of letting our doubts and insecurities be another stressor we can use exercise as a way to improve our physical and mental health. If we are feeling good about ourselves, if we feel strong, in control and confidant, then we simply aren't as prone to making a mountain out of a molehill and getting all stressed out over the little ups and downs of daily life. 

It is more important than ever for us to find effectitve ways to relieve some stress. The good news is that there are many ways to relieve stress from your life. If you've asked the question "do hobbies relieve stress?" I have the answer for you. Using hobbies as a form of stress relief isn't that new of a concept, but it is important for you to choose the right hobby for you. 

Providing your body with at least eight glasses of water a day will help keep your body hydrated and your skin moisturized. Now that you've taken care of the inside of your body, it's time to think about what products you need to apply to the outside of your body. Many blacks have used products such as shea and cocoa butter for their skin care needs. 

Your sweat will whisk away many toxins, it's like the rinse cycle on your washer. And one more very simple, but necessary step to skin care is to protect your skin from too much sun. Wear a hat and put on a high SPF sunscreen. Many people think that sun is good for acne because it will dry out their skin. 

If you want to keep your skin properly moisturized you need to keep your body properly hydrated. Drink about eight glasses of water every day. 5. Find, and use, a good lotion, 'good' being the operative word. Like I mentioned above many of the products you buy at the store contain harmful chemicals. The minimum problem with them is that they simply don't work. 

It's better to take it slow and build up your exercise level at a normal pace. While walking for 30 minutes at a brisk pace might not be as impressive as running a half marathon, it will help you meet your weight loss goals much quicker. If you try to train for a marathon or some other extreme form of sport when you're not ready, you're only going to discourage yourself.
