SKINCARE ROUTINE | Morning

The reality is that most of these products are so large at a molecular level that they just sit on the top layer of skin. Not only do they not hydrate the lower layers of skin they actually keep beneficial moisture from reaching the lower layers of skin thus making your skin even more dry than it was at the start! 

Acne in adults is often caused by the same reasons you had it as a teenager. Everything from toxins in your environment, like exhaust fumes and dust, can have a very strong, and very bad, impact on your skin. Stress is another huge catalyst for breakouts. Today we have enormous amounts of stress on us. 

You didn't gain weight overnight, so you won't lose it overnight no matter how much you exercise. If you don't start slowly when you begin an exercise program but instead jump into it full force, you raise your risk of injury. Not to mention, you could burn out and not want to do it all. If you decide that walking for 30 minutes isn't good enough so you walk four times a day for 30 minutes, after a few weeks you might decide it's not worth the effort. 

Many companies find it cheaper to substitute natural products with man made alternatives, but they still want to create the illusion that their product is all natural, or organic. Another thing to be on the lookout for, and one of the favorite tricks of cosmetic manufacturers,is the term 'infusion'. This implies that a wonderful, healthy infusion of a certain organic ingredient has occurred. 

If we control those explosions by focusing that energy into something constructive, such as a boxing class, or a nice long jog, we can get the stress relief we need without getting ourselves into trouble. If you're really angry nothing feels better than to do some very high intensity exercise. Do you still feel angry and upset after you've spent an hour at the gym, or running, swimming, biking, or even just taking a nice long walk? 

Studies have revealed that people who exercise for around 275 minutes a week lose more weight, and keep it off, than those who do less. This relates to 60-90 minutes of exercise every day. This regime would include some form of aerobic exercise such as bike-riding, swimming, or walking, and a period of other exercise, the most beneficial being weight training.
