lol this is a problem I have!

Wearing sunscreen and checking your skin for irregularities (skin cancers, sun spots etc) - this really matters. My parents both hve had stuff cut out/burned off in their 40s. Its scary, so take good care to check your skin and look after it now!

Whitelinen · 07-05-2007

Even if you are young and have perfect skin, start taking care of it now. Don't wait for the problems to appear. Clear, beautiful skin is a blessing, so take good care of it for your whole life.

Now when summer is coming in this side of the globe, don't forget to wear sunscreen. I agree with what Bebe_86 said. Don't bake yourself in the sun, it will (in the least case) make you wrinkly, and in the worst give you skin cancer. If you want a tan, go for tanning lotions than lying on the beach for five hours/day.

Right a really stupid question but when they say body brush towards the heart, does that just mean upwards or upwards and diagonally or soething else completely?

cestmagique · 07-05-2007

^Basically you just brush in a circular motion from the furthest point of your limbs up (wrist to shoulder, feet to hip). As for your stomach and back, start at a middle point on your back (like along your spine) and work around toward your stomach. And for the chest, you're supposed to do a 'figure 8' around your breasts; obviously you don't want to brush them.

But honestly, I'd be willing to bet that all of it is crap. No matter which elaborate pattern you choose to use when you brush, you'll be helping your circulation and exfoliating your skin. IMO there's no need whatsoever to worry over brushing towards the heart. I think that just helps to make it sound more...solidly scientific I guess.

^Thanks! I was starting to worry that if I brushed the wrong way something terrible would happen to my skin!

i_<3_chanel · 07-05-2007

use natural oils (coconut, kukui nut, olive) to moisturise. so much more nourishing

body brush everyday for 15 mins
lukewarm showers, NEVER hot!
use a sunscreen with mexoryl {blocks both UVA & UVB} one from la roche posay if poss.
facial massage every night for supple, smooth skin
& the two cliches; drink water & exercise!
sounds boring but that's the only way ;]

Always laugh at life because it is a piss, and always stay caffeinated.

Advice I'm currently taking: take calcium supplements if you don't get enough calcium each day (thanks to my mum for that advice

)

Great tips so far

SomethingElse · 12-05-2007

Anytime the skin is invigorated in any direction, it's a good thing

Rub away! Seriously, I think it's massage not exfoliation where moving toward the heart is adviseable.

1. If you are even faintly interested in a college, APPLY! 3 hours of working on an application is worth not having to think 'what if?' for the rest of your life.
2. Invest in shoes that look good AND are comfortable. It's not worth it to buy cheap, pretty shoes that you can only wear once
3. Don't wash your hair everyday, the natural oils on your scalp are better for your hair than the most expensive hair products.
4. Don't lose touch with your old friends because they're the ones who knew you when you were still pimply-faced and awkward and loved you anyways.
