What is true beauty? What is it to you? As I have gotten older with more wrinkles and more body mass.....I have wondered this. Hollwood seems to set the standard on what beauty is and how to stay young....looking. But what about the everyday woman? There are many beauty products out there for us to try...hoping our wrinkles will disappear and our belly fat will shrink.
I was born with beautiful skin. I have stayed out of the sun since I was 25, mostly because I had 7 moles removed and every doctor said to stay out of the sun. This has really helped me with fine lines and wrinkles. Also, I do not smoke or drink. I do have frinends who have an occasional glass of wine and they have beautiful skin. So what is a girl to do when she starts aging?
I personally work at keeping my skin looking as young and healthy as possible. There are lots of products out there laden with chemicals that help. But as I have gotten older and the more I read I want as few chemicals as possible. I do eat well, of course those Peanut Butter eggs this weekend do not help my cause. Ha! But eating well.....drinking lots of water and adopting a regular exercise routine does help. Since my skin is sensitive, finding products that do not break me out in a rash has been difficult over the years. I believe finding a product that works for you also helps. So just in case some of you ask, recently I added a product to my routine that I love....and has really helped with my sensitive dry skin. https://www.youngliving.com/vo/#/quick-order/product-info-page/32953/false/shopping-cart..I also have some DIY oils serums I have made. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like some recipes.
Stress can also wear on your face and body. The Bible mentions a gentle and quiet spirit as being true beauty...1Peter 3:3-4.. Getting alone with the word of God and setting aside a time to rest is very BIG in me staying young. Having a few minutes to relax each day keeps my stress level low and puts a smile on my face.
I do not know what true beauty is to you but I know all the facial surgery in the world cannot stop time and aging. Find what works for you and makes you happy. A beautiful smile on someones face is true beauty to me......Joy keeps me young. What keeps you young?
