FLAWLESS...


 Every day someone walks up to me and asks me about my skin. They want to know if I'm wearing makeup, heavy foundation or some kind of concealer. And my answer is always the same..."NO!" What you see is what you get. Shout out to the good Lord for great genes and me feeling from the time I was little girl, your face is the first thing a man sees! And if you pile a crap load of makeup on your face, it's going to age you; make no question about it deputy, your skin will be a MESS!
Add the lack of water, sleep, alcohol or smoking and you have a lethal combination of HORRIBLE SKIN! If you neglect to take care of your body, your body will neglect to take care of you.
I've been obsessed with my skin since I was ten years old, looking at the models in Essence, Vogue, Elle, Ebony and Cosmopolitan. Iman, Cindy, Christy, Linda and later on Naomi and Kimora had the most FLAWLESS SKIN. I wanted that, even without makeup, these women were exotic and BEAUTIFUL!
From Noxema, Oil of Olay and home made facial masks to Clarins, Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, Origins and LancĂ´me; I've had it and done it all.
The reason my skin is as clear as it is, is because I refuse to put toxins and poisons into my body. I do love and will have an occasional glass of Moscato; but drinking ages you as much as smoking does.
Every morning for over ten years, I swallow so many vitamins, I can't count them all. I research every product I can and use a lot of home made remedies and herbal concoctions. Believe it or not, many of them work and with research you'll find the more you spend for a product doesn't mean it's the best. I use every thing and will share my findings with you, and your skin will be FLAWLESS TOO! From the Detox Tea, Lemons, Apple Cider Vinegar to the Spirulina, Coconut and Honey, you will be able to minimize the use of make up and work with what GOD GAVE YOU! (Pic courtesy of MADEBYGIRL)
