skin

Your largest organ is skin so you should take care of it.  I am a product junkie... although I do not really wear make-up.  Call me crazy...I am a believer that SPF is what causes skin cancer and make-up causes wrinkles.  There are always exceptions of course!! For example, make-up is heavy and mostly toxic and you put globs of it on your face... weighing it down day after day.  Your skin needs oxygen and gravity is already pulling us down so stop piling on all that make-up all of the time... you are pretty without it and i think your partner would agree too!!  Don't even get me started on what I think about Botox... wake up and smell the botulism toxin people.  Besides when you get too much...you cant even express yourself.   Men do not wear make up and Voila... they have great skin.   Of course, we "need" it sometimes and there is a time and place that we would not leave home with out it... understood. 
Onto the SPF, you do not want to get burnt because that is not good BUT you should not put a man made chemical on your largest organ everyday to prevent something  you need... SUN.  You should get 20 minutes a day in the sun to get your daily dose of vitamin D.  If you work inside all day long, then get in your car, then go somewhere else inside you are probably not getting enough sun.  If you are putting SPF on every day then your skin is just soaking up more chemicals than our polluted environment feeds you anyway. You need vitamin D to prevent cancer and bone health, among many other things... and HELLO we need the SUN!! For what ever you believe in GOD or the Universe has put it there because we need it.  Enjoy being outside... do it with you partner!! go for a walk... have a nice chat... listen to each other and enjoy a minute together.  In order to be a good CEO you should listen to the people you work with :) Make time to comment on any concerns you may have and also listen to any concerns you partner may have.  We are not mind readers and we all have something to say.  It is nice to be heard and a lot can be learned from listening. 

And take care of your skin!!! Find whatever works for you... I can not recommend ARCONA products enough.  They have transformed my skin and they smell great!!! if you are on a small budget, dont have the time for a spa break or you just like to do things yourself... dont throw away any amount of fruit, yogurt, egg whites, tomatoes, avocado. Take and thrown it in a blender and put it on your face and relax at the end of your day!!  Make sure you cleanse and exfoliate first then apply mask. 

Banana-Avacado Mask

  • 1/2 over-ripe banana
  • 1/2 over-ripe avacado
  • 2 Tbsp unflavored full-fat yogurt
  • 1 tsp olive oil
Mash banana and avacado, combine with other ingredients, and mix well. Apply liberally to face and neck. Leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
