SKIN CARE TIPS

For wrinkle free skin, sleep on your back without a pillow
under your head. Put a pillow under your knees so that
you won’t arch your back while you are sleeping. This
will prevent you from rolling over and sleeping on your
face. That’s where you get those "sleep" wrinkles. They
are not good for your face. Also remember to tape your
facial lines at night with a light surgical tape to relax your
facial muscles while you slumber. When you dream, you
actively use your facial muscles. The tape will help
smooth out those facial lines in a matter of days. A
relaxed face is less likely to wrinkle. Just don’t look at
yourself in the mirror before you go to bed.
Remember to drink 8 eight glasses of water each and
every day. Water is the best thing in the world. Its non
caloric, filling, refreshing, healthy and it will revitalize
your skin, smoothing it out.
Use Retinol. It’s a vitamin A derivative exfoliant. It penetrates
the skin quickly, dissolving the dry, dead skin.
Retinol smoothes out fine lines and refines pores. Wash
your skin and let it dry naturally for 30 minutes before
applying the Retinol.
