Anywhere in the world, many men and women are aware of the care of their skin . With our modern technology and social media information, so many are bombarded with all the adds everywhere in our social media. The thing is - are we aware of the ingredients of the products that we put in our skin? Are we the type who is concern only for the price?, what about the quality? We often look at the over the counter all the beautiful and colorful appealing products. What comes in our mind?
What else you could see? Let me tell you, I was pretty much like that when I was young. But our products in my time in the early or late 1980's , I heard only from the TV commercials and when I visited the stores, I took time to read the ingredients, since I was studying chemistry , I got curious of the combination of science and nature, but was not really a priority . Still on those times, is according to my wallet, or according to what I afford. Luckily, I got involved with this company - forever living products. It is the start; I learn many things about anti-aging, personal skin care, home care products, natural supplements and many more. Proud to be part of the FBO, it is not the supplemental income but the knowledge I keep updating with new ingredients combined with nature and science is very interesting and rewarding. In some years I holistically use some of the products to my self, my skin problems are improved to better. For people who knew me personally . My skin was real problematic, maybe some factors like exposure in the sun everyday, where I used to live was in Tropical country, another thing is the knowledge of Nutrition also the factor. Here in North America, with the help of FLP, we started to learn more and more and balance this information to our own needs. Skin care became important and knowledge to take care of skin improves a lot better. Skin care can be varied depending on seasons. In which I experienced that is always better to vary the skin care from summer to winter. Their are skin care that has lots of natural goodness in the first 3-5 ingredients. sometimes, less ingredients are so much better for some people. Sometimes the chemical composition of naturally derived from plants are better. I would say, problematic skin needs consistency of simple care with simple ingredients products. In my own experiences, aloe vera ingredients is one of the best in skin care. For summer, I wear less cosmetics , but moisturizer , sunscreen is important, as well cleaning or washing your face . I often clean my face with just ph-balance soap, simple as that. Then I do not want to forget , the aloe toning lotion, whenever I forget or run out of toner, my finish wash is cold water to close the pores after cleaning. Experience wise ; Being a busy Mom doing all the multi-tasking, it is sometimes hard to take time for self just for the skin care routine, but when you develop the habit of cleansing, toning, moisturizing, you will get uncomfortable if you miss a day or night with your daily favorite skin care routine. It become a habit when we do it and we see the good results. The Challenge is ; Finding the best anti - aging is not really to be relied on the experts. The expert is you. Professionals for skin help a lot when we have real trouble or problem in the skin. You know yourself better than anyone. You observed since young age what gave you trouble and what makes you feel good. We often influence by our parents, friends, and relatives or just plainly by very attractive advertising. These factors we consider in evaluating our skin
Different season, different skin care! YES! Experience; I vary my skin care depending on seasons. I started learning about it after few years consistently using one brand to my chemically, sun damage skin in my face. Imagine I cannot go out without makeup, and it became worse when I reached the perimenopause stage and the premier stage of induced menopause (long story). It was like a map of North America in my face - kind of pigmentation. I spend thousands of dollars to find the solution to recover of what I used to have. It took time and lot of patients. Under the sun, I am not so worried anymore, as long as not long enough to be under the sun. When extreme hot and humid season, umbrella is useful but feel awkward because very few are using umbrella during summer. A yearly and regular check with dermatologist for whatever issues in the skin will be prevented. Normally dermatologist gives advice like put some SPF 30 at least in how warm summer – sun exposure. The sun is not really a problem as long not over exposure. I think there is no such best anti- aging unless your skin are well nourish inside and out. One factor I consider is balance your lifestyle, have enough sleep, more clean water intake especially in warm humid season. At least just clean drinking water helps for overall health of your skin. Keep hydrated. Of course eat balance and more nutritious food. We heard often " you are what you eat". I am not sure this makes sense to everybody, but, I feel it make a real difference if you consider what to put in your mouth and your skin. Norma Dela Cruz Larroza FLP Recognized Manager
