Beautiful Skin and Me

I was eight or ten when my grandmother sat me down and told me I should carefully moisturize my face and neck each day. She shared with me that her own mother had taught her how important it was to care for your skin from a early age. I suspect that my great-grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother actually have excellent genes when it comes to lovely, young-looking skin – but I know they also cared for their skin their whole lives.

I actually look fairly young for my age, but I attribute that to moisturizing since I was quite young – and to good genes. :)

My daughter’s skin is very different from mine. It is much darker, for one. She is also prone to much drier skin and sensitivities. I want to learn all I can about teaching her to take care of her skin and its unique needs.

SkinHealthToday.com is a wonderful little website totally dedicated to the topic of healthy, lovely skin and its care. I’ve got it bookmarked (and you should think about bookmarking it, too). The site is paired with the weekly radio show “Skin Health TODAY” on WorldTalkRadio. You can catch the free streaming audio online live every Thursday at noon, but if you miss it you can find archived podcasts, too.

My current skin care obsession is adult acne. I was a teen with flawless skin. I kid you not. I did not have to deal with pimples at all in high school. It’s different now and I feel like a teenager who has to get used to my skin all over again. The site has several helpful articles on the topic (YAY!). Plus, they have a BeautyWorkout Club you can join for free that gives you lots of benefits, among which is free coaching by phone or email from a licensed professional. That’s my kind of freebie.
