5 Tips for Naturally Gorgeous Skin Part I

Other than getting Suvara's air-brush tan weekly, which is an awesome way to get nutrients into your skin, there are some great ways to take care of your skin (that you may have never thought about!).

First, it should be said that genetics are the number one reason why some people have gorgeous skin without any effort (just like those girls who can eat Chinese, pizza, bagels and never gain an ounce!)--simply because their genes are good. If you are one of those lucky few, we wish you could share the good fortune. If you are like most of us and have less than perfect skin, you may want to try out some of these suggestions.






               1.) Toss those smokes!
 Look, we know that YOU know that they are bad for you. But if vanity is going to be the only way to get you off of them, then let it be. Cigarettes cause wrinkles, fine lines, grayness and sallow coloring of the complexion (yuck!) and may even be a cause of breakouts.
Not only are the chemicals bad for your skin, but the smoke depletes your lungs ability to take in oxygen, which further frustrates your blood circulation. Bad circulation isn't good for any part of your body, and it's certainly not good for your skin. Can't do it alone? There are support groups in every major city as well as the patch and gum for quitting. Think about your skin, and your life...and how much more gorgeous both will be once you quit! Bonus: The money you spend on smokes can be spent on skin care products to help the damage you've cause!


2.) Keep it simple: So many of us end up trying new products and skin care regimens, only to ditch the products after 2 weeks because we aren't seeing any progress. Well, we're here to tell you that switching products over and over again is actually causing your skin a lot of stress, and that you should stick to a program! Choose a skin care line specific to your skin type, and try to get something that comes highly recommended. At Suvara, our products are all natural, and we use organic ingredients whenever possible. 


3.) Don't be a stress-bucket! 
  Stress is often a major component in break-outs, chafing and even dandruff. The body responds to stress in very interesting ways, and your skin is a good indicator of how you're handling what life is handing you in the moment. If your skin has gone from glowing to ghastly and nothing has changed other than your stress levels..chances are they are the reason why your dealing with skin problems. How to control stress? Experts suggest exercise, meditation, yoga, being out in nature, having a predictable routine during major transitions (such as an activity at the same time each day that calms you) and creating loving support systems around you to help when times get tough. 


4.) Excercise isn't only good for stress...
 It's also good for your skin! Why? Exercise boosts the amount of blood flow in the body, which in turn boosts circulation to the skin. This circulates oxygen as well, bringing fresh O2 to your face. Not only does this keep your skin glowing, it also fortifies and helps heal it. 


5.) What are you wiping your face with? If your work out makes you sweat, make sure you bring a clean towel to wipe your face off...using a not so clean on could make you break out more. With that said, it's also important to make sure your detergent is healthy for your skin. Just think about it: Your pores are open when you sweat, so whatever gets put on them will get soaked up. If your detergent uses lard (don't scowl...many detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets use animal fat) then it could make you break out. Use the Suvara method: free, clear and organic.
