How to get glowing skin by opening your pores

Let's say that before reading my first tip, called No to Make Up, you have already been applying make up naturally. Do not fret, there is still a way to reduce the damage and try to fight your way to a naturally glowing skin.

As I have discussed in the past tip, putting make up means contaminating your skin with hazardous chemicals. If you do not clean your face well, you will end up with those chemicals, still lodged in your pores until you are old enough to pass away. Anyway, one sure fire way of cleaning your pores is to expose them to heat.

Here's what you can do:






Heat water up to the point before it becomes unbearable to touch.

Dip a small or large face towel in it and let the water soak the towel.

After the towel is all dampened up, take it out of the water and let it cool for a bit.

When the time comes when you are able to put it on your face, do so.

Let it stay there for a couple of seconds; 1 minute is my personal preference. This will open up your pores and make your face more available to cleaning.

Be sure that you have washed your hands thoroughly before doing this as we cannot risk infecting your pores with bacteria.

Once you have had enough, take of the towel by either wiping it off your face or by lifting it. It won't make a difference anyway.

You can now proceed to clean it with a facial cleanser of your choice. If you do use a facial cleanser with alcohol content, the alcohol will close the pores for you. This uses the same logic as when you put aftershave after you shave.

Side note: For the men, this is also a good method to use when you are shaving. By opening up your pores, it makes shaving much more easier.

Remember, be sure to always, always clean your face after wearing making up as this will lessen the harmful effects of the chemicals in the make up.

How to get glowing skin by not wearing make up

Everywhere, we see celebrities covering their natural beauty with make up. Make up is made up of various chemicals, chemicals which aren't necessarily good, or sometimes, even bad to our health. These chemicals, if ingested would surely cause harmful side effects. Good for the health? I think not. That is why I don't see the good in applying 'harmful - if - ingested" chemicals to our skin.

Research has shown that these chemicals, that are supposed to be there to better the skin, enters the body and stays there for a long time. The continuous use of make up has also shown negative effects such as various skin problems. It has even gone as far as to cause skin cancer. Improper application of make up has also shown to produce infections in the eyes.

Just because you look good at the moment you have applied the make up does not mean that you will still have that natural look that you had before the application. It does not mean that just because this super star, this celebrity is advertising this high end, famous branded line of cosmetics, that we should jump unto the band wagon and poison ourselves for a moment of 'beauty'.

This is why when we see celebrities, such as _____, without make up, it do NOT look good. They end up with pale skins. Can you now see how make up has destroyed PERMANENTLY the natural beauty that they used to possess? No anti - aging cream, or skin moisturizer will be able to repair the damage that you will do if you do apply make up. Your once 'glowing skin' will be reduced to a toxic waste dump, sentenced to age and wrinkle in the ugliest manner.

If you do decide to use make up on your 'once in a lifetime' youthful skin, then go. Just be sure that you don't over do it. Be sure to take it off completely after it has served its purpose for the day. Use facial cleansers and make up removers in order to preserve your glowing skin.

Remember, youthful natural glowing skin is still better than pale make up - damaged skin.
Remeber, how to get glowing skin is much much better than how to get whiter skin.
