<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
I’ve dubbed this process “The Basic 4-Step Skincare Regimen,” which I outline in this article. I also include organic skincare tips for the growing number of you who are concerned with putting only natural, organic products on your skin.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
How you care for your skin is utterly dependent on the type of skin you have: oily, normal/combination, dry, sensitive or sun- damaged.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The Basic 4-Step Skincare Regimen Step 1: Cleansing</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Simple is key here. You need to find a good cleanser that your skin responds well to, and stick with it.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Here are some tried-and-true cleansing tips:</div>
<ul style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Be careful not to cleanse too often or you risk over-cleansing skin, see signs you are over cleansing your skin. You really only need to wash your face at night to remove makeup and sunscreen, which can clog pores.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">If you have dry skin, consider cold cream like Pond’s, which the French use or make your own organic cold cream using this simple cold cream recipe. Simply apply cream, then wipe off, no water needed (if you have hard water, it can be especially harsh on skin).</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">To cleanse skin, most women prefer the water method: Use warm water to loosen dirt and clogged pores. Use a dime-sized bit of cleanser, then rinse with cool or lukewarm water.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Skin purists believe tap water is bad for your skin because it contains harsh minerals and additives like flouride and chlorine.</li>
</ul>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Make sure to remove eye makeup with a proper makeup remover. The area around the eye is delicate so don’t pull or rub too hard. You can also use olive oil as a natural eye makeup remover.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
In the morning, a splash of lukewarm water is all you need (I find it’s great for removing excess oils from your nightly moisturizing). Never wash your face with hot or cold water (both can cause broken capillaries).</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Step 2: Exfoliate</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their weekly skincare routine. But trust me, if you start properly exfoliating your skin, you will notice an almost immediate difference. According to Berg, one of the reasons men’s skin looks more youthful than women’s is because men tend to exfoliate daily when they shave.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
There are several exfoliating options that I use weekly. Here are my favorites:</div>
<ul style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">A facial scrub. You can buy a great scrub or make your own. I prefer sugar scrubs to salt ones, but it’s just a matter of preference.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">A washcloth. Put a dab of cleanser and a sprinkle of white refined sugar on a damp washcloth and massage skin in a circular motion. After a quick rinse, any sign of dead skin is erased. If you have dry skin, try extra virgin coconut oil.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Microdermabrasion. You can buy microdermabrasion kits. I have and found quite a few I like. See my list of the best facial scrubs and microdermabrasion kits.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Chemical peels. In the hour it takes to get a chemical peel, you can take a year from your face. Can’t afford the price tag for a monthly peel? Try some over-the-counter peels that work over the course of a month.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Retinoids. Retinoids (such as Retin-A or the more moisturizing Renova) also work by removing the top layer of dead skin cells while also generating collagen in the skin. “Collagen is the skin’s structural fiber,” dermatologist Dennis Gross said in <em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">O Magazine</em>. “As we get older, it breaks down, creating lines and large pores.” Skincare experts disagree on all sorts of things, but most of them consider retinoids to be a miracle skin saver. I’m addicted to Retin-A, which I pick up in Mexico on my yearly jaunts.</li>
</ul>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
<strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Should you use a toner? </strong>Some people swear by toners, but many beauty experts do not (I once read a skincare expert claim, “toners are only for copy machines”). Toners are meant to remove all remaining traces of oil, makeup and dirt, but a good cleanser should do this. I firmly believe it’s up to you. If you like the way your skin feels with a toner. Buy it. Use it. Enjoy it.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Step 3: Moisturize</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
While I know of at least one famous beauty editor who swore skin doesn’t need moisturizer, basically everyone else I’ve read disagrees and is an adamant believer in it. A basic rule of beauty is that if you have dry skin, you should invest in a basic moisturizer.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
So how much should you moisturize? Your skin will tell you. When your skin is tight, it’s crying out for moisture. Be careful not to over-moisturize — this can clog pores.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
<strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Are eye creams necessary?</strong> Well maybe. Some beauty experts strongly recommend eye creams. Why? The skin around the eye contains no fatty tissue and is therefore very thin and susceptible to wrinkles. Special eye creams are formulated to “thicken” this area. Yet other experts (including the beauty editors of Allure in their new book) claim your daily lotion works around the eyes just as well.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Step 4: Apply Sunscreen</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
The #1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage, so it’s important to use a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF from your early years on even in winter and on cloudy days. A great trick is to purchase two moisturizers: One for night and one for day that includes UV protection. Don’t use moisturizers with sunscreen at night, the ingredients are not meant to be used 27/7 and can aggravate skin. When choosing a sunscreen, make sure it contains Mexoryl (found in my favorite sunscreen La-Roche Posay) or Helioplex, found in Neutrogena products.</div>

What could be better than a seed? A seed that gives birth to a new plant and then further serves the universe.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Flax is a tiny power packed seed that is full of goodness. This seed has been used since ancient times, through ancient civilizations and cultures. Archaeological evidences suggest the use of flax seeds since the times of Nefertiti in Egypt. Usually cultivated for the naturally strong fibre, flax or “Tisi” or “Alsi” as it was known in India, was used to augment the diet of the hard working villagers.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Flax Seeds Benefits :</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
1. This seed hits the nutritional payload and is used as a medicinal supplement even today. Flax is known for its cholesterol reducing properties. Flax seeds warm the human body. The peculiarity of the seed is such that it needs to be eaten as a ground meal. If eaten as a whole, flax seed cannot be digested by the body. Flax seeds, if grounded and taken daily with water, provide the necessary amounts of fibre to keep your digestive system working well. Just keep your fluid intake high. How much you eat, depends on your reasons for eating flax seeds. On their own, the seeds are crunchy and tasty if they are toasted. However as ironic it sounds, what makes it more palatable, actually destroys the goodness. So, the local bakeries that are promoting flax seed topped bread as the best gift you can give to yourself, they are not being very truthful to you.This is the most prominent of flax seeds benefits,</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
2. The best gift that a couple of spoonfuls of ground flax seed can give you, will be the short chain omega 3 fatty acids. Whatever your area of interest, or your choice of food groups, omega 3 fatty acids spell good news. Omega 3 fatty acids are generally present in fish oil. If you are like me, and eat fish only rarely and only if it is fried, you will certainly be missing out the benefits of lower cholesterol and beautiful skin.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
3. Flax seeds are another way to get what nature gave pescatarians. They actually contain alpha lineoic acids, to be specific. This acid helps to reduce the inflammations that cause chronic heart ailments, arthritis, asthama, diabetes and it even helps guard your body against cancers-colon cancer to be more specific. Eaten in combination with walnuts and fish, flax seeds can be of real help.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
4. The high amount of fibre in ground flax seed is responsible for the cholesterol lowering effects of flax. High fibre diets help you feel full, so you tend to eat a little less, your blood sugar is stabilized and your intestines function well.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
5. Antioxidants and phytochemicals to me spell an advertisement for an anti aging cream. If all the benefits come from flax seeds at a fraction of the cost…bring it on! Flax seeds contain ligans, which work in our intestines and convert to become substances that balance out female hormones. These are proven to promote fertility, reduce the risk of breast cancer and reduce peri menopausal symptoms.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Enjoy all these benefits of flax seeds without the help of a doctor or expensive medicines and from a tiny seed. Try to locate flax seeds in the aisles of your local supermarket, or just call your roadside grocer. Gift this wonderful seed to your body today and everyday!</div>
