How to get Soft and Smooth Skin


I always want to share with you my personal experience and my favorite products for your skin. You don’t need to spend so much money at a spa to get soft skin. All you need is a few inexpensive items that you can get from your local Target, or Walmart store, to do your own skin beauty treatment at home.

Here are few tips to help you have smooth and soft skin and you will feel like a Queen.

Step 1 Watch the temperature

Too hot water can drastically dry out your skin. Take a warm shower and use a mild, unscented, moisturizing body cleanser, such an Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash ($6.99) or Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash ($7.99). Yes, we love hot showers, too… but seriously ladies it’d be better for your skin to get used to warm water.

Step 2 Exfoliate

You slough off some dead skin cells with your usual cleanser and a sponge or loofah, but if ashy skin is a big problem, try an exfoliating products such as Soft-soap Body Butter Coconut Scrub ($3.50), Amazon Forest Mango Body Scrub ($9.99). If you have sensitive skin, choose one that contains soft, synthetic beads instead (look for polyethylene beads in the ingredient list). Try to keep scrub-downs to no more than twice a week, more often can irritate your skin. When you are not exfoliating, use only moisturizing soap to keep your skin moisturized and hydrated.

Step 3 Moisturize.

Try to drink plenty of water. Also try water with a lemon, could be different taste, but extra vitamin C for you body. Healthy hydrated skin start from the inside out.

Drink 6 or 8 glasses of water each day for dewy fresh skin.

Also every time you wash your hands, or even wash the dishes, be sure to use lotion to keep your hands moisturized to prevent drying( my favorite is Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream-$6.99) There is few more products you can like: Cetaphil ($13.99), Shea Butter( $7.99), Eucerin Calming Cream ($8.29)

This time of year you have to give extra care for you feet, by applying heavy peppermint foot cream before bedtime, and then cover them with cotton socks. You will wake with the softest feet you’ve had in a long time. You can also try on your hands.

I hope you will like my advices and if you have your own ideas you can always share with me if you want. Happy fall and winter days for everybody.
