HOW TO GET CLEAR SKIN FOR FITNESS GIRLS:

  1. STAY HYDRATED!!!! Drink enough water so that when you pee it’s light yellow or clear. 
  2. Strawberries, citruses, red peppers, broccoli = Vitamin C = smooth texture
  3. Sunflower seeds and almonds = Vitamin E = sun protection 
  4. Sweet potatoes and spinach = Vitamin A = fresh complexion 
  5. Stay away from sugary treats! They age you! 
  6. TRY NOT TO WEAR FACE MAKEUP when you work out as it can clog your pores. I wear makeup when I go to the gym, but just eye makeup. 
  7. WASH YOUR FACE AFTER EVERY WORKOUT IMMEDIATELY! This is a must!
  8. EXFOLIATE. I use Organic Mineral Peel about 3x a week.

Be sure to enter the contest to win a bottle of my fave peel by entering a comment on YouTube (like vid, then tell me a beauty secret) or by tweeting me @Blogilates using #glowfromtheinside and tell me why you love working out! Deets here. I’m giving a bottle every day for the next 14 days (Oct 4-17) in celebration of 100 vids on YouTube!!! Woohoo!!!

Love you guys!!!!

  • Cup or small bowl
  • 1/2 tsp. carrot juice
  • Pinch of baking soda

Brightening Facial Mask

Enrich and beatify your skin with honey, yogurt,and papaya.  Well, this is a great recipe to feed your skin the beauty it needs.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unripe papaya, diced
1 teaspoon plain yogurt
1 teaspoon raw honey

Tools:
1 large glass or ceramic bowl
1 bath towel
1 small spray bottle

1. You will need ½ cup of unripe, diced papaya. This contains natural alpha-hydroxy acids and high levels of
papain, an enzyme that helps dissolve dead skin cells.

2. 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt. The yogurt adds lactic acid (another alpha-hydroxy) and gives the mask a creamy texture.

3. 1 teaspoon of raw honey helps the skin to retain moisture.

4. Blend the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Apply to clean skin using fingers; leave on for 8 to 10 minutes. When left on, the mask should tingle slightly. If you have sensitive skin or prefer a gentler exfoliation, use ripe papaya, which has less papain. Rinse off using cool water and pat dry. Finish by applying a gentle moisturizer.

Homemade Biore Clear Pore Strips

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
juice from 1/2 of a lemon
2 tsp. of glycerin

Place all the ingredients, except the glycerin, into a saucepan. Heat over medium/high heat until it reaches 240 degrees F. It will not work if it doesn’t reach 240 Degrees F. The “wax” will turn an amber color.

Pour it into a small wide mouth jar, add 2 tsp. of glycerin, and stir well. After it cools to about 115 degrees F., apply a thin layer to the area you want with a stiff spatula or other utensil. Then, place a clean washcloth evenly over the area and press firmly. Let the “wax” cool even more before you pull the washcloth off. Finally, pull the washcloth off in a quick even manner, just like you would a Biore strip.

Hair Treatments- For Residue-Ridden Hair

Nothing eats through product buildup like baking soda. Sodium bicarbonate essentially breaks down anything acidic.

To Use: Mix 1 to 2 Tbsp baking soda with small amounts of water until a thick paste forms. Massage into damp hair and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with water, then shampoo hair. Treatment can be applied every two weeks.
