10 simple tips on achieving beautiful skin
As cliche is it may sound, we are all wonderfully and beautifully made. I mean with the delicate and intricate beings that we are, God must have taken his time to create this master piece He called WOMAN. I love being a woman. We have strong and powerful inner strength, courage and might driven by love and passion, intellect and intuition unfathomable by men, grace, beauty, radiance and elegance. Wow! We are incredible.
Although not a lot of us feel this way and due to different circumstances and situations, we see our selves sometimes as the opposite. But when we rise from all the facets of life that put us down and see the person we were created to be, we can not but only thank God to be a woman. The hormonal imbalances, multitasking abilities, compassion, defiance, mood swings, stubborn doggedness, feistiness are all strengths if properly channelled. Our structure and frame is another work of art and that bring me to the reason for this article.

We are beautiful yes, but we have to maintain, beautify, nurture and even enhance our beauty. We must remember, we are going to grow old and lose the elasticity in our skin. For those of us in sub Saharan countries, we are exposed to the sun quite often so it is every important to take extra care of our skin and this would definitely enhance our beauty and slow down the ageing process.

Ten Simple Tips for flawless and beautiful skin.
1. Exfoliate once a week with a body scrub. Choose wisely how coarse you want it depending on the sensitivity of your skin. Use a scrub with vitamin E and natural essential oils like lavender, jojoba grape seed etc. Home-made scrubs are good too. Use 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 6 table spoons of salt and 2 table spoons of honey, mix, put in a jar that has a lid and use on damp skin once or twice a week. This helps to simulate blood flood and activate the collagen in our skin keeping it plump and healthy looking.
2. Lemon and honey mask. Mix 2 table spoons of fresh lemon juice and two table spoons of honey in a bowl. Mix very well and use your fingers to apply the mixture on your face. Relax for about 15 minutes for it to harden and wash with warm water. The lemon in the mask clear dark spots and the honey hydrates and gives radiant clear skin. This can be used once a week. For dark circles under the eyes, place a slice of cucumber over each eye.
3. Drink a glass of warm water and juice from half a lemon or one lime every morning to detoxify the skin and system. The vitamin C in both fruits also helps to keep the skin looking radiant.
4. After every bath, apply lotion while your body is still damp since your pores are still open. This helps to make the lotion penetrate into the skin and lock in the moisture. Using essential oils such as lavender oil, after a bath in the evening can help promote good sleep and help the skin repair after a full day out and about.
5. Take supplement vitamins that boost your immune system and also give your body and skin the macro and micro nutrients that it requires. Vitamin E, Royal jelly and vitamin C are particularly good for the skin. Vitamin B complex is good for both skin and hair growth.
6. Exercise and get a good sweat on. This helps to remove impurities and toxins from under the skin and keeps it healthy and fresh.
7. Drink mineral water as often as you can and green tea. The anti-oxidants in these drinks help to expel toxins from the skin, hydrate the skin and keep you looking radiant. Avoid coffee, fizzy drinks and sugar laden fruit juices.
8. Eat properly. Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. Fruits such as grape fruit and lemons are good for clear complexion. Reduce processed and refined foods such as bread, rice, sugar, flour and lard.
9. Sleep well. Try to get at least 6 hours sleep.
10. Try to live a peaceful and stress free life. YES, TRY.
