JLO maintained her modest appeal as the ladies of The Today Show gushed about her good looks. They asked her questions about her appearance and her style and she answered each one with grace and dignity. She gave most of the credit to her mom and her grandmother when asked about her flawless skin. “I have good genes, she said.” “And I wash my makeup off, apply eye cream, I don’t smoke or drink, I eat right and I dance.”
She proclaimed her beauty “secrets” with such nonchalantness it’s as if she were saying that any of us can have beautiful skin like her if we just do what she does. And she is right, our skin is a renewable organ that constantly sheds and rebuilds. Therefore, rough and bumpy skin can become smooth, and wrinkles can be reversed if we treat our bodies the way JLO treats hers.
Below are ten natural ways to do so:
Be smoke and alcohol-free: Jennifer stays far away from alcohol and cigarettes because she knows that they can cause the skin to wrinkle, ash and bruise prematurely. The toxins formulated in alcohol and cigarettes are known to cause the formation of free radicals, as well as slow down the circulation of blood, starve the body of oxygen and dehydrate the skin.
Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliating your entire body at least twice a week can aid the renewal process as well as deter cellulite, balance the skin’s PH levels and give circulation a boost. There are many ways in which to exfoliate the skin – you can exfoliate with sugar scrubs or salt scrubs as well as with a loofah or a dry skin brush.
Use natural skin care: The skin breathes in and absorbs almost everything you put on it, therefore, it is important to only feed your skin natural products that can promote health and flawlessness. Look for natural eye creams, lotions, soaps, and perfumes. Additionally, use natural alternatives to remedy skin ailments such as a natural skin tag remover and natural acne creams.
Eat healthy: No, you do not have to go vegan like Ms. Jennifer Lopez did to achieve good skin but you do have to eat healthy. The skin reacts to the diet you keep – if you consume a diet full of preservatives, sodium, sugar and fat then your body will react adversely. However, if you consume foods rich in fiber, antioxidants, live enzymes and proteins then your skin will reward you with beauty. Foods rich in goodness are known to destroy free radicals responsible for premature age and dehydrated skin.
Exercise: Working out makes you feel good and look good; not only does exercising help trim unwanted pounds and builds muscle, it makes you sweat and sweating is a form of detox that cleanses the body from harsh toxins.
Sleep: Nothing is better for the skin than continuous nights of deep REM sleep. Make an effort to get at least six hours of undisturbed slumber every night.
Manage your stress: It goes without saying that the life of a celebrity is full of stress, but you wouldn’t know it by just looking at JLO. The trick is to find healthy ways to manage your stress because being bogged down by worries and anxieties can translate to premature aging. Meditation, prayer, acceptance, and change and the four ways to manage your stress.
Dance: Jennifer has been dancing all of her life and her body and her skin has rewarded her handsomely. Like exercising, dancing makes you sweat and detox; additionally dancing makes you feel good on the inside and when you feel good internally, it manifests to the external.
Wash your makeup off: Never go to sleep with your makeup on, make it a routine to wash your face as soon as you come home from work and apply a thin layer of natural moisturizer.
Cleanse often: Cleansing with fresh green juices, lemon water, and apple cider vinegar are easy ways to help the body fight free radicals and purge it of harmful toxins. Additionally, cleansing can help you manage your weight.
The trick to achieving beautiful skin like Jennifer Lopez is repetition. Do not expect to see results right away, make these ten tips part of your lifestyle and gradually your body will reward you with flawlessness.
