Skin Is Our Protector

As we shower or bathe, we scrub, wash, lather and soak our bodies to cleanse ourselves. We use shampoos, conditioners, body washes and body scrubs to help us get clean. However, many of us forget the most important part of our bodies. The part that is exposed to smoke, pollution, car fumes, dirt, dust and many other toxins the most on a daily basis. This part of the body is the most sensitive yet protects us against many things. It is the part that can either make us or break us by showing all types of emotions like anger, frustration, happiness and relaxed. We fall in love with someone else due to this body part and it is one of the most essential parts of us.

Which part of the body could this be, you ask? The face is the most precious part of the body that we tend to be self-conscious about; whether it is that one pimple that appears when you are about to go on a date or that dark spot that you did not notice until yesterday. Any impurities that we may come across can make us feel self-conscious.

To take better care of our skin, it is vital to pay attention to it. Our skin produces new skin cells every night and therefore cleansing it on a daily basis is crucial. The same way that you would brush your teeth, you should be cleansing your face. In addition to a cleanser, you will need to use a toner and a moisturizer. A toner is used to balance the pH levels in the skin to prep it for moisturizers. A moisturizer is always needed; even if you have oily skin. Finding the moisturizer that is right for you is necessary. Having a skin care regimen is the answer to having flawless skin. Drinking water is also a big part of helping your skin be the beautiful, plumped skin that it can be.

To achieve the great skin that you want and deserve, it is sometimes best to get the opinion of a specialist. Usually in department stores, your favorite makeup counter, or some drug stores, they will have professionals that can assist you in determining what skin type you have and any impurities that you may have. Stay hydrated and stay beautiful inside and out.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
