How to Have Soft, Beautiful Skin Even at 40

Jeanne Marie Kerns
Being 39 years old many people have told me that I look much younger, and would ask me what my secret was to having such young looking skin. Well the secret is nothing special, it is just some everyday things I have done my whole life. Hopefully someone can benefit from them.

1. Stay away from using compact powders and foundation. If you have to use it for blemishes, then only use it on the blemish. Do not use it on your entire face. All it does is close up your pours and does not allow them to breathe freely. Get rid of it!

2. No matter what you have going on during the day or at night, always and I mean always wash your face with hot water. One time when you wake up and one time before you go to bed. Once you have washed your face with hot water, always finish with cold water. This allows the pours to close up.

3. Take a shot of apple cider vinegar when you wake up. Yes the taste takes some time getting use to, but the benefits to your skin are amazing. After about one week, you will see your skin begin to look younger and tighter!

4. Take a few garlic pills everyday or every other day. Garlic is a natural cure for what ails you as well as a great skin conditioner.

5. Last but not least, if you do not do any of the other above steps you must do this. Vitamin E oil on your face every night before you go to bed. Not cream, but the oil itself. You can either buy the bottle of oil from a health store, or just cut open some vitamin E pills and use that. Remember, a little goes a very long way !

    Hmm...does apple cider vinegar works for guys? The other one I heard is a shot of lemon juice as soon as your feet hit the floor, but it's not for your skin.
