Mushrooms are more than just good to eat. They are also good for your skin. The team at Actifirm are known as the “mushroom people” for their work with exotic mushrooms and anti-aging formulas. If you go to the spa often, chances are your esthetician has used Actifirm’s Z-Peel – a mushroom based formula that works to gently exfoliate your fragile facial skin. It doesn’t leave your face red or irritated like many traditional peels. And now you have the opportunity to experience similar results at home.

I exfoliate about once a week, and use a tinted moisturizer with spf.
During summer, I mix honey with a little bit or almond paste, leave it on for about 15 minutes and then wash it all off. all my oilies are gone, and my skin glows
Don’t overwash your face.
Baby wipes work great when you’re in a hurry and need to wipe your face quickly; most are formulated to be gentle on a baby’s skin so won’t be too harsh on your facial skin.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is the only product I will ever use for cleaning my face…..it’s wonderful!
Never leave the house with out appling Moisturizer and Spf of at least 15. Moisturizing prevents wrinkles to apear. Exfoliating removes all your dead skin cells.
In a pinch, a dab of toothpaste on a zit overnight can help in drying it out and taking away some of the redness.

~Always remove makeup before going to bed~
Drink lots and lots of water
exfoliation is key!
Apply moisturizer while your face is still damp.
My favorite tip is to extend your facial products and use them on the backs of your hands (where we really age). I always have leftovers on my fingertips…so I just rub it in and my hands look great!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I like to add a drop of vitamin e to my morning moisturizer. It’s good for the skin, helps the skin to retain moisture and helps the moisturizer go further.
Skin care tip: when applying products to your skin, move in light, counter-clockwise circles.

Exfoliate gently and always use sunscreen
Be careful and aware of what you are applying on your most precious asset – your skin.
Don’t forget to moisturize not just the front of your neck, but the back of it also.
Moisturize daily!
To dissolve blackheads, try adding a few drops of jojoba oil to your current cleanser.
Add a drop of organic jojoba oil to your moisturizers
clean your face well before bed
When you see a new pimple emerging…Dab a little tea tree oil on the spot which will kill the bacteria and it won’t get any bigger. wohhoo.
Put on lotion/cream on your face right after washing your face…that is while the skin is still wet!
Get enough rest.
My skincare tip is the first one I received: not to pick at acne. You’ll have pits later.
i use olive oil as a night moisturizer during winter
Wash your face thoroughly, make sure you dry it good, then put pure olive oil on it. Make sure you put just a light coating and do not get it in the eyes.
Wear sunscreen all the time, even if it doesn’t seem like a sunny day you can still get sunburned if you’re outside for a while.
After you are done rinsing off your facial cleanser, turn the tap water to cold and splash your face about 10 times with cold water. It really wakes up your skin up in the morning and helps depuffs your eyes.
always use sunscreen
Moisturize before applying makeup
Never go to sleep without washing off your makeup, and always wear sunscreen.
Use a dry body brush.
I started using Olay eye cream in my 20s. I’m 47 and without any sign of wrinkles around the eyes.
Drink lots of water and eat berries every day. Berries taste great and the antioxidants and fabulous for your skin.
Lots of vitamins, vegetables and fruit. Hydrate with at least 64 ounce of water a day,
I use olive oil to remove my eye makeup when I am in a pinch. It does a great job and moisturizes my eye area.
My best skin care tip is always wear sunblock! It really prevents so much damage and keeps my skin looking younger.
Sunscreen, every single day. Also, after a shower, use a very soft bristle toothbrush to brush off dead skin from your lips. Do this at least once a week.
My favorite tip is to drink lots of water and never go outside without sunscreen!!!
Make sure to wash your face after you wake up and before you go to sleep
I try to stay well hydrated.
Greetings! I think drinking a lot of water a day helps hydrate my body and skin. It always flushes out the body. Many thanks, Cindi
