bitter. Boil the water and put it aside
for 10 minutes before making the tea.

Avoid all fried foods!
I’m not
kidding, I’m sorry if you have
craving, but this will instantly give
you breakouts! Your skin is very much
a sign of the overall balance in your
body. If you fill it with fries, chips and
flaws and spots in the face, but by
doing this your skin gets even more
spots and it becomes an evil circle.
Have the confidence to try this out
yourself and know that it is completely
normal to break out more when you
first start this process because the skin
is adapting.

Cosmetic acupuncture and
reflexology:
After I turned 30
I decided to have facial rejuvenation
acupuncture every second month in
order to preserve and enhance muscle
tone and reduce fine lines. It keeps my
blood and lymph circulating freely to
my face, which results in more oxygen
and nutrients to nourish the skin and
less of a build-up of
toxins. I also receive a
weekly reflexology foot
massage to balance my
whole body.

Facial care:
Every morning I
cleanse my face in the shower with
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel. It
is sensitive enough for most skin types
and leaves my skin feeling clean but
not dry. Afterwards I spray my face
with a toner.
I finish off my skin routine with
Shiseido for MEN moisturizing
emulsion! This thin gel absorbs into
my face instantly and keeps my skin
hydrated but not greasy, just the way
I like it.
Once a week I scrub my face gently
to remove all the dead skin cells and
stimulate blood flow in order to renew
the skin.

Last but not least, avoid
stress
. Everyone knows that
stress causes skin issues to flare up.
Stress triggers the hormone cortisol,
which has the capacity to throw other
hormones out of balance and cause
a breakout. I meditate every day to
keep my stress levels down. I also
have regular wellness chiropractic
treatments of my upper
neck and back, in order
to relax my nervous
system and remove
any tension I might
have built up. This is
my absolute favourite
way to let my body
relax and I can see the
results!
With these 7 simple
beauty secrets you too
can have beautiful
glowing skin. So

bad effect on your skin. Have you ever
noticed how you get more spots after
a night out on the town? The body is

the toxins you have put in it.

I have a rule of never using
foundation or powder
for work, because it clogs
my pores
. Your skin needs
to breathe, especially living in
a humid climate like Hong
Kong. When you plaster your
face with makeup, you create
unnecessary impurities. I know
this one is hard for most women,
but try and test it. Give your
skin a couple of
months to clean out
all the make-up
and you will
have natural
beautiful
glowing skin in no
time. Most people
