Yes, and yes!
My skin takes a beating during the summer!!!
I walk 5-12 miles, at least four times a week. I cover up. Quite a bit, actually. I carry an umbrella for use during the afternoons, and evenings. I don a hat, without fail. I wear loose, long sleeve cotton shirts over tank or short sleeve cotton tops. I show my ankles, every so often...
I have been walking since my Cat-U days. I did not play sports in high school, or college. I wanted to stay in shape, and I enjoy the outdoors...
There was a time when I did not cover up. I just hit the pavement! Along the way, it occurred to me that I might regret it. As I hit the 40's, I began to notice age spots. Not so much on the face, as on the inside of the arms. Unbelievable!!! The skin on my face did began to turn over slower, though. The old stand by scrub of baking soda + a mild cleanser started to irritate. When my skin is at its best; believe me when I say, I go through no less than 5 - 7 steps of this, that or the other - almost daily! Hey, it is what it is! Regular readers of this blog know that a face scrub of grits + H2O and/or a mild cleanser smooths the face; mine in particular, removing some of the old skin. Still, I found myself needing something more. I have always been a huge fan of apple cider vinegar and its multiple uses. I knew instinctively that 3% hydrogen peroxide would be good, and less formidable than glycolic acid, salicylic acid or both. I spritz 1/2 to 1/2 on a moist face, quickly adding honey. My skin appears tighter, has a glow and the tone is gradually evening up. I really needed that along the jaw line...
I am happy with the results. I think you might be too. I would caution you; however, to play with the proportions. One-half and 1/2 might be irritating to some. This is what I call "real beauty in real time!"
I am having a blast wearing white! I have every intention of wearing it after Labor Day! Just keep on, mixing it up and mixing it up!
Now is the time to shop, and save!
Give; and let give, to the Rita S. Wilson Memorial Scholarship! Thaaaaank you!
