DAY 24

“Water is the only drink for a wise man” ― Henry David Thoreau

Okay grab your lemon/lime water and let’s get down to business.  

Day 24 Wellness Action: Make Your Skin Glow

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and it plays a huge role in elimination of waste and detoxification. This means that creating a home beauty regimen is about so much more than looking good, it can help you feel good and maintain great health for a long time. A great home beauty regimen can be as simple as making sure you wash your face twice a day or body brushing.

Washing your face is very important because it is one of the more exposed parts of your body and it has four potential entryways for germs. Cleaning the areas around your ears, eyes, nose, and mouth can help you wash away any potentially harmful germs. Body brushing can also help you help your skin do its job better.

Brushing your skin first thing in the morning before you shower is a great way to start the day. Brushing helps get rid of the dead skin cells that you shed daily while improving circulation to your skin to give you a youthful glow.
