The next and last step in your twice daily routine is your moisturizer. There are several misconceptions about moisturizers out there. As a skin care professional, I have heard many people claim that moisturizer clogs their face up and makes them break out. They also claim that it makes their skin too oily. The truth is, a person with overly oily skin should always use a good moisturizer. Reason being, when your skin is too dry, it causes your body to over produce oil to compensate. This causes a vicious cycle that is hard to break. |

In Part 1, I talked about my good genes, now let's talk about the steps I take with my skin care routine to stay youthful. First of all, I began a regular skincare regimen at age 18. I was in cosmetology school, and we learned how to do these anti-aging nonsurgical facelift facials. I was amazed at the difference they made on fine lines and wrinkles!
They also kept up that appearance if the guest continued to come back and get the services on a regular basis. I wanted to get them so bad, but my instructors refused. They told me over and over again how I was too young, these were only meant for people over the age of 35. My opinion? If I start before I have any wrinkles, I will never have any. Makes sense right? So I combed through the pages of skincare chapters in my book and began doing research on as many different skincare lines as I could. It has recently come to my attention that I look extremely young. I am almost 32, recently remarried, and expecting my third child within a month. People are always asking if this is my first, I explain this is my third child and when asked the ages of my other two, 12 and 14, I always get the same response. “You’re kidding! How old are you? Were you 12 when you had your first?” Yes, I was young with my first, 17, but I continue to get carded when I attempt to purchase anything with an age limit.
