It takes more than AVON Beauty Products for beautiful skin

But, if you know me personally, then you also know that I care about my customers. Once you've joined my family of AVON customers, your in my personal space...meaning I want to help you to look your best as much as I can. You deserve more than just looking better; you deserve to feel better too.

I just finished participating in the last weekend of bridal makeovers for the Free Wedding Mission at Celebration Church (http://www.freeweddings.org). It's been a wonderful journey this year, helping brides to look beautiful on their special day. All told, I completed roughly 30 makeovers this year and attended many of those weddings. I hope that God blesses each and everyone of those marriages and that each couple finds themselves more & more in love as the years pass.

There are just a few things I'd like to mention regarding skin care that was driven home to me when doing so many makeovers at one time. I cannot stress enough that these things be considered when undertaking the care of your skin.

The skin is the largest organ of your body. It's an intriguing part of your body when you think about the number of functions it performs, but I won't get into that here.

#1. You are never too young or old to start taking better care of your skin.

#2. You should never be too busy to take care of your skin. Make time. It's important.

#3. Get plenty of sleep. The first place you start to see the effects of not getting enough rest is around your eye area. The eye area is more delicate skin and has less pores to absorb moisture. Eye creams are made specific for this area. If you were painting a room, you wouldn't just paint half of a wall, right?

Not getting enough rest has been linked to lots of different things nowadays, including not being able to achieve weight loss.

#4. Stay hydrated. You'd be surprised at how many people do not drink water.If you do have wrinkles and fine lines, and most of us do, staying hydrated definitely decreases their appearance. While many products contain water, it is NOT the same as drinking water. Caffeine dehydrates your body so if you drink a lot of it, you better double your water intake.

Doing the makeovers all at once like that, seeing mothers living on caffeine and little sleep, I had lots of under eye circles to hide and was definitely able to pick out the ladies who did not drink enough water, just by looking closely at their skin.

#5. Smoking. This definitely makes my top 5 for aging skin. There's more to add to the list, but we can tackle those later. This one definitely makes the top 5 skin aging factors, though.
