All opinions expressed in this post are my own. Éminence Organics provided me with products to facilitate this review.
Beauty is only skin deep – or so the saying goes. Most of use know that the health of our skin is a direct reflection of how we take care of our bodies. If we eat poorly, our skin becomes malnourished, whereas if we consume clean, wholesome foods and follow a healthy lifestyle our skin in turn is nourished, healthy, and glowing. Some factors, such as age are inevitable however, we can maintain overall skin health by following easy tips for glowing skin.
1. Drink water
Aim to get at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. Dehydration causes skin to look dry, aged, and dull. Water helps flush out toxins from the body that cause inflammation and blemishes, leaving your skin fresh looking and glowing. To vary your consumption, drink non-caffeinated beverages like coconut water, or drink herbal teas.
2. Reduce refined sugar and salt intake
Too much sugar and salt in your diet has many negative impacts on your health, and consequently on your skin as well. Salt can cause some of us to retain water, which can lead to swelling, making the face look bloated. High blood sugar can weaken the skin by affecting tissues like collagen, which may leave your skin more susceptible to lines and wrinkles.
3. Eat healthy foods
Clean foods go a long way towards making skin glow. Consume wholesome, natural foods, and remember to fiber-rich foods to regulate digestion, and omega 3 rich foods, which are beneficial to your skin.
4. Exercise regularly
A regular exercise regime benefits the body, and the skin. Cardiovascular activity makes your skin glow because it stimulates blood flow, making your skin look refreshed and youthful.
5. Slather on sunscreen
We hear this time and time, and for good reason – sunscreen prevents skin damage. Look for formulas that offer broad-spectrum protection to guard against UVA rays (the ones that cause premature aging) and UVB rays (one of the main causes of skin cancer).
6. Follow an effective skincare routine
When nourishing your body from the inside out is not enough, an effective and consistent skincare routine is the next step in ensuring radiant skin. My preferred skincare line is Éminence Organics. Since discovering their products a few years ago after a visit to Idlewyld Spa in London, Ontario, I was instantly hooked. In fact, I bought an entire line of skincare on impulse – and it is still my preferred skincare line to date. I’ve teamed up with Éminence Organics for this review of their fantastic skin care products. Éminence treated me to replenishments of some my favourite products, including the Firm Skin Acai Cleanser and Firm Skin Acai Moisturizer, plus they surprised me with a bottle of their Bamboo Firming Liquid, which is now my absolute favourite product to date. After just one application your skin feels supple, smooth, firm, and as promised, youthful looking.
Éminence is a natural skin care line that uses 100% organically grown fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables, combined with pure spring water to create their nourishing and rejuvenating products, all of which are free of Parabens, Mineral Oils, Petroleum and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. The company, which was founded over 50 years ago in Budapest, Hungary, boasts an extensive line of organic products for all skin types that contain everything you need to maintain toned, refreshed, and moisturized skin.
Technical lingo aside, their products are simply amazing! In terms of usage, a little goes a long way. I was still applying the products I brought home from the spa over 5 months after purchasing them. They smell fresh and clean, and according to the aesthetician who used the products for my facial, ‘they’re so natural you could eat them from the jar.’ Their creams are smooth and silky, and permeate the skin without leaving any residue, which eliminates the need to continuously reapply the product. If you’re looking for a green, all-natural, effective product line to add to your beauty regime, I highly recommend these products.
For more info, Éminence Organics skin care can be found online at Eminenceorganics, or at select spas throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Note: Eminence Skin Care recommends buying their products directly from spas and skin care clinics so that individuals can get professional advice as to which products are best for their skin type and condition, since many unauthorized dealers and websites that sell Eminence Skin Care may contain inferior creams and lotions that were repackaged in company bottles.
How do you maintain glowing skin? Which products do you use as part of your daily skincare routine?
I use an all-natural skincare line that is aloe vera based. I read an article on Eminence last year and I found the screen caps a bit startling. I am linking it here. It is one of the reasons I decided against going with their brand. I am wondering if you have any updated info or if you’ve heard about this:
http://www.saritacoren.com/2016/06/07/why-i-will-never-buy-eminence-organics-the-truth-behind-this-controversial-brand-revealed/
I don’t have any, but I will check out the link. I’ve come to realize that the internet can be a blessing and a curse, in terms of product reviews. I do my research, take in all the facts (whether or not I know if they are verified or truthful) but at the end of the day, I continue to use a product if I feel that it works for me. It’s all very personal and subjective, don’t you think? For example, I have a few friends who swear by a very popular brand name, yet when I did research I found so much negative info about their products! It’s very confusing and frustrating to say the least.
It is very obvious that this Sarita Coren article was paid for or promoted by Ilike. I think Eminence is one of the greatest companies out there for skincare and I absolutely love their initiative for planting trees and helping children with cancer. It’s a shame that someone would discredit such a reputable company. 🙁
I absolutely agree with your tips! Especially about the water part since I find that it really helps. For the last point though, I really need to develop a skincare routine. I’lld definitely keep this brand in mind!
When I don’t drink enough water my skin really suffers!
I’m learning to take better care of my skin the older I get. It’s so important. This looks like a line worth checking out. I will have to look into it.
These are excellent beauty tips. My daughter always tells me to take better care of my skin. here in Florida sunscreen is a must!
For sure!
Looks like this is a great line of skin care. I am always trying to find a new skin regimen. Maybe I need to add this to my wish list. Love hearing how much you enjoy it. Has me wanting my own.
Numbers 2, 5 and 6 are just the hardest ones for me. I have never really had any sort of good model for how to take care of any part of my body. The older I get, the harder it is to break awful habits. I’m trying though. These look fantastic!
These are such great tips! Especially the water – I am always working to drink enough water! I am always on the lookout for great natural skin care and Eminience definitely sounds like a company I need to check out.
Water is a tough one for me, especially during the winter! I have to carry around a huge water bottle as a reminder…if I don’t, I don’t drink enough!
I have never heard of these products. Two things I need to work on is drinking more water AND spending more time exercising. I am going to have to look into these.
I haven’t heard of this brand yet, so thank you for sharing! I am trying to find a good skin care regimen and with winter, it’s not an easy time to start it with that winter induced dry skin! LOL.
My skin has been off lately, I need a better routine. I have been consuming less water and I am sure that is a big part of it. I also need new skin care products.
It seems to be a common consensus in the comments that water is a must!
I love learning about new brands! I have not heard of this one before now so thank you for that.
Your tips are EXCELLENT and all i can say is it is never too soon to begin a skin care routine!
I really need to get me a good complete line of skin care products. Though I never heard of Eminence before, it definitely looks like high quality products, that I would like to try!
I think you’d love it Jacky!
I think its a sign of a great product when a little goes along way. This sounds like a great product and if they have been around 50 years then they must be doing something right. Im sure that following all your other guidelines would great help as well.
Of course! Beauty products are also very subjective. These ones work well for me however, I believe that anyone would love them if they gave them a try!
They sound great!! All natural products is the way to go. Can’t wait to try them!!
They are! Sonia, I think you would love them!
I just started using these products! They are awesome!
Really?! Which ones are you using? I love them! I want to try EVERY single one in their product lines!
