1. Change Routine every Morning and Night

The needs of the skin first thing of the day and last are different, so you should use different products at all times. In the morning, your face needs, mainly, protection since throughout the day you will suffer the attack of sun rays, pollution and free radicals. When you wake up, therefore, use a serum and a cream with antioxidant ingredients, together with sunscreen (in the cream or makeup, or both products better). After the day, focus your cleansing and hydration ritual on helping the nocturnal regeneration of the cells. Remove makeup and dirt from your skin with micellar water, follow with a retinol serum, and end with a moisturizer specifically created for the night.

2. Use the eye contour daily

It is one of the most delicate areas of the face because the skin is very thin and does not contain fat cells that keep it young. Therefore, the eye contour is the first area to show wrinkles or age spots and a specific cosmetic is, at 30, an indispensable product. Apply it with delicate touches in the area that remains on the cheek bone and keep some distance with the eye to avoid irritation.

3. Include the neck and neckline in the facial ritual

This is another extremely delicate area that often does not receive the necessary care, because you consider it part of the body and not an extension of your face, as it should be. The neck and neckline also need cleaning and hydration twice a day. This will keep your beauty longer because, even if they still look young, they will be the first areas of your body to reveal your age sooner than you think.

4. Understand makeup as a daily protector

In addition to a way to enhance your beauty, smooth your skin and camouflage imperfections, makeup (both the base and powders) are a way to create a protective layer against toxins, sun rays and free radicals. If you think it is better not to put on makeup at all so that your skin 'breathes', you are wrong. Whenever you leave the house, apply at least one BB Cream to prevent the consequences of the harmful agents listed.


5. Get Facials Frecuently

To fully enjoy glowing skin, it’s important to give your skin the care it needs. One facial in your lifetime isn’t enough to keep your skin happy.

Eat smart, by choosing foods that regulate the metabolism at the exact point so that you burn fat, is what the hormonal control diets propose. 
 
The hormonal control diet aims to manage the curve of insulin and glucagon, antagonistic hormones related to the level of glucose in the blood. 
 
When you eat too much or abuse carbohydrates, insulin triggers and begins a chain of unfortunate actions: muscle breaks, fat accumulates. On the other hand, when eating proteins, the antagonistic hormone, glucagon, is released, which is released when glucose levels are low and uses the accumulated fat to raise them. 
 
This diet involves three actions that you must follow during the day so that you get its benefits: 
 

1. Eat 5 times a day, every 4 hours. Three strong meals and two snacks: both fasting and binge eating, trigger these hormones, which can cause health problems such as insulin resistance, depression and obesity. 
2. The formula would feed. The ideal ratio is to eat 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat in the 3 main meals. The permitted carbohydrates are fruits and vegetables because they are slow absorbed, which prevents insulin from firing. Prohibited carbohydrates are bread, doughs and rice.  The best proteins are chicken, turkey, lean cuts of beef, fish, cheese or skim cream cheese, fresh cheese, and egg white. The fats that help are monounsaturated, vegetables such as olives, olive oil, and nuts such as almonds, nuts and peanuts. 
3. Do 30 minutes of exercise: helps glucose metabolization, thereby decreasing the amount of insulin that must be secreted, which stimulates the body to burn fat.  There is an ideal relationship that has even been tested at Harvard, and is based on the proportion of carbohydrate, protein and fat intake that lasts about 3 to 4 hours. That is, if you eat with that frequency and respect the proportion, the metabolism remains in the ideal area of ​​burning fat
