It's Easter Lent and it's definitely the right time for a waiver of all the vices of life. Many people give up cigarettes, alcohol, excessive sweets, excessive sleep and all other bad habits that reduce their quality of life. 40 days sounds like a long time doesn't it? Do you think that all will adhere to this time limit, will all withstand to give up the things they love and, so far, had the habit of doing or consuming?

         They say, ''One should have character'' and be able to resist the sweet temptations. When I thought about what to give up, I concluded that it is more important to get out all negativity from oneself and try to give up doing bad deeds to others and to yourself. In these 40 days we have to try to hate less, envy less, underestimate less. Oh, we all do it, we will not lie. But one thing that also came to my mind, and refers to giving up something that has a detrimental effect on health, gave me an idea what to give up for the next 7 days of my vacation. Makeup.

Recently, the famous singer Alicia Keys started the trend of wearing no makeup and she showed how beautiful natural beauty is. We know how much makeup effects the aging of the skin, closes the pores, creating impurities, especially in the case of synthetic cosmetics. In the last blog I wrote why synthetic cosmetics has a bad influance for the skin health, but also the whole organism. Somehow, lead by this idea, I used my vacation to forgo makeup.

Fresh Mediterranean air, sea salt, nature, will be part of my daily beauty routine. Interested how?

Did you know that salt draws out toxins from the body, leaving the skin soft and healthy. Therefore, baths with sea salt can improve its tone. Also, sea salt is full of vitamins and minerals that are vital for the proper nourishment of cells, while calcium helps clear clogged pores of the skin. Sea salt is ideal as a natural exfoliant of the skin because its texture helps remove the top layer of dead skin cells. Since I live by the sea, every morning I will wash my face with sea water. I'll clean my face and leave it to dry in the fresh air.

In order to ensure the regeneration of my skin, I'll use Alavi Recovery cream that gives the necessary moisture and prevents any irritation and redness to my dry skin. A day without make-up. Perfect. Before going to bed I take advantage of my grandmother's recipe for beauty. Have you ever tried to steam your face with boiled sea water? Try it! It opens the pores, removes dirt and soothes the face. Then I'll put on the Alavi night cream that will nourish and relax the skin overnight and get my beauty sleep earlier. Daily makeup? I can do without it! 7 days of healthy habits. Who wants to, can do 40! I hope I gave you a good idea! Enjoy! Kisss :*
