5 tips to Glowing Skin

I suffered with hormonal and general acne when I turned 32. At the same time, I had been fighting to figure out a way to keep my skin hydrated without the astronomical Visa charge.

.

After seeing a day time segment on GMA, I was introduced to No.7. Finally, I thought something that would help with hydration, signs of aging, acne and would be gentle on my sensitive skin! The set cost me about $70usd every few months, not to mention my skin still felt very dry and the pimples seemed to be getting worse.

I began to research and search for a remedy. What could I buy to make this all go away? Eventually, I came up with a regimen that not only hydrated my skin, removed dark spots from acne scars, regulated my hormones and gave my collagen a boost.

• However, what I am about to share with you worked for me and has worked for countless of others using the Vilót Skin Face Balm. First, I treated myself inside out. You must drink your weight in ounces daily! 8 cups of water just aren’t enough. It’s the MINIMUM! I.e. I weight 130lb. I *try* to drink 130 ounces of water daily. Also, stop the soda, chocolate and greasy foods. They don’t help you achieve your million dollar face. What you put in your body is what you will get.

Second, I added a gentle cleanser to my regimen. I used to buy a facial cleanser that cost me $100. It was French called Yonka Paris and I lived by it. Smelled amazing, however, as my mother likes to say, “I’m not built like that.” Meaning, I don’t have Mariah Carey’s bank account so I had to improvise. What did it do? I went to Walmart and bought Neutrogena! Got a scrub and a daily cleaner. 

Third, I read that Evening Primrose oil taken in capsules helps balance hormones. Due to the fact that my pimples were read swollen and irritated when active and then bruised when they went down, I learned that this meant my hormones were completely out of whack. This happens often to women, sometimes its due to pregnancy, age, breastfeeding and the change in your monthly cycle. I did my research and figure out which dosage of EPO was safe and good for me to take.

Four, I used an Activated Charcoal Mask with Aloe Gel. The mask helps purge the impurities and detoxify your skin. It pulls the impurities forward which then leads to clearer skin. I applied the mask for 20 minutes, once a week. Then nightly, I took an Aloe leaf (purchased at the grocery store), sliced a 2in piece from it, then sliced that in half and rubbed it on my skin. Left the mask on overnight and washed it off it the morning.

Lastly, because I couldn’t find anything that match MY SKIN and gave me the benefits I wanted, I created it! It’s called Vilót Skin Face Balm. I began using that as my daily moisturizer. Once my skin got better, I stopped the aloe nightly masks (because they taste funny) and used the Face balm at night too. On both my face and my lips. My skin started to see a WORLD of difference.

I’ll be honest, at first, I thought I was being bias. I wanted it to work so I thought my mind was subconsciously making everything better. However, I started to give it to friends and family and they started to swear by it too.  Still a skeptic I thought, they are just being nice. It was when I started to see repeat orders, video testimonials and photos from my users that I knew I had something worth sharing.

In short, when caring for your skin, whether it be for regular maintenance, to boost your collagen, to hydrate your skin, to eliminate dark spots or to get rid of hormonal acne. You MUST start from the inside out. Be sure to follow the steps and be consistent or IT WON’T WORK.

P.s. If you have sensitive skin and are afraid of oil or oil-based products you are preaching to the choir. Every ingredient and step that I have suggested is completely natural, organic, chemical free & cruelty fee. Everything has been grown in the dirt so as far as I’m concerned don’t be afraid give it a shot. You’ll be amazed at your youthful, clear skin. In summary, follow the steps below!

TIPS to Clearer, Hydrated, more Youthful SKIN

1. Drink your weight in ounces of water, i.e. if you weight 150 drink 150 ounces
2. Get a gentle cleanser, Neutrogena is my go-to. It’s inexpensive and sensitive on skin. For more extreme cases, PanOxyl is recommended.
3. (if hormonal acne is present, if not skip to 4) Begin taking evening primrose oil to balance your hormones.
4. Use an activated charcoal mask once a week & Buy an organic aloe leaf and rub the gel on your face before bed nightly. Rinse in the AM.
5. Moisturize with Vilót Face Balm. The balm Eliminates/minimizes Dark spots, Collagen Boost, Hydrates Skin, Gives Glowing and Radiant results. It creates a protective barrier to naturally shield your skin from harsh weather, free radicals, pollutants, and chemicals. It’s also safe to use for the most sensitive skin.
