I'm a huge health nut, but I work out more for my mental health and watch what I eat because it makes a huge difference in my hair and skin and how much energy I have.
My body gets treated like royalty.
-I try work out at least three times a week (which is difficult, because my school work, friends, and family get in the way of that).
-I stretch and do a few simple excercises everyday when I wake up in the morning (jumping rope, side squats, lunges, and sit ups) because it helps me wake up and is a great energy boost.
-I eat mainly just fresh fruits and salads and drink protein shakes with basically everything (people say its a myth that junk food makes you break out and all but I have noticed a HUGE difference in my skin since I cut out junk food. I'm breaking out a lot less, my skin is less oily, I feel less tired and sluggish).
-I moisturize my entire body twice daily (smooth skin=happy skin? +when your skin is moisturized you're less likely to get wrinkles.)
-I wash my face twice a day (when you sleep with make up and products in your hair and face all of the bacteria gets into your pores while your asleep because your body temperature rises slightly when you're asleep causing your pores to open up).
-I don't eat on Sunday's but drink like 12 glasses of water and take laxatives to detoxify my body (the gym I go to is currently installing a sauna though, I'm going to replace this with the sauna once I can).
-I shower at night too instead of just in the morning (you'll wake up feeling more refreshed, and its healthier for your skin if you shower at night).
-I only shower and wash my hair with cold water (hot and warm water tends to strip your hair and skin of its natural oils and opens up your pores, leaving your skin dry and prone to acne and bacterial infections).
-I only use mineral make up because it is a lot healthier for my skin and when/if I sweat or if my skin becomes oily it won't easily sink into my pores.
-Even though I am really young I use a shower gel that prevents my body from wrinkles (I would rather prevent wrinkles now than have to try and get rid of them 20-30 years down the road).
So yeah, I am a huge health nut and am slowly becoming a gym addict.
I do a lot of these for cosmetic reasons, but I started exercising because it would help me release stress. I'm honestly not trying to lose or gain weight, and anything I mentioned that was to help with my skin care routine is because if I go even just 3 days without following my daily skin care routine my skin because dry and I will start breaking out. The only reason I have such amazing skin now is because I take really good care of it. I know all of this will really pay off when I'm older... I'll be in my late 30s and still looking like I'm in my 20s
