Ever noticed how whatever is going on in our life seems to show on our face? If we're stressed, we can expect acne and dark circles under our eyes. If we're dehydrated, our skin looks dry and flaky. If we're sick, our face appears pale. Eat or drink too much and we wake up with puffy skin. But get a stretch of feeling great, exercising, eating right, and we positively glow with health.
Well, there's a reason for that. Our skin is our body's largest organ-an average of 21 square feet, to be exact. Whatever goes on in the inside shows up on the outside.
Take smoking, for instance. Studies find that smoking prematurely ages skin by disrupting your body's natural process of breaking down old skin and replacing it with fresh skin. Smoking also triples your risk of squamous cell skin cancer (not to mention numerous other cancers).
Stress can also negatively affect your face (and the rest of the body). But the opposite is also true. What you eat and how you live your life can lead to smoother, healthier skin. Overall, your best bet for your skin is also what's best for overall health: a low-fat, high-fiber diet filled with fruits, vegetables and whole grains, plenty of water, regular exercise and enough sleep every night (not just on weekends). More specifically, here's what the science shows:

For an amazing new look when using Eve Organics mineral eyeshadow, try using it wet. It's very simple to apply and adds depth and a more dramatic look.
Just follow these quick, simple steps:
1) Dip your brush under running water from your faucet
2) Dip the brush into the shadow of your choice (I usually sprinkle some of the shadow into the lid to make is easier).
OR
Get a small white ceramic tile (clean of course) and put a little shadow on the tile along with some water and swirl it around with your brush
3) Apply to your eyes using gentle, even strokes and have fun!
I love using the shadow wet. It's like getting two colors for the price of one!
In the picture above, the model is wearing Dragonfly dry (all over the lid) and wet (near the lashes). This shows how one color can have two different effects on the lid.
Tell us what your favorite combination is!

The next time you're at the store pick up some Epsom Salt. You can find it near the health/beauty or pharmacy area. For about $5 you can start reaping the benefits of this quietly kept little gem. Our family has been using it for years and have found it to be very versatile.
Have sore feet?
Take some very warm water and pour some (2 cups per gallon roughly) epsom salt along with 2-3 drops of lavender essential oil into it. Sit back and enjoy.
Child feeling under the weather?
If so, put some epsom salt in the bath and let them soak in it. You can also add a few drops of lavender essential oil as well. Epsom Salt has magnesium sulfate in it, which naturally acts as a drawing agent. So, it will work hard to rid toxins from your body. Adding lavender creates a calming and relaxing fragrance.
Have a splinter?
Try using an Epsom Salt paste and apply it to the skin. The drawing action will help bring the splinter to the surface!
Any tidbits on Epsom Salt you'd like to add? Post a comment below.
