Now that our bodies are full of folic acid, fiber, and iron, it's time to tend to the organ that displays the status of our internal health; skin. If you're like me, a little grease does a lot of damage when it manages to find its way to my pores. One corny dog later and the only thing missing from my pre-pubescent appearance is a mouthful of metal. When my skin throws a temper tantrum, I don't even feel like dealing with my frizzy hair, so I look even MORE like the painfully insecure 13-year-old I once was. I'd like to stay graduated from that phase of life, and so, I bring you the most wonderful recent discovery and well-kept secret in skin care; the Emergen-C packet.
If you don't know about this miracle product, it is intended to be a drink when mixed with water. With 1,000mg of vitamin C and 32 mineral complexes, it's safe to say you won't be suffering from the common cold if you harbor a box of these during winter. However, it is what the packets are not intended for that I want to share, because your skin will glow with happiness. Use the Emergen-C packets not as a drink, but as a facial scrub, and give your skin the nutrients it needs to fight the bacteria that causes blemishes. Vitamin C also makes your skin glow and fights free radicals, but instead of having to buy expensive pure vitamin C serums, you can just peruse the pharmacy isle at your local Walgreen's...oh joy!
Directions for use:
1. Stand over your sink, because this can get a tad messy
2. Pour an entire Emergen-C packet into the palm of your hand
3. Make a paste with the powder by dropping a tiny bit of water into your palm and using your fingers to mix
4. Massage all over your face like an exfoliant
5. Leave on for a few minutes...it should tingle!
6. Wash off with warm water and look in the mirror
7. Blow yourself a kiss, you gorgeous thing, you.
