In college, I was the adolescent the was so set on making sure that I wore plenty of makeup when going out to places and making sure that I had fabulous extensions to make me look my best. To me, that was the basis of beauty. But as I got older, I began to realize that extensions and layers of makeup don’t mean a thing if I’m not taking care of my health. Beauty comes from the inside – literally and figuratively.
Everyone knows that artists cannot do their best work if they don’t have a great canvas. With makeup artists, their canvas is the face. In order for you to apply flawless makeup, or for anyone else to do so, you need to have healthy skin in order to set well. In the months leading up to my wedding, I made sure that my body was well taken care of and that involved taking Glow by Nature Made.
Glow by Nature Made® was a healthy choice that I personally made seeking to improve the quality of my hair, skin, and nails. And I have to admit, that I felt good while doing it. Taking the vitamins combined with eating healthy, staying fit, putting the right products on my skin and everything else in between made my wedding day beauty process a breeze.
My makeup artist indicated to me that I helped her in her makeup application by having healthy and well hydrated skin. And she said this before she put the moisturizer on. Yes! I’m telling you the truth. Most makeup artists tell you not to put on your own moisturizer because they will apply the right about with the amount of hydration that your skin looks like it needs. And because my skin was healthy from the inside out, I didn’t need a lot of moisturizer.
Even my hair stylist talked about the great quality of my hair. She told me about how well my hair reacted to heat without the high setting on, and how smooth my hair felt.
Taking Glow by Nature Made® changed how I looked at myself and the idea of beauty. Every morning when I go to work, I don’t get up in enough time to apply makeup. So everyday before taking Glow, I would feel extremely self-conscious about what I looked like. I felt my dry skin getting oily as it created oil for my dried out face. I felt shiny and told myself that there was nothing to do but just accept the circumstance.
Yes – if your face gets oily, it is not because you have oily skin. It could be because you have dry skin and your facial skin is producing its own oil to compensate for the lack of moisture. I had to learn that from makeup artists and my dermatologist.
Glow by Nature Made® focuses on moisturizing your skin from the inside out. My entire body feels moisturized even after a hot shower. (I still lotion though…don’t think that you can just forgo that step).
My nails often peel and crack, but with these vitamins, I’ve been growing stronger nails. My hair even feels smoother and looks healthier. The shine radiates and I feel more confident wearing my natural hair rather than covering it up with extensions throughout the entire year.
