Getting ready for Fitness America!!!

If you're getting ready for the Fitness America Pageant like I am, then you're probably super busy taking care of last minute details. Well, in the midst of all the craziness, the last thing we want to think about is dry skin. However, this is the most important time to start thinking about it. Pretty soon we will be tanning and applying tanning products and we want to have the best base possible.

We are 4 weeks out, so exfoliation is crucial at this point. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week after skin is cleansed with a salt based exfoliator, not sugar. Sugar tends to have pore clogging oils, so stick with a salt base. A good exfoliator is the Clinique 7 day scrub, any of the Oil of Olay or Aveeno scrubs, they're gentle and not abrasive. Follow up with a good moisturizer. Your skin should feel heavenly in no time, and ready for the Big Show!
