Skin do's and don'ts
Skin do's
You want to get rid of your old skin, not preserve it
Humans do the opposite of what they should.
They put moisturizers on their skin to preserve it, when they should let it exfoliate and rejuvenate.
You don't want to keep your old skin; you want it to regenerate continuously.
Dermatology, skin care, aesthetics and cosmetics all try to conserve your skin, when you're supposed to assist its natural exfoliation system by grooming it.
No wonder it deteriorates and ages the way it does.
But, all those skin problems are a thing of the past.
Just a few minutes of grooming is all it takes to give your skin a radiance and shine that cosmetics can't match.
Grooming your skin
Human grooming lets you use your nails to remove dead epidermis cells, and unfold the skin of your face and body.
The following video will get you started:

Say no to creams, lotions and moisturizers, and yes to grooming your skin
Finally, grooming helps complete the skin's deficient desquamation process.
Dead epidermis cells are designed to strip off daily.
The process is called desquamation.
But it only works partially, and you need to use your fingernails to scrape off the remaining dead skin cells on the surface of your skin.
Not burry them in moisturizers!
Coats of dead epidermis cells can be raked off easily using superficial grooming techniques.
Your skin will be rejuvenated and renewed, as it should naturally be.
Skin flakes that get loose, scurf and dandruff are all normal reactions.
You shouldn't try to keep them.
Anything you put on your skin that hampers their shedding is detrimental.
Your skin is naturally equipped with cream
Your body has more than five million sebaceous glands that act like five million tiny pots of cream.
Sebum is a natural lubricant.
It spreads over your skin whenever your nail tilts any hair shaft on your body.
Sebum is pressured out of the glands by your nails, to help you groom your skin without harming it.

Sebum is the natural moisturizer your skin wants and needs.
It locks moisture in, while keeping the lines of communication between your skin and the outside open.
The sebum in your glands has been standing almost idle for all your life.
At last, grooming your skin will release it.
Creams and moisturizers suffocate your skin
I stopped applying cream on my skin several years ago.
If my skin looks dry and I'm going out, I moisturize it with water, often using a washcloth.
Washing with soap, shampoo, cleansers, ... removes your skin's natural moisture.
So, only wash the areas that need it.
Stop applying cream before going to bed.
You think you're protecting your skin, when in fact you're mistreating it.
You don't want to preserve your old skin.
How do you want superficial flakes to cast off if they're covered with a retaining agent?
Even for scratches and contusions, it's best to let the skin heal on its own, with good ventilation.
The right way to exfoliate your skin is to groom it
All kinds of artificial methods have been invented to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin.
You'll find rasps, soaps, clays, masks, cleansers, gels, and countless treatments; from using cucumbers to lasers and dermabrasion.
Those are all useless inventions because you're already equipped with the best tools to do the job; your flat nails.
You'll get much better results using superficial grooming techniques than with any other method.
Unlike rasps and gels, your nails can feel the skin.
You can then easily discern where the skin is thicker, thinner, bumpy, or flat, painful or not; and adapt your work accordingly.
Some skin areas need more exfoliation than others, and only your nails can tell where they are.
Your skin needs sun exposure
You must distinguish between a healthy tan and sunburn.
Sunburn is damaging, and must be avoided.
But, exposing your skin to the sun is very important; it's an essential part of healthy living.
A lot has been said about the link between tanning and skin cancer, but grooming your skin eliminates the possibility of it developing.
Your skin needs the sunlight.
It nourishes and energizes you, and it's just plain fun.
Vitamin D, which your body needs, is produced in sun-exposed skin.
Learn how to sunbathe safely and intelligently, and say NO to sunscreens.
The only natural way to hydrate your skin is with water
Do you have dry skin?
Immerse yourself in water.
You should wet your entire body for several minutes every day.
You have to moisten your skin long enough for it to replenish its moisture; so towels don't do the job.
Try to limit your use of soap and shampoo as much as possible.
Only use soap on parts of your body that need it.
Avoid putting anything on your skin
Any pressure you exert on your skin can cause problems in the long run.
Clothes, jewelry, or glasses may seem normal to you, but they're pure hell for the skin underneath them.
Wearing a watch, socks, a bra, a necktie, ... will gradually create folds, pain and deformations at the places where they tighten the skin.
Your skin is your largest organ, and is designed to be in direct contact with the air and the elements.
Stay naked as much as you can.
Taking care of your skin yourself
Stop relying on others, and take control of your skincare.
Your reliance on estheticians, cosmetologists, beauty specialists, and fashion experts prevents you from truly taking responsibility for your skin.
Having other people supervise such a personal aspect of you as your skin makes you small.
Aren't you old enough to determine what's best for you?
If not, it's time for you to start educating yourself, and forming your own opinion.
Avoid spas, skin clinics, beauty salons, and dermatologists, and become your own skincare expert.
Only you know what's happening to your skin on a daily basis, and have the time to properly treat every little problem.
Your skin is your responsibility.
Take care of it yourself.
Groom your skin every day
As soon as you start grooming your skin, you'll notice how it shines, how it glows, how its complexion is warm and healthy, how people look at you, ...
Grooming your skin offers many benefits, such as pain relief and the restoration of blood and nerve transmission, but aesthetics is certainly among them.
Not only can you rid your skin of the dead cells on its surface with superficial grooming, but you can also remove any unwanted features on your body and face with pressure grooming techniques.
You should have been grooming all your life, but it's never too late to start.
Skin don'ts
Your nails are much better tools
Humans start out as beautiful children, only to become ugly adults, and monstrous elderlies.
We can all attest to the degeneration of human skin over a lifetime.
So, to try to slow down this deterioration, humans have invented all kinds of tools, compounds and techniques.
Ironically, they had the solution to their problem at the tip of their fingers.
Grooming is more effective than plastic surgery, Botulin, lasers, ...
Grooming your face gives far better results than any other technique, without cutting or damaging the skin, or injecting it with chemicals.
Using pressure grooming techniques, you can get rid of any feature or trait that bothers you, including the size and the shape of your nose.
Grooming does take longer, but you don't subject your body to surgery and post-operative stress.
Finally, grooming is natural, healthy and gives astonishing results, while surgery is neither natural nor safe, and ultimately leaves you with a patchwork of skin on your face.
Cosmetics are harmful to your skin
You don't take care of your skin by applying cosmetics; quite the opposite.
Using cosmetics is detrimental to your skin health.
Some chemical compounds penetrate deeply.
Applying them creates a barrier on your body.
They suffocate your skin, depriving it of air.
Communication with the outside world is cut off.
Grooming and cosmetics cannot coexist, because you can't groom yourself when your skin is covered in cosmetics.
Filling your skin with chemicals
People who get their skin injected with fillers, such as Botulin, are either misinformed, gullible, vain or foolish.
Probably a combination of these.
How can you play with your health by shooting artificial compounds with unknown long-term effects into your body?
Furthermore, these products work by reducing the motricity of your facial muscles, and making your face as expressionless as wood.
Yet, facial expressions are one of the most important aspects of a person's beauty.
Permanent hair removal has unfortunate consequences
Your skin needs all its hair to function normally.
You can trim it, but you shouldn't use permanent hair removal techniques.
You are a monkey, and a mammal.
Accept it!
Sebum is a natural lubricant that moisturizes your skin and hair.
Hair is essential for grooming, because every time your nail bends a hair shaft, it liberates some sebum.
No hair, no sebum.
Your nails are not toys or decorative objects
In the past, we didn't know why we had flat nails at the tips of our fingers.
They seemed useless, so people would cut them short, or decorate them.
But, now we know!
Flat nails are specialized grooming tools.
Yes, God has placed remarkable skin care tools at the tip of each of your fingers and toes.
They're not there to go unused.
You want to respect your nails, and take care of them yourself.
It's your body; you are responsible for all its aspects.
So, stop having your nails manicured or pedicured by someone else.
Stop decorating them with nail polish; you don't want to expose your skin to those chemicals when you groom it.
Keep the length of your nails within the grooming range.
No scratching or pinching your skin
It's good that you respond to any itch, tingle, irritation or pain with a manual inspection to determine the cause.
The problem is with your usual reaction; scratching your skin.
Instead, you're supposed to explore the skin with your nail to locate the exact spot of the bothersome sensation.
Then, apply pressure on that point with your nail.
Each time, you'll discover that your discomfort stems from a fold crossing that feels like a cave, a crater or a bump in your skin.
It's by opening these formations with your fingernails, to reduce their internal tension, that you'll resolve your irritation; while scratching them will only anesthetize the skin and relieve you temporarily.
You can put lots of pressure on your skin with your nails, and perform all kinds of moves to free it from the folds; but you can't scratch or pinch it.
In the case of a pimple from which you want to extract the contents, you can press on the skin from either side; but don't pinch it directly.
Respect your skin
Humans generally treat their skin in a way that is disrespectful of this remarkable tissue.
They don't seem to realize that it's a living organ, and that they need to take care of it.
Trying to beautify yourself by hiding your skin behind nice clothes, hats, cosmetics, glasses, jewelry or makeup, is ridiculous.
Stay away from destructive practices such as tattooing, piercing, permanent makeup, cosmetic injections, aesthetic or plastic surgery, ...
Get to know your skin, not just its surface, but its entire depth, by learning human grooming techniques.
Your skin is not a toy.
Your disrespect for it betrays your disrespect for yourself.
