60 splashes, gorgeous skin



I want to share with you all the best surefire way to perfect and clear skin. It doesn't involve any specific cleanser (although I love Bliss Fabulous Foaming Cleanser). It doesn't require any medication, it does not involve a scrub or a toner or moisturizer or blemish cream (although you are welcome to use any of those and it will not harm the skin at all). But, I have discovered that all you really need to do to ensure clear skin, is SPLASH your face 60 times a day with warm water.

Splashing is not something that I came up with on my own. I originally learned of the concept as one of the many steps in the Erno Lazlo skincare regimen (said to have been practiced by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis). Of course I was drawn to practice whatever regimen these glamorous and classicly beautiful women used on their skin. I used the Erno Lazlo products but didn't think much of his "30 splashes" practice. Little did I know back then, but the 30 splashes twice a day would be my key to clear and perfect skin.

Whether you believe me or not, the technique will effectively remove dirt, oils and debris as well as exfoliate dead skin cells and refresh the skin from the inside out even without using products promising to do these things. After 30 splashes I feel as if I have cleansed, exfoliated, toned and moisturized. My skin feels SO CLEAN.

I promise you, it looks clean as well. I have never had the pleasure of having "perfect" skin. It has always been a struggle and after trying everything, it was somthing I thought I would never truly have. However, ever since my 60 splashes a day (30 in the AM and 30 at night) my skin is crystal clear. I see little need to wear makeup because it glows from the hydration and is 100% blemish free. It is flawless.

Splash like so:
Do not worry about getting water all over the place.

Cup your hands under warm running water either at the sink or in the shower or bath.

Fill your cupped hands with water and briskly lift toward your face to splash.

Repeat 30x twice a day.

You will literally feel makeup, oil and debris being removed after about 20 splashes.

If you wash your face, cleanse first, rinse and then splash.

I also like to add a cold water splash at the end to seal pores and give cheeks a rosy glow.

To simplicity in skin care and forever flawless skin!
