how can i get my body to glow like the models body's do in pictures?

Question

my body look good for having 3 kids, but sense i had my children, my body's shine kinda went out. my skin looks so pale and dry looking. i tried alot of lotion, but all lotion does is get rid of dry skin which is a good thing and it helped my skin with the dry part, but the shimmer glow wont come back. my nails are flimsey and i cant let them grow long because they will tear right off. is there anybody out there that is going through the same thing sense they had babies. my husband and i are going on a trip to the bahamas and i dont want to look like a big clump of dried sand.

Answer 1

you should start taking pills for hair nails and skin. They sell them at the drugstrore Biotin.. they also sell this other vitamin supplement for hair thats by PHYTO. For your skin have you ever tried that Jergens skin lotion that is a self tanner as well but it does it really really gradual. I used it and my skin never looked better p.s those models are all airbrushed and they all have tons of makeup on.. the fact that our culture embraces that image that we can never achieve is upsetting.

Answer 2

It sounds like you may be low on vitamins. Try taking vitamins. Make sure you stay hydrated. Water works miracles. I use a loofah in the shower and use bodywash. It's important that you don't use the cheap stuff, because that can do more harm than good. Make sure that you scrub, scrub, scrub in the shower. Lotion needs to be put on every single time you step out of the shower, bath, sun, or when you come in from something like say a bike ride. You'll notice that alot of lotions advertise the "glowing effect". I've used several that have glitter or shimmers and they don't really moisturize. I would try out several different lotions. Also, after lotion, you can spritz on some mineral water and that can give an immediate "glowing effect".

The majority of a person's "glow" merely comes from high self esteem. As far as how to look like magazine models... it's called airbrush photo editing. Even the prettiest of the prettiest get their pictures edited.

Make sure you're consuming more than enough water and getting proper exercise. Those two things alone makes a drastic difference in the way a person looks.

since we recently moved to florida and the weather is much different than hawaii. my skin has dried out so much, i have to constantly lotion myself....daily. i would suggest using something with cocoa butter or shea butter. have you tried the lotions with shimmer accents in the lotion? if not, try some of that. just continue to use the lotion daily, even if you have to put on more every hour. right now i'm currently using suave skin therapy, cocoa butter with shea butter. it has been working great for me. another thing you could use is vitamin e oil. that always moisturized my body the best and it lasted pretty much throughout the day.

Answer 5

For your nails you could try massaging the nail and nailbed with any kind of oil..cooking oil..olive oil. I do this everyday it only takes a minute and my nails grow fast and are very strong!
