“Hey! I came across your blog on the RealJock site. Very interesting and insightful. I’m a bartender and your post about working hard for a dollar is soooo right on. Sometimes I will be so busy pouring drinks and someone will refuse to get out of the way until I’ve acknowledged that they gave me a dollar. This is after their 3 jaeger bombs and 4 cocktails totalling $30+. Fuckers. Hah!
“So, your pics are also great. I’m wondering what you do about your ass. lol. I mean, your skin is pretty much perfect. I have a great body and a pretty killer ass, but it’s never the clearest of skin. I wash everyday, I use sensitive soap detergent. I just can’t figure it out. So maybe you can offer some tips?
“I’m sure a blog on body grooming would fit well into your reader’s minds.
“Thanks!

C,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write to me… #1 I will definitely place a blog entry for this topic. #2 I would love to tip a hot bodied bartender with a killer ass, so come make me a drink.
This is my advice:
1) Drink lots of water. If you think you’re already drinking alot, ask yourself this question: Are you drinking enough to live or to thrive? You need 64 oz just to live. You need 128 to thrive. You need even more if you exercise (an additional 8 oz for each 30 minutes of activity), and you do, since you have a killer body and hot ass. Avoid juices and other drinks with sugar.
2) Eat clean foods. Organic is best, if you have access and can afford it. You are what you eat, and if there are chemicals in your food it will affect your body. Your skin is your largest organ, and any blemishes in it can be a symptom of toxins being released from your insides. Avoid excess sugar, salt, preservatives, and other unnecessary additives.
3) Avoid washing TOO much. Washing not enough isn’t always the problem. You can irritate and inflame your skin by messing with it too much. No matter how gentle a soap says it is, it is still soap. Use gentle cleansers and warm (not hot) water. Finish with a cold water splash. Avoid alcohols. Use natural products. Try to resist popping zits – it irritates the skin and spreads bacteria to new places on your face/body.
4) Use a moisturizer that doesn’t clog pores. AVOID MINERAL OIL AND PETROLEUM/PETROLATUM PRODUCTS AT ALL COSTS. Mineral oil does not soak into the skin, it fills up pores and just sits there. Get a product with plant oils.
5) Avoid excess sun – people say sun clears their skin. They are wrong. At first the light will dry out excess oil, but after that the skin has to overcompensate for drying out and then you get break outs. Use sunscreen and be sure to get plenty of rest.
