10 Tips For Beautiful Skin

We all want to look our best, but it's not all about make up, blowouts and stylish outfits. It's the little choices we make everyday, what we put into and onto our body, that have the biggest impact on how we look and feel.  Check out our top 10 tips for beautiful skin!


 

#10  Hydrate! Drink More Water

Water hydrates your body and skin, as well as replenishes skin cells, and improves skin elasticity. Drink eight 8-oz glasses of water a day.  A reusable water bottle is a great way to track how much water you drink throughout the day.  Consider adding a little lemon juice or berries for a burst of flavor.

#9    Eat Healthy

Eating a clean healthy diet ensures your body gets the nutrients it needs, especially antioxidants, which help fight free radicals that harm your skin cells.

#8    Sunscreen

The sun’s rays can cause harmful damage that ages skin.  By applying sunscreen daily, your skin can stay looking young and fresh.

#7    Nourish Your Skin

Nourish and replenish your skin with antioxidant-rich moisturizers.

#6    Use The Proper Cleaners And Products For Your Skin Type

Different skin types – oily vs. dry require specific cleaners and products.  Customize your skincare regimen by reading ingredients and consider consulting a skincare specialist to learn about the best options on the market today.

#5    Don’t Stress

Over-stressing can heighten skin problems such as acne and psoriasis.  Each day, try having a few minutes just for you --quiet time, yoga, meditating or other relaxation techniques. Your skin will thank you for it!

#4    Exercise

Working out improves one’s complexion by stimulating blood flow throughout the body, and relieving stress as well as releasing toxins that clog pores.

#3    Remove Make-Up At Night

Always remove make-up before retiring to bed. Residual base, powder and shadows will clog pores.  Try keeping a pack of make-up remover/cleansing wipes in your bedside table -easy access means no excuse for not removing your make-up.

#2    Don’t Give Up

Even if you may think your skin is too damaged to repair, there are advances in products and services that may help the appearance as well as minimize future damage.

#1    Love And Accept Yourself

It is important to love and accept the you you are today in order to become the you you hope to be.  Self acceptance is the most beautiful gift you can ever give yourself and looks good on everyone!
