Beauty Tips to Start Your Year Off Right!

Beauty Tip: Indulge in
healthy skin care regimens to bring back your fabulous glow! Ladies, if you’re
anything like me, your skin tends to get dryer and pale-looking during the
winter months. Luckily, I found a few great, natural, at-home beauty recipes that
will have your skin glowing in no time! Check them out:
1.
Get plenty of rest: Although it may
sound simple and a bit cliché, the amount of sleep that you get per night can
make or break your skin the next day- and even for the rest of your life. Be
sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep per night so you can wake up with a
brighter complexion, natural glow and feeling refreshed!
2. Let Your Stress Rest: Ok girls, I know
we all get stressed out here and there, but remember than when you’re
emotionally stressed and drained, your skin is too. With that being said, you
should always try to find ways to balance your everyday life and maintain a
healthy stress level so that it doesn’t get the best of your skin and good
looks! Try taking a weekly yoga class with your favorite instructor, taking 10
minutes to relax each night with a cup of herbal Holy Basil tea (which is great
for stress relief and anti-aging by the way), reading that book that you just
can’t seem to put down, or whatever else takes your busy mind away from your hectic
life.
3. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate: Ladies I
can’t stress the importance of how vital it is to stay hydrated. Just like your
body has to stay hydrated, well so does your skin. Remember to drink 8-10
glasses of water per day (I know this sounds like a lot but believe me, it’s
well worth it) so you can stay hydrated, healthy, youthful-looking and glowing!
4. Move It: Exercise is one of the best
natural, complexion boosters that you can find- so get moving! Even if you
can’t commit to a full-fledged two-hour workout cycle, at least try to stick to
a 30-40 minute fast-paced walk four to five times a week to keep your natural
tone glowing flawlessly!
5. Eat Right: Ladies, one of
the biggest factors that can take harsh tolls on your skin is your diet and
nutrition. Studies show that diet has a profound effect on how your skin looks. A
diet full of refined flour, sugar and processed foods is a major culprit in
uneven tone, breakouts and general lack of brightness. Giving your skin the nutrients
it needs will help you get your glow back. Try avoiding junk foods,
pre-packaged foods and unhealthy snacks, and instead try sticking to leafy
greens, fresh fruits, colorful vegetables and whole grains.
6. Exfoliate Your Skin: When is the last
time that you exfoliated your skin? Hopefully recently! Ladies, because our
skin builds up with millions of bacteria, impurities, toxins and who knows what
else, it’s really important to exfoliate your skin on a regular basis. Keep in
mind that this doesn’t have to be your everyday routine, but at least 3-4 times
a week. By exfoliating your skin, you’re removing bacteria, unclogging your
pores, and protecting your skin from free radicals that love to get trapped
inside. Treat your skin to a natural exfoliation and watch your glow magically
return!
7. Go All Natural: Girls, I know
there’s tons of beauty products out on the market and that sometimes it gets
hard for us to decide which brand to choose from. But here’s the deal, unless
you want to mask your skin with harsh chemicals you should consider using
natural, organic products. And even try using vegan-based skin care brands if
you can. These natural, holistic
alternatives will definitely benefit your skin and also help you to avoid
further damage in the long run.

favorite natural beauty products that always gives me a flawless polish and
goddess-glow!
Mineral Fusion
Mineral Fusion Bronzer Duo
I absolutely love Mineral Fusion Cosmetics! It’s only been a
couple of months since I started using their products and I must say, it’s already
one of my favorite beauty brands. Not only is Mineral Fusion a natural,
mineral-based line, but their products are also targeted for girls like me who
have sensitive skin. And even better- with Mineral Fusion you get the best of
both worlds- A mineral-based cosmetics brand where beauty and skin care become
one. (Doesn’t that sound just lovely?)
