Skin Tip: Glow on the Go!

Happy Friday everyone!

Looking for inspiration to keep up your exercise routine?  A brief walk or run increases your blood flow which helps nourish skin cells and gives you a nice glow.  As always though, consult your primary physician to make sure you are cleared to work out.

Enjoy the weekend!

Skin Tip: Using Exfoliating Serums!

If you suffer from rough patches on your skin, incorporating an exfoliating serum a couple times a week into your routine can help improve your skin’s texture.  Look for ones that have AHA’s and/or BHA’s which can provide a smoother and more radiant appearance.

Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Skin Tip: 'Tech Neck' 411!

Happy Friday readers!

If you need a reason to put down your smart phones or devices, keep this in mind.  Spending long periods of time looking down at your phone or tablet can increase skin laxity and encourage lines to form around your neck, resulting in a premature aged appearance.

Have a great weekend!

Skin Tip: Avoid Winter Hands!

Happy Friday readers!

Harsh winter weather coupled with frequent hand washing can leave your hands feeling extremely dry or chapped.  Using a hand cream with occlusive ingredients like shea or cocoa butter can help as well as using gloves when you’re outside.  Reapply frequently to replenish lost moisture.

Have a great weekend!

Skin Tip: Glow From the Inside Out!

Happy Friday everyone!

Eating foods like salmon, tuna,  walnuts, flax and pumpkin seeds  that are rich in  omega-3 can help combat dry skin from the inside out.  So, if topical treatments aren’t enough, take a look at your diet and see if you are incorporating enough Essential Fatty Acids.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!  Sephora VIB weekend is here for me and well, you know I’ll be doing some shopping. Nothing too crazy though.  😉

Skin Tip: Cleansing Agents to Avoid!

It’s Friday and the weekend is upon us yet again in a flash. Time seems to be zooming by right?

I hear many people tell me they use soap to cleanse their face and complain about their face being very dry.  I highly advise people to use a soap-free cleanser because soap tends to have a higher pH level and can disrupt our skin’s protective barrier.  Especially during cooler temperatures, our skin needs that protective barrier and if disrupted, it can lead to redness, sensitivity and dryness.

Enjoy the weekend readers!
