Beauty Tips for Every Woman and Man

1. Eat better. Eat foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fats—like berries, avocados, and fish. Steer clear of foods that are heavy with simple carbohydrates, sugars, starches, and salt. Drink water, cut slices of any citrus fruit and let them soak, this will be an infused peace of freshness during your day.
2. If applying makeup, do it in good lighting (preferably natural lighting). Wear a shade of foundation that matches your natural skin color exactly. You don’t want to look like you’re wearing a mask.
   
3. But remember, even a sunscreen or tinted moisturizer needs to be removed before bed, with a make-up remover before your cleansing regimen.
   
4. Commit to a skincare regimen. Determine what type of skin you have and follow a regimen for which it is suited.
5. Protect your skin with an SPF. An SPF of 15, using a physical and chemical sunscreen will give you the benefit of both UVA and UVB protection from the sun and against the environmental chemicals for day to day.  If you will be in the sun more than to and from the car, protect yourself with an SPF of 30 or above, and also schedule your first skin cancer screening as soon as possible.
6. Put down the remote and get moving. Zoning out in front of the couch isn’t going to destroy your skin, but engaging in activity will get your blood circulating—and that always brings out the best in your skin.
7. Lessen your caffeine intake. Most of us couldn’t make it through the day without a cup of coffee, and we’d be hypocrites if we told you to stop drinking it cold turkey. However, if you gradually cut back your intake of coffee you will notice an improvement in your skin. Even better: switch to caffeinated teas, such as green teas, which are rich in antioxidants and help fight free radicals in your skin.
8. If you can’t get enough sleep at night, try power napping. Twenty minutes of napping or resting after you get off work will re-energize you completely for your evening activities. Even if you aren’t sleeping, at least your body is at rest. Make quiet-time mandatory.
9. Schedule a spa day, even if it’s one you do at home. Taking time out to get in tune with your body and spend time on a beautifying routine is relaxing. Pedicures, facials, manicures, hair restorative treatments—whether you do them at a salon or at home—all have a rejuvenating effect on the body.
10. Share yourself; letting someone who you can trust into your life and sharing your life with them is essential to being a healthy person.  We all need to share ourselves and have others share with us!
    

No one can deny the self confidence booster, the power that exudes from us when our skin is looking and feeling good!  A canvas for beautiful makeup or a reason to toss out the make-up that you no longer are enslaved to!
