SKINNNNNCARE!!! IS!!!! EVERYTHING!!!
As you guys know, my number one beauty tip (besides sleep ) is sunscreen. Because, DUH!!!
And sunscreen def falls under that anti-aging category.
Anti-aging essentials for skin are a must. Besides anything that’s preventative is a win/win in my book. But there’s one other beauty tip that takes the cake…SAY NO TO STRESS.
Stress can accelerate aging by 10 years…I know, right? BOO.
Anyway, last week I talked about my love for Elizabeth Arden products because of their longtime, amazing track record. Whelp, surprise!! Their skincare products rock too…& focus on primarily on anti-aging.
Luckily, they just launched ‘Flawless Future Powered By Ceramide™‘ which helps to replenish depleted ceramides lost due to aging and stress (I hate you, stress!). This anti-aging, stress-fighting trio officially hits shelves today but, I got a sneak peak! Personally, I deal with some anxiety so stress is something I deal with on a day to day basis. My lifestyle is very go, go, go so I need all the anti-aging I can get…lemme tell ya..
Ok, so I spilled some my makeup tips a few days ago, & then this week I’m getting down dirty with a lil skin post.
I always look for products that are anti-aging. My skin essentials are simple:
♥ I need a good anti-aging skin serum ( because, duh! )
♥ An eye gel that prevents under eye wrinkles
♥ A moisturizer w/ sunscreen that contains at least SPF 30 * SPF. SPF. SPF. Can’t say that one enough.
My routine is simple and this three-step system helps me keep it that way in the shower I use a good bar of all-natural soap to scrub my face. Afterwards I add this Elizabeth Arden serum to my face & allow it to dry. Once it’s dried I add their eye gel. Then I mix this moisturizer with my foundation ( mix it with a brush ) & apply the foundation mixture to my face.
Voila!
These products work well for my busy lifestyle because they make my skin appear more energized ( AKA less stressed ) & help get rid of sun damage and dark spots.
Some other skin care tips:
♡ When applying eye gel, pat it on, don’t press it on. This will prevent wrinkles.
♡ Only exfoliate the face once a week. Opt for kinder methods the rest of the week.
♡ Pat your skin dry with a towel, as opposed to scrubbing it. Don’t forget to apply SPF on your neck & hands.
♡ Eat clean. What you eat comes out on your skin. I like healing my bod from the inside out, as opposed to the outside in.
