Skin Tip For This Labor Day Weekend!

It’s Friday and it brings Labor Day weekend with it! Yay! Any fun plans?

Speaking of Labor Day, if you’re planning on firing up the grill this weekend keep this tip in mind.  If you happened to get sunburned, the heat generated from the grill can further aggravate an already irritated complexion.  Keep some aloe vera gel (and maybe some ibuprofen) handy if this is the case.

Have a great and safe weekend and don’t forget to catch me on Stephanie’s Beauty Corner on Saturday courtesy of the Peachy Queen Blog! Check out some of the latest fall fashion and accessories while you’re at it too! 🙂

Skin Tip: Sun Sensitivity and Medication!

Happy Friday everyone!

If you noticed that lately you’re more prone to getting sunburned all of a sudden, certain medications may be the culprit.  Antibiotics, anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and antihistamines like Benadryl can cause you to be more sensitive to the sun.  Always use sunscreen and wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses to further protect you from the sun.

Have a great weekend and make sure to stay hydrated and protected.

Skin Tip: Exercise and Your Skin!

It’s Friday and I’m back with my weekly tips!

Since I’ve upped my exercise routine the last two weeks I was reminded of how important this tip is.  Applying  a light-weight moisturizer helps prevent that uncomfortable and tight feeling on your skin since exercising makes your skin lose moisture.  And of course, if you’re exercising outside, don’t forget your sunscreen.

Have a great and safe weekend everyone!

Skin Tip: Eye Cream 411!

Happy Friday everyone!  Can’t believe another week has flown by!

It’s that time again for my Friday skin tip. 🙂

If you find that applying eye cream directly under your eyes causes irritation, try applying it on top of your cheekbone (zygomatic bone) with your ring finger at night.  The eye cream will slowly migrate upwards throughout the night.

 

Stay safe and hydrated this weekend!

Skin Tip: How to Layer Skincare Products!

Happy Friday everyone!

Can you believe I had a post every single day this week?  I’m trying to squeeze as much as I can given my Summer Must Have series is taking up the majority of this month.  I do hope you’re enjoying that so far. 🙂

On to my skin tip.

When layering skincare products the rule of thumb is to apply water to cream.  For example, after cleansing you would apply your toner, followed by serums and lastly, your moisturizer.  In the daytime, your moisturizer would go underneath sunscreen.

Thank you so much for tuning in this week!

Stay hydrated, cool and protected this weekend,

Skin Tip: Dry Brushing for Cellulite!

With swimsuit and short season here, reduce the appearance of cellulite with dry brushing.  A form of exfoliation, dry brushing helps remove toxins and allows lymph fluid to move into the lymph nodes, thus eliminating waste.

How to use: gently brush legs with long, upward strokes.

Have a great weekend everyone and be on the lookout for a bonus post featuring July’s Birchbox unboxing and first impressions on Monday!

Skin Tip: How to Combat Bacne!

Happy Friday!

Make sure you extend your exfoliating routine to your body too!  Exfoliating your back and spot treating it with a clay mask can help combat the on-going struggle with acne on your back, otherwise known as bacne.

Happy Fourth of July to all and may you have a blessed weekend!  Stay cool, hydrated and protected!

Skin Tip: Delay Premature Crow's Feet!

Happy Friday everyone!

Wearing UV protection sunglasses not only keeps your eyes protected from sun damage but can also prevent premature crow’s feet caused by constant squinting.

Stay hydrated, cool and protected!

Skin Tip: What to do Before Diving into the Pool!

Happy Friday everyone!

If you happen to find yourself using the pool this weekend, keep this tip in mind.  Chlorine exposure can cause skin irritation but rinsing your skin with non-chlorinated water beforehand can lessen this risk.

Wishing everyone a Happy Father’s Day Weekend!
