6 Great Ways To Care For Your Skin

July 1, 2016

Practicing good skin care is a great idea at any age. It is usually the first thing a person notices about us, and taking time to treat our bodies well is essential. Here are six important things to remember when caring for your skin.

skincare tips

Keep Hydrated

Be sure to drink those eight glasses of water a day, as they are great for flushing out toxins and keeping our face clear. Slathering on a moisturizing lotion from head to toe is also essential for keeping that skin happy and hydrated. Try to steer clear of lotions containing a lot of alcohol, as this could have the opposite effect and dry you out.

Stay Out of the Sun

Those damaging rays can age us drastically, so lay on the SPF and break out that floppy hat if you are planning a trip to the beach. Even if you do not spend a lot of time in the sun, your daily facial moisturizer should contain SPF. This will not only keep premature wrinkles at bay, but protect you from Dark Age spots. It is absolutely essential for you to have some time of skin care to protect your from the sun most every time you go out. Especially in the Summer.

Keep Your Body Moving

Increasing blood flow will not only have your skin looking vibrant, but keeps varicose veins at bay as well. Compression clothing and proper footwear also ensure there is healthy blood flow to your veins. A simple walk or jog a few times a week will have you feeling better as well as looking great from head to toe. Having things like varicose veins can cause a lot of issues. That is why you have to keep moving. However, if you do ever get varicose veins make sure to seek treatment right away from somewhere like the Ivein vein center.

Eat Well

You have heard the expression “you are what you eat”, and it certainly rings true in skin care. A diet rich in fruits and veggies will keep a body healthy and a complexion clear. Although it is a myth that chocolate causes acne, a diet full of fats and oils are certainly not great for your skin’s wellbeing.

Be Gentle

You do not need to exfoliate daily or use abrasive scrubs on a regular basis to have beautiful skin. On the contrary, a gentle wash will clean your face well without stripping it of any moisture.

Sleep It Off

There’s a reason you look more dissolved on days that you only get a few hours of shuteye. Without enough time to restore the skin’s natural balance you are left looking tired and dull. A good eight hours will have a huge effect the brightness of your skin, so dream away.

Skin care does not have to be a chore. In fact, you should feel as though you are pampering yourself when lathering on the lotion and taking care of yourself! Have a little “me time” and enjoy.

The holiday panic has officially set in for me. I’ve made a small dent in my holiday shopping list, but I need to accomplish a lot more because this month is getting crazier by the day (and I haven’t even decorated my tree). Anybody else?

It’s my husband’s birthday, our 33rd anniversary, Christmas and we even have a vacation the week before Christmas (no complaints).🏖️☀️👙

So I just wanted to pop on here and say hello before I head out this morning for a cryo facial. I’ve never had one before, so I’m excited to try it and will share more about it soon.

Have a fantastic day!✨

I thought I’d try that “style to styled”outf I thought I’d try that “style to styled”outfit post today. Swipe to see my out-the-door look.✨

This is an easy-to-wear casual Fall outfit from cabi. The lightweight floral patterned blouse has been one of my favorite layering pieces this season. 

I paired with the Palm Beach Crop. This season they’re a wide wale corduroy in a bone color with a copper button fly. They go with everything! Cropped on others, but a perfect longer length on me at 5’2”. 

Order all of your favorite cabi styles by December 8th for standard shipping to receive by Christmas. They have some great gift giving items for all of the ladies on your holiday shopping list.

Twas the day before Thanksgiving… and I’m fre Twas the day before Thanksgiving…

and I’m freaking out, as usual. I host every year and worry about having enough food and variety for everyone so I start adding extra items to my menu and grab an extra pie or 2 from the grocery store. I always end up with too much food, but apparently that’s how I like it. Now I just need to coordinate everything so it all comes out of the oven about the same time…

I’m so thankful for my family, friends and this community here on Instagram. I’m truly blessed and grateful. Praying for peace for all this year.

Happy Thanksgiving!
