Everyone wants healthy, glowing skin, but not everyone has the’ luxury’ of looking like the beauty models and airbrushed celebs on the cover of magazines.
But is that really a luxury at all when it conveys nothing about your actual health or the health of your skin?
We live in the real world and that means dry, flaky, itchy or sometimes blotchy skin. Wellness is a holistic approach, and adapting it to your beauty routine is your first essential tip. Here are 3 ways to get started:
1. Squeeze in a Quickie Workout
You may not have an entire hour to spare but you can certainly squeeze in 5-10 minutes maybe even a few times a day. When you wake up, go for a longer walk with your pup, or park farther back in the parking lot to burn some extra calories. When you have appointments, schedule them on a Friday afternoon, so you can leave early and hit the gym. Fact: when you exercise you feel better about yourself and your productivity goes up, which in turn boosts your motivation, energy and mood as it releases your endorphins. We recommend you check out Grokker’s 2-week free membership, where you can virtually bring your instructor to your quickie workout anywhere!
2. Get Creative With DIY Beauty Treatments
Store bought beauty products can get heavy on your pocket book not to mention time consuming to follow each regimen. Instead, we suggest you spend time on Pinterest or create your own beauty regimen with homemade and holistic ingredients under the guidance of our Safe Beauty & Body Panel Expert Rachael Pontillo.
3. Drink Flavored ‘Spa’ Water
Not new news, water is one of the best things you can do for self care. Drinking your H2O will help hydrate, improve your brain function, concentration, and overall health. Staying hydrated improves your skin and its elasticity as well.
Flavoring your water by adding a natural ‘twist’ will bring some fun and flavor to the routine. Use lemon, lavender, rose petals, lime or fruit of your choice. Add it to ice cube trays for flavored ice cubes or simply add a squirt of fruit juice to your regular water. Create a spa moment for yourself to feel pampered and relaxed, your water break can quickly become your spa-break for a moment of decompression.
