It has been a challenging year, especially for the beauty conscious among us. Coping with the stress of a pandemic; with its subsequent toll on our mental health, it’s about all we can do to stay sane, much less staving off the rigors of ageing, during these difficult times. Now that we are once again on the verge of a new year, let’s gracefully reset our beauty clocks as we resolve to follow these, time tested, age defying secrets; as we look forward to our gorgeous glow- up for 2021! Check out ‘secrets’ below:
PUT YOUR BEST FACE FORWARD
Your face is the very first thing people notice about your appearance, and it can leave quite an impression. Whether you choose to do a 10 step Korean (K-Beauty) routine or the bare minimum of wash, cleanse, tone and moisturize, always take the time to take care of your skin daily, by maintaining a consistent skin care regimen. With affordable skincare products on the market, there is no need to break the bank to keep your face looking youthful. See a dermatologist if you need help in managing more serious skin issues. A consistent skincare routine is a must to keep your skin looking healthy, glowing and youthful.
GET YOUR BEAUTY SLEEP
A good night’s sleep helps our body repair, rejuvenate and recover. Persons who consistently get a good night’s rest, report feeling more alert, less stressed, and appear healthier than those who habitually burn the ‘midnight oil’. Good sleep hygiene also reduces the risk of diseases, depression, fatigue, acne, weight-gain and wrinkles. If you struggle with sleeping disorders such as insomnia, a competent doctor can help you get back to a healthy sleep schedule in no time. Go ahead; get your ‘beauty sleep’, on!
STAY HYDRATED, Y’ALL
It is said that ‘water is life’, and no truer words have been spoken, because keeping our bodies hydrated is the key to staying healthy and young. While we can get hydrated from commercial drinks and juices, there is none that is as economical and beneficial than drinking that good ol’ H2o! Water keeps our cells hydrated, thus keeping our skin supple and radiant. It is also anti-aging as it cleanses toxins from our bodies, promotes weight loss, and improves our energy, concentration and even our skin’s complexion! For the ‘water-averse’, having a bottle of refreshing water within easy reach will help us to make it more of a habit.
