Beauty Tips For Busy Women On The Run

by

Do you find your busy work life has had a serious impact on your appearance? Some people look fresh and glowing without any makeup, (and girrrrl do we envy you)! For the rest of us who are working late hours and running on little sleep, we don’t always wake up looking our best. On top of this, when we are rushing to work, setting aside time to put on makeup is the last thing on our mind. However, if you feel more confident on days you enter work with some basic makeup on, you shouldn’t have to compromise! These beauty tips are perfect for any busy woman on the run!

Quickly Conceal In Under 3 Minutes

The part of our face that conveys exhaustion the most is the bags under our eyes. The best way to hide this darkness, plus any blemishes you may have, is to use some concealer in the morning. This process does not take long either! Rinse your face with cool water in the morning to clean and reduce puffiness. After, apply some moisturizer then lightly dab some concealer under your eyes and any problem spots.

Brighten Your Eyes

They say that the eyes are the window to the soul... and can truly change your whole appearance. Adding a few strokes of eyeshadow and some mascara can instantly make your eyes pop and look brighter.

Are Jade Rollers Beneficial For Your Skin?

by

Jade rollers are an increasingly popular tool in skincare. Some people swear by the benefits of using the smooth green jade on their face, and others claim it to be a big waste of money. Before you decide to purchase or forego adding this tool to your beauty routine, we have all the details.

Can Jade Rollers Cure Your Acne?

Hate to break it, but jade rollers are not the magical cure for acne. Many brands sell this tool as helping to reduce breakouts, but the reality is this product does nothing for zits. A better treatment for breakouts would be using a salicylic acid face wash or spot treatment once a day.

What Skin Benefit Do Jade Rollers Provide?

While they can’t banish your breakouts and wrinkles, jade rollers can help with reducing your puffiness. The rolling motions on your face helps to increase lymphatic drainage, meaning your face will appear leaner and less tired from just waking up. It is also best to use the roller after you have already applied moisturizer or toner on your face, to feel more relaxed and smooth the product evenly into your skin. As of now there is no data to backup if the roller helps for facial products to penetrate better, but this is also a potential bonus from using the stones on your skin.

How To Use A Jade Roller

As intuitive as it may seem, there is a wrong and right way to using a jade roller. This beauty routine was part of ancient Chinese rituals to create movement underneath the skin’s surface. But rather than smoothing it all over your face in haphazard strokes like you would with painting a wall, you should roll in specific directions.

It is best to start with rolling in downward motions around the neck area to open circulation to your face. Then roll the stone on your cheeks in an outward motion before hitting your forehead in a downward then horizontal direction. This should help to get the best results if used daily!

Soft Glowing Skin This Summer In 5 Easy Steps

by

You are super excited about your next summer beach vacation, but absolutely horrified at the thought of taking pictures due to that new planet that just popped up on your face. With the heat and humidity causing *endless sweat* that can clog pores, it can be hard to have flawless skin in the summer. These 5 easy steps will help you to get glowing in no time.

Exfoliate For An Immediate Glow

One of the easiest tricks to getting skin that literally glows in just a matter of minutes is by exfoliating. Using a nice sugar scrub or body scrub will help to slough away all the dead skin cells and peeling sunburnt skin to reveal your fresh face underneath. Just remember to not over exfoliate- too much can actually dry out and strip your face of natural oils. A safe bet is two to three times a week.

Switch Up Your Moisturizer

In the winter months, our skin is typically dry and in need of more moisture, so heavier creams are ideal for these months. However, if you’re still using that same bottle from January, or no moisturizer at all, we’ve found your main culprit for breakouts! You might feel like you’re skin is «moisturized» from all the sweat you produce, but sweat is high in sodium which dries out your skin. This can leave your face looking patchy and red. To keep your skin supple (and not overdo it so that you’re a literal greaseball), try using a lightweight oil-free moisturizer that has SPF. Simple and smart!

Hydrate From Within

While hydrating your skin with a good moisturizer is key, the best hydration starts from within. Yup, with water! It’s easy to forget to get your daily 8 glasses (or more) during the hot months, but doing so will flush out toxins in your system. The result is a fresher looking you all around!

Wash Your Face (And Body) With Cold Water

You might already be showering in cold water as a cool relief from the heat, but if you aren’t you should do so ASAP this summer. The hot air and humidity combined with an extra dose of both from a hot shower work to dehydrate your skin. This in turn can cause unwanted breakouts. Plus, the cool water can provide an immediate «wake up» on days you’re feeling sluggish.

Up The Antioxidants

The amazing powers of antioxidants are endless, and when it comes to your skin these damage fighting molecules can do absolute wonders. Antioxidants can help protect your skin from damage caused by the sun, improve inflammation, and increase collagen necessary to keep your face smooth and wrinkle free.

That said, you can get your much needed dose of antioxidants both from external serums, which admittedly have a hefty price tag, or the easy cheap route- eating them! Many foods that are common in summer are packed with antioxidants, like mangoes, cantaloupe, and berries. Snack up- your skin will thank you!
