A Flawless Future: My Skincare Tips

SKINNNNNCARE!!! IS!!!! EVERYTHING!!!

As you guys know, my number one beauty tip (besides sleep ) is sunscreen. Because, DUH!!!

And sunscreen def falls under that anti-aging category.

Anti-aging essentials for skin are a must. Besides anything that’s preventative is a win/win in my book. But there’s one other beauty tip that takes the cake…SAY NO TO STRESS.

Stress can accelerate aging by 10 years…I know, right? BOO.

Anyway, last week I talked about my love for Elizabeth Arden products because of their longtime, amazing track record. Whelp, surprise!! Their skincare products rock too…& focus on primarily on anti-aging.

Luckily, they just launched ‘Flawless Future Powered By Ceramide™‘ which helps to replenish depleted ceramides lost due to aging and stress (I hate you, stress!). This anti-aging, stress-fighting trio officially hits shelves today but, I got a sneak peak! Personally, I deal with some anxiety so stress is something I deal with on a day to day basis. My lifestyle is very go, go, go so I need all the anti-aging I can get…lemme tell ya..

Ok, so I spilled some my makeup tips a few days ago, & then this week I’m getting down dirty with a lil skin post.

I always look for products that are anti-aging. My skin essentials are simple:

♥ I need a good anti-aging skin serum ( because, duh! )

♥ An eye gel that prevents under eye wrinkles

♥ A moisturizer w/ sunscreen that contains at least SPF 30 * SPF. SPF. SPF. Can’t say that one enough.

My routine is simple and this three-step system helps me keep it that way in the shower I use a good bar of all-natural soap to scrub my face. Afterwards I add this Elizabeth Arden serum to my face & allow it to dry. Once it’s dried I add their eye gel. Then I mix this moisturizer with my foundation ( mix it with a brush ) & apply the foundation mixture to my face. 

Voila!

These products work well for my busy lifestyle because they make my skin appear more energized ( AKA less stressed ) & help get rid of sun damage and dark spots.

+++ Some other skin care tips:

♡ When applying eye gel, pat it on, don’t press it on. This will prevent wrinkles.

♡ Only exfoliate the face once a week. Opt for kinder methods the rest of the week.

♡ Pat your skin dry with a towel, as opposed to scrubbing it. + Don’t forget to apply SPF on your neck & hands.

♡ Eat clean. What you eat comes out on your skin. I like healing my bod from the inside out, as opposed to the outside in.

What’s your best kept skin care secret?
