Take great care of your skin as well as your body and your mind.
If you want to look and feel your best, there are many things you can do internally and externally to make that happen. From prioritizing self-care to taking exceptionally good care of your skin, you have options that fulfill your needs physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Finding the right skin care practices that address you as a person takes time but is well worth the effort. Once you find the things that help you feel incredible, you’ll make sure that they are part of your daily routine because you get so much benefit from them.
Here are ten skin care practices that keep you looking pretty everyday:
1. Beautify the water you drink. Add slices of fruit and vegetables as well as sprigs of fresh herbs, chia seeds, and rose hips for an added boost of vitamins. If you’re pregnant, you may want to stick to just fresh produce until after you’ve delivered. That way, you don’t encounter any ingredient that causes sensitivities in you or your baby’s body.
2. Get enough beauty sleep. Being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed means that not only you’ve had enough hours of sleep, but that the quality of the sleep itself was excellent. Do what you can to make your bedroom a sanctuary for snoozing. Make sure that the temperature is comfortable and that it’s dark enough to invite slumber. Turn off your phone or tablet and prepare to sleep by silently listing a few of your successes from the day.
3. Nosh on fresh fruits and vegetables. Berries and leafy green vegetables need to be on your grocery list. Each are packed with vitamins and nutrients that help your skin look incredible. Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are rich in antioxidants. They help you fight against damage caused by harmful UV rays.
4. Switch to silk or satin pillowcases. The materials are much easier on your face. They’re not abrasive the way some fabrics such as cotton, hemp, and linen are. Besides, it feels luxurious to sleep on something shiny, silky or satiny, anyway.
5. Invest in a professional facial occasionally. Pamper yourself by allowing an aesthetician to give you the VIP treatment. You deserve some extra TLC, and you’ll get it from a professional. A spa treatment now and then helps keep your skin looking amazing so you don’t need to use extra cleanser or moisturizer to achieve similar results.
6. Be proactive about sun protection. Wear a sweat-proof sunscreen wherever you go. Even if you spend a great deal of time indoors, make it a point to choose a foundation with SPF protection. That way you’re covered no matter what!
7. Find productive ways to deal with stress. No two mommies deal with stressful situations the same. That’s where stress management tools come in. They help you feel calm and relaxed no matter how chaotic your environment is. Some stress relievers that you might find ideal include yoga, meditation, diffusing pregnancy-safe essential oils, taking a long bath, journaling, talking to a friend or mental health counselor, keeping a blog or dancing.
8. Add pumpkin seeds to your favorite smoothie recipe. Packed full of protein and all twenty-two amino acids, a handful of seeds boosts the nutrient value of the average fruit or vegetable smoothie. Amino acids are known to be the foundation ingredient in your hair, skin, and nails.
9. Count your blessings. Developing an attitude of gratitude reduces stress levels and helps fight inflammation. If your skin seems abnormally red or puffy, developing a positive attitude about the blessings you have and writing them down helps.
10. Make others feel beautiful by sharing your favorite tips with them. Take what you’ve learned and help others step into their own power. Start a blog, a YouTube channel or class in your community. Teach other women how to help their skin look radiant and youthful at all times.
