Are you stuck in a beauty rut? If you’re one of many who have mastered a beauty technique that you can do with your eyes closed, then this article is for you. As spring is yearning to break through and cast a sunny spell upon us all, it brings with it a time for change.
To help you kick start your spring cleaning, I thought it would be fun and exciting to begin with your beauty routine.
Super Packed Serum
Recharge: Oil based serum with an antioxidant rich serum
Why: During this time of year, your complexion is going through a phase of adjustment to both variable (i.e. our diet and lifestyle) and invariable (i.e. the environment and pollution) mechanisms that contribute to pre-mature aging. While variable habits suggest the metabolic rate of how we age internally, exposure to invariable contaminates wreak havoc externally.
Seek: Botanically-derived retinols, moisturizers and antioxidants from various plant ingredients sourced from berries, extracts and a broad range of vitamins and minerals.
No Needle Face Lift
Recharge: Regular spa facials with technology and ancient techniques
Why: Like our bodies, the facial muscles in our complexions also have memory. With routine, results will often plateau. Many are turning to more natural, non-invasive treatments to combat fine lines and prominent wrinkles. Although scientific studies are scant, these treatments have been evolving over time, becoming more widespread and accessible than ever before.
Seek: Facial acupuncture (a.k.a. acupuncture facelift) uses needles on certain points of the facial contours to stimulate the body’s natural energies, called qi. These needles help stimulate circulation, decrease the appearance of wrinkles, puffiness and blemishes; tone and relax the muscles underneath the skin resulting in a much brighter and healthier complexion.
Art of Bathing
Recharge: Regular bath to one with a purpose
Why: Greek gods and goddesses, amongst other cultures from around the world, practiced the art of bathing and understood the benefits that this private ritual stimulates in our bodies from the inside out. Try the following suggestions to enhance your ordinary bath to an extraordinary experience:
Utilize this time of year to change or commence something new and fresh in your everyday beauty ritual. The beauty of this exquisite industry is that the sky really is the limit, so go ahead, get creative and dive in!
