5 Beauty Regimen Resolutions for Your New Year

Laura Pagliaroni Skin Care Dec 18, 2017 Comments Off

What are your resolutions this New Year? Maybe you’ve promised to exercise more, take up yoga, read more books, eat less sugar. Or if you’re struggling to think of resolutions, we have five beauty-inspired ones for you to consider – things that will improve your skincare and beauty regimen in simple, easy ways. Read on to learn what they are!

1. Find a Foundation That Actually Matches Your Skin

There’s a pretty good chance that you’re wearing a foundation tone that doesn’t match your skin well. Whether it’s too dark, too light or simply the wrong undertones, a mismatched foundation can make even the most impressive makeup look unappealing. If you aren’t sure what color foundation you need, consider going and getting a match done at a cosmetics store. Here are a few tips for selecting the right color.

2. Add Cleansing Oil to Your Routine

Cleansing oil is all the rage right now – and while you may think that if you have acne or oily skin, cleansing oil isn’t for you, the opposite may be true. Many people who have oily skin or acne need to balance their skin’s hydration. While oil-free cleansers can strip your face of natural oils, leaving it susceptible to dryness or overactive oil glands, cleansing oils will gently clean your skin without harming it.

3. Learn to Correctly Exfoliate Your Face

Exfoliation is a great way to remove dry, excess skin from your face. However, it’s easy to overdo it or incorrectly exfoliate, leaving your skin damaged or peeling. If you have sensitive skin, opt for a natural or gentler exfoliating scrub like a sugar or coffee-based one, instead of one with harsh chemicals. Exfoliate a few times per week, not daily. If you ever feel burning or pain, stop immediately.

4. Start a Daily and Weekly Routine

One of the best ways to care for your skin is to have a regular routine that you follow every day and every week. Gently washing your face with a delicate soap should be done twice daily. Exfoliation may only need to be done once or twice per week. Don’t forget – your face isn’t the only skin that needs love! Moisturize your body after a shower, use sunscreen when going outside and exfoliate regularly.

5. Get Adequate Sleep

Finally, one of the best things you can do for your beauty regimen is to get enough sleep. Puffy eyes, dark circles, uneven pigmentation, wrinkles and other lines can all be caused or worsened by insufficient sleep. Aim for at least seven hours.

Ready to start a new year and add these resolutions to your beauty habits? We hope so! Here’s to a brighter, healthier New Year!

Looking Your Best At Holiday Parties

Laura Pagliaroni Makeup Dec 08, 2017 Comments Off

Now that the holiday season is here, it’s time to explore some beauty tips guaranteed to help you look your best. Getting together with friends, family gatherings and work related parties are in full swing this time of year, but so are the effects on your skin, lips and hair due to cold, winter winds and dry air. We’ll take a look at some great holiday makeover tips, but before we do be sure your skin, lips, teeth and hair are in the best shape possible.

Looking Your Best At Holiday Parties

Skin

It’s a great time to get rid of dead skin that is dry and flaky by exfoliation, especially on your legs, arms and elbows, as they will likely be exposed when wearing festive dresses.

Lips

Chapped lips can be a problem during winter, and if you are prone to it, begin right now to combat the effects of dry lips with natural vitamins and supplements. Be sure and load up on vitamins E, B12, A, and C, along with plenty of omega-3s. Wear a good, natural lip balm at all times.

Teeth

Make sure your teeth are vibrant and white so your smile will radiate. Begin now to use a natural whitening toothpaste.

Hair

Winter can be disastrous to your hair, leaving it brittle and dry. Applying olive oil for 15 or more minutes prior to shampooing and conditioning can do wonders and leave your hair soft and lustrous.

A Special Beauty Makeover for the Holidays

If you want to standout from the crowd at holiday gatherings this season, consider following one or more of these suggestions for a beautiful holiday makeover:

Gold tones make a great lip gloss during the holidays.
Use eye shades of golds and silvers to accentuate your eyes.
Try dark green shades of eyeliner to compliment the golds and silvers.
Don’t forget the bright red lipstick.
Forget the hairspray—wear your hair wavy and loose for that winter, windswept look.
You can’t over accessorize, especially in holiday colors of red, gold and silver.

When Professional Services are Called for

Let’s face it—there are times when you need the services of a professional licensed esthetician. Times when a facial or peel is called for. Times when there’s hair that needs removal, and times when a eyelash extensions create the perfect touch. Whether it’s a microdermabrasion, an acne treatment or a waxing, you want to entrust these services only to those who are recognized experts in the field. We also do makeup for special occasions.
