Types of Beauty Products that Everyone Needs – Men & Women

Everyone needs to take care of their skin and hair to look and feel their best, even men. Neglecting things like your hair and skin can make you absolutely miserable, especially if your skin starts to dry out, start cracking and get itchy or uncomfortable. What if your hair started falling out tomorrow or you started to lose volume in it?

These may be things that you are not worried about now, especially if you aren’t currently having any problems. Let’s think down the road though, when you may start to lose these things. The truth is, by using a few simple health and beauty products, you can take better care of yourself and prolong the health of your hair and skin. Let’s take a look at some of the best types of beauty products that everyone needs.

Types of Beauty Products that Everyone Needs

 1) Face Lotion

 We can probably all agree that everyone would like to look younger, even if it is just a little bit. It is always flattering when someone tells you that you look younger than you are. One of the best ways that we can keep looking young and healthy, and prevent uncomfortable, unhealthy, and unattractive dry skin is by using a high quality face lotion.

There are tons of great face lotions on the market for both men and women. Make sure that you do your research to make sure that you get a natural product with all of the vitamins and minerals that you need to promote the growth and regeneration of healthy skin.

 2) Body and Hand Lotion

 Taking care of your hands and skin is absolutely essential for preserving and taking care of your body. You don’t have to make a full-fledged jump into a really expensive hand or body lotion. You can find a ton of great, reasonably-priced body lotions that will keep your skin moist and healthy.

Dry, cracked skin can be really painful and uncomfortable. Go do research on some different skin lotions to see what works best for you.

 3) Quality Shampoo

 Your hair may naturally thin and gray as you get older, but having a great shampoo is a great way of preserving and fortifying your hair. Great shampoo is something that everyone needs to make sure that you have excellent hair and scalp health. Flaking, lankiness, and poor texture are preventable, so don’t let them get you down by purchasing any old shampoo that doesn’t address your needs.

4) Conditioner

 Conditioner breaks up the knots in your hair, smooths it out and gives it body. They are packed with valuable vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are essential for having a healthy head of hair. If you want healthy hair, don’t skip conditioner.

4 Signs of Healthy Skin

Your face. You get really used to looking at it, assuming what you’ve always lived with is as it should be. Do you really know how to tell how healthy your skin is? Here are 4 signs of healthy skin.

Hydrated

Healthy skin is full and hydrated. There are no signs of flaking or scaling. It’s dewy. If you are getting proper circulation, it even glows. Make sure you are drinking lots of fluids and moving your body, a.k.a. exercise, and this will be the byproduct!

Natural

Healthy skin feels natural. Have you ever washed your face and immediately felt tightness from the products you used? Healthy skin doesn’t feel that way. Healthy skin on your face is like healthy skin anywhere else on your body. It just exists. You notice it only when something is wrong. Tightness, burning, itching or chapping are all signs that something is wrong with your skin. It may be lack of hydration or that the products you are using are not right for your skin type.

Smooth Texture

Healthy skin is smooth and void of acne, bumps, wrinkles and scars. If you are dealing with any of these issues as an adult, there is likely a hormonal imbalance or lack of nutrients in your body.

Even Color

Skin that is even in color and void of sunspots and blotchiness is the epitome of healthy. Use skincare products with SPF in them and avoid extended sun exposure. Be sure to use sunscreen whenever you will be outdoors. This is the best way to prevent sun damage and maintain even coloring. It’s a little extra work, but your skin will thank you.

Beautiful, healthy skin is possible. Commit to being well hydrated. In addition, stay committed to your skincare routine and use sunscreen. Every once in a while, treat your skin to a facial. We have the finest products and design each facial personally to your needs.

5 Beauty Regimen Resolutions for Your New Year

5 Beauty Regimen Resolutions for Your New Year

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!
