A new beauty routine will help you not only look good, but also feel great. It is important to remember that confidence and good mental health are just as vital as physical health.
Wash your hair well.
You’ll be at greater risk of hair damage if you use heat and styling tools frequently. If you suffer from scalp issues, using too much product may make things worse. You can avoid damage by not washing your hair every day. Mindy Stegall, stylist at Mindy Stegall says: “The natural oils protect the body from damage.” Massage your scalp thoroughly and then rinse to ensure that all the product is removed. Nioxin can help you with scalp problems. Use a dry shampoo such as Indie Hair Dry Spray #comeclean if you simply can’t wash your hair everyday. Spray your dry shampoo on the roots and comb through your hair to remove natural oils. We promise, it works.
Remove old beauty products.
Expired products are not only a breeding ground for bacteria but also less effective as they age. These items can cause irritations to the skin and infection. Here’s our guide to getting rid of old beauty products.
Start cleaning your makeup brushes.
After several months of use, if you do not clean your brushes, the makeup will build up. This can cause a build-up of bacteria which leads to breakouts or poor makeup application. In the new year, clean your makeup brushes once a week. Mix one cup warm water, one teaspoon of gentle baby soap and a little baking soda in a small container. Mix thoroughly. Swirl brushes in solution, then rinse with warm water and dry on a towel.
Remove all makeup from your face at the end the day.
It’s been drilled into your heads repeatedly, yet some people refuse to listen. Wash your face before going to bed. If you leave makeup or dirt on your face at night, it can cause breakouts and premature aging. Try a makeup remover such as Sorme’s Clean & Gentle Oil-Free Makeup Remover, and follow up with a gentle facial cleanser.
Wear sunscreen.
Wearing a sunscreen-protected moisturizer will protect your skin from harmful sun rays. With a moisturizer which has SPF added, it will be easy to apply sunscreen. TheBalm’s BalmShelter Tinted Moisturizers offer an SPF 18 and we love them! Plus, it’s a moisturizer and SPF in one!
You can start the year off right by implementing a new beauty regime that will improve your health and make you happier.
