Skin always gives a window into the story of our lives. Unfortunately, sometimes the story includes sleepless nights with sick kids or crying babies, a stressful week at work, or too much fun and not enough water. The good news is there are tons of fast and easy fixes to wake up your face so you can still show up to work or a playdate with a confident glow!
The Foundation of a Vibrant Face
Sun Protection
Stressed out skin is more likely to show the signs of other stressors in life! Our first line of defense for protecting our skin and keeping it healthy is daily SPF. UV exposure damages skin at the cellular level - increasing risk of skin cancers, premature aging, and inflammation. When your cells are damaged, your skin is already stressed out, tired, and working too hard. A good sunscreen will keep your glow strong even when your body is tired!
Hydration Is Key
Staying hydrated keeps your skin healthy, subtle, and plump so your natural glow can shine through even when sleepless nights weigh you down. Hydration isn’t just about drinking enough water, it also requires the right products for your skin type. Our experience is that most clients are good with water intake, but they need a bit more guidance on skincare products. If your skin feels dry all the time, we would love to help you nail down the right skincare for you!
DIY Facial Massages
Facial massage isn’t just about relaxation, it literally wakes up your cells! Our skin is home to our vascular, lymphatic, immune, and nervous systems. When we stimulate movement on our face, we are increasing bloodflow, micro-circulation, and lymphatic detox. Gentle circular and upward motions while you wash your face or apply your SPF is an easy way to wake up your cells and improve your glow!
Cooling Treatments
Cooling the face tightens skin and reduces puffiness and inflammation! After washing your face with a gentle massage, use a cooling tool to calm and tighten the skin. Some of our easy at-home options are using a cold Gua Sha or jade roll in gentle upward motions, especially focusing around the upper cheeks and eyes. Even applying an ice cold cloth or cooling gel eye patches for 5 minutes can make a huge difference - especially with puffy, tired eyes! These are simple, quick solutions to make your skin look and feel more firm and fresh!
The Power of Antioxidants
Antioxidants literally fight off cellular damage! Feeding your skin with anti-oxidant rich products is like getting your daily dose of nutrient rich foods for good health and energy. Using a daytime product with Vitamin C & E is one of our favorite ways to brighten skin and and keep it glowing! Fun Fact - many mineral based sunscreens include antioxidants!
