TOP FIVE BEAUTY HABITS
The five beauty habits that pay off most: take off your makeup every night, wear SPF hand cream, get eight hours of sleep, use eye cream morning and night, and add a noninvasive daily treatment for lines around the mouth. We all love lists, and we especially love lists that keep us beautiful. The way you look has a lot to do not only with genetics but also with skin care habits. Read on and add these five beauty habits to your routine if you haven’t already.
- Take off all of your makeup at night . This is a no-brainer, but lots of women constantly need this reminder. Lots of late nights and martinis make it easy to stumble home and into bed, but if you don’t remove your makeup, your skin can’t regenerate itself during precious nighttime hours.
- Apply hand cream with SPF throughout the day. Our hands get a beating throughout the day. With constant washing and sun exposure, the best way to combat excessive dryness and incidental sun exposure is by applying (and reapplying!) a deep moisturizer with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
- Get eight hours of sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to dark circles under the eyes and tired looking skin because the body’s circulatory system has been compromised. Eight hours ensures proper drainage and perky skin.
- Use eye cream. Every time, every morning and night. Since there are very few oil glands underneath the eyes, a properly hydrating eye cream will keep the delicate, thin under eye skin plump, firm and protected.
- Invest in noninvasive daily beauty treatments. If you’re trying to avoid the plastic surgeon’s office and needles, yet still want to improve the look of laugh or smile lines, try a simple beauty device like AngelLift Dermastrips. Just 30 minutes a day can visibly improve the appearance of laugh lines and the vertical lines around the lips within 30 days. Plus, lips get natural-looking volume — no overly-filled pillow face or duck lips here! Not sure which strength fits you? Take the 30-second strength quiz.
