A habit you should create everyday is sunscreen. 😎 This should be included in the last step of your skincare routine. Many people feel that with the changing of seasons, it’s not going to be as important in the Fall/Winter months. NOT TRUE!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There are two main reasons why you should be interested in sunscreen. On one hand, sunscreen can protect your skin from aging. 👵🧓 On the other hand, by wearing sunscreen, you reduce the risk of skin cancer. ☠️ If you are working indoors and do not go out too often during the day, the morning application should keep you all day. However, if you are working outdoors, it is recommended that you re-apply the sunscreen every two hours. Make this part of your #dailyhabit so you’re on the road to #healthierskin. #healthierchoices #healthierlife #healthieryou #healthy #healthyskin #healthyskintips #tanning #tanningtime

#Successfulpeople have all different types of #morningrituals. They’ve likely tailored their #routines over the years to fit them best—some read the newspaper, some get good family time in, some #meditate or do #yoga and an awful lot of them #exercise. Some grab their #coffee 🙋‍♀️. But what they don’t do is roll over, hit the alarm and say, “Screw it, I’ll just sleep a bit more.” They get up, do their morning thing and hit the ground running 🏃 🏃🏼‍♀️. The #morning is a particularly sensitive time, whether you’re a morning person or not, since how you start the day can affect your #mood and efficacy level through the day. What’s more, if you’re trying to break a bad morning #habit or two (perhaps an immediate/obsessive #smartphone check or a #sugar habit), replacing them with more beneficial ones is wise. The brain is amazingly plastic, and with some practice, it’s quite able to develop new routines to rely on. This way, over time, the new routines become the new normal.

While everyday skin conditions can be complex, the solutions don’t have to be. Whether you face teen or adult acne, maturing skin, premature aging or sensitive skin, finding the right skincare products that best meet your skincare needs is vitally important. What is equally as important, is using the right products according to viscosity.

Rodan + Fields has products that are based on a philosophy of Multi-Med Therapy—using the right and active ingredients, in the right formulations, in the right order. As practicing dermatologists, Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields know that treating the underlying cause of a problem works and yields long-term benefits.

The thing is, in order to see real changes in your skin, you must not only partake in a regular morning and night skincare routine, but you need patience, as well! Patience because real results come over time with regular use. While “miracle products” may promise instant results, these results are only temporary. Products that truly work for the long term, take time and consistent use. #skincare #skinsin #skincaretips #skincare101 #skincareregimen #skincarethread

Happiness is a choice. For every minute you are angry or irritated, you lose 60 seconds of happiness. 😥 Be happy. 😁 Be yourself. If others don’t like it, then let them be. Life isn’t about pleasing everybody.

If you have the courage to admit when you’re scared, the ability to laugh even as you cry, the nerve to speak up, even if your voice is shaking, the confidence to ask for help when you need it, and the wisdom to take it when it’s offered, then you have everything you need to get yourself to a happier state of mind. 🙌🏻

Begin today by taking responsibility for your own contentment. CHOOSE happiness! Look at everything you have to be grateful for and that will change your mindset to one of Gratitude.

You can't make your pores disappear, but you can make them APPEAR smaller. 👀

You need your pores. That's how oil and sweat reach your skin's surface. Many things can affect your pore size, including these six that you control.

1. Pick Products Wisely. Take stock of your skincare products. Zinc and magnesium help restore your skin's oil balance and clear pores, which can make them look smaller. Products with soothing ingredients such as rosemary and lavender may ease irritation and prevent pores from stretching out. DM me for more information on the perfect skincare regimen ❤️

2. Keep Clean. Washing your face is a short-term solution. It stops your pores from having to expand to hold extra oil or other buildup from the day.

Exfoliating two or three times per week does the same thing. But these steps are "only temporary. You will naturally have large pores if you are born with oily skin or combination skin. 😩

3. Wear Sunscreen. Too much sun can make your skin less supple, making your pores look bigger. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day. Also, wear a broad-brimmed hat and avoid being out in the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

4. Spot Treat. Drier skin tends to have barely visible pores. Oiler skin tends to have larger, more noticeable pores.

5. Eat Right. Food that's high in fat and unhealthy oils can inflame your skin, which can lead to clogged pores. Also stay away from a high sugar diet which can increase hormones.

6. Never Sleep With Makeup On! Don't go to bed without washing your face. Leaving make-up on overnight clogs your pores, stretching them out over time. Stash a pack of face wipes at your bedside for those nights you forget to wash off your makeup at the sink. #skincare #skincare101 #skincaretips #skincareroutine #poresnomore #pores

You need your pores. That's how oil and sweat reach your skin's surface. Many things can affect your pore size.

Recent research has indicated that the foods you eat can indeed give rise to clogged pores, which in turn gives rise to acne.

Food that's high in fat and unhealthy oils can inflame your skin, which can lead to clogged pores. Food high in sugar can also change your hormone balance, increasing your skin’s sebum (oil) production and enlarging pores. #skinsin #skincare #skincaretips #skincaretricks #skincaretipsandtricks #enlargedpores #pores #poresnomore

You may not realize it, but body soaps and face washes are not at all the same thing. In fact, they can be opposites when it comes to how they clean. Soaps contain harsh detergents, while cleansers are usually designed to hydrate while cleaning. The basic problem is that body soaps are designed to scrub away dirt and oils, while face wash is made to scrub away dirt while still maintaining the healthy oils and pH balance of your facial skin.

I recommend a skin cleanser designed for your specific skincare need: acne, antiaging, hyperpigmentation and discoloration, sensitive skin and even men skincare. Unsure what type of skin you have or the cleanser you will need, DM for a free skincare consultation. #skinsin #skincare #skincare101 #skincareroutine #skincareregimen #facecleanser #facecleaning

Whatever the reason you pick at your acne, it not only causes damage to your skin, but also makes your pimples hang around much longer than if you’d simply left the spots alone. In addition:

☠️ Picking is unsanitary, and the introduction of new bacteria to already damaged tissue could lead to infection .

☠️ Picking causes further breakouts. Simply put, having your fingers on your face doesn’t lead to clearer skin. In fact, that oil, dirt, and bacteria passed from your fingers to your skin, leading to more breakouts.

☠️ Picking causes skin discoloration. This is where picking leaves behind permanent discoloration if you succumb to picking. This isn’t a raised scar or a dent; this is hyperpigmentation (brown for darker skin tones and red or purple for lighter tones) that is tough to get rid of — if at all.

If you’re prone to picking your pimples, the first step is to get your acne under control. Shoot me a DM and we can talk options for you to have healthy, clearer #skin. #skincare #skincareroutine #acnesucks #skincaretips #pimplesproblem

Sleeping in your makeup can result in unnecessary exposure to the free radicals in the environment, which the makeup holds on too. Free radicals cause the breakdown of healthy collagen, which results in fine lines on the skin. Additionally, makeup can clog pores while you sleep, resulting in the development of acne. Each night you sleep in your makeup, your pores become more clogged. Eventually, not only will this enlarge pores but also attracts acne causingb acteria to your pores. Sleeping in eye makeup not only will cause crows feet but will also lead to eye irritation and styes. If you are too tired to complete your nightly skincare regimen, have some makeup wipes handy on your nightstand. #skincaretips #skincare #skincare101

If you are using the wrong #makeup for your #skin type, you may be doing more harm than good. Skin #irritations, #allergies, #dryness, #redness, and #dullness can all be a result. Here are some #makeuptips:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✅ When you cover your skin with makeup, especially liquids and creams, you also end up clogging it. This leads to the formation of #blackheds and #acne. Make sure you use a #noncomedogenic product if you have #acneprone skin.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✅ Watch out for #Parabens. Parabens can cause various allergic reactions like skin irritation, #blotches and #blemishes on the skin. Read the labels.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✅ Over periods of time, you may see skin #aging signs. While makeup does help you hide or cover flaws in your skin, some makeup can actually accentuate the #finelines and #wrinkles on your face. Choose a #dermacosmetic that actually helps with the signs of aging.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✅ Choose a high quality premium brand. #Cosmetic products that use poor quality ingredients can lead to skin discoloration, patches, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, redness and #freckles. Choose a premium brand that has added SPF protection designed to protect your skin from sun damage.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Regardless of how much or what kind of makeup you use, it is imperative that you indulge in a proper cleaning regime to remove all traces from your skin. Having a #skincare consultation every 6 months can ensure that you are using the right skincare regimen. If you need a recommendation on a premium derma cosmetic which will actually help your skin (no matter your skin type), shoot me a DM or comment below. #makeupartist #makeuptips #makeuptipsandtricks #makeuptutorial #skincareroutine #skincaretips #skincaretipsandtricks

The concept of listening to your #skin sounds odd, I know. Along the same lines as trusting your intuition and "paying attention to your little voice," it's advice that can incite more than a few eye rolls. But, as annoying as that advice is, it makes your #skincareroutine incredibly easy, and it might just give you the #bestskin of your life.

Once you learn how to read the signs, just giving your skin what it needs makes taking care of it easier and a bit more fun. Finding out exactly what your #skinneeds can take an easy 2 minutes.
