Now let’s be honest, we often set the bar quite high for ourselves, so I thought of giving you six tips to help bring out your natural beauty. Because we’re all truly, naturally beautiful.
SLEEP WELL
Easy for some, harder for others. Catching enough ZZZs regularly is essential to maintaining healthy-looking skin. Before going to bed, take the time to remove your makeup so that your skin can regenerate itself while you’re resting. You’ll see that after a good night’s sleep, your skin will appear softer and fresher and that a night of tossing and turning can leave your skin feeling stiff and dull. Getting the proper amount of sleep is great for your skin, and also for your mood: you’ll feel much more energized to power through the day!
EAT WELL
Your skin is highly impacted by your diet. Naturally, it will benefit from foods rich in omega-3s and antioxidants, such as leeks, onions, garlic, grapes, and carrots, just to name a few. Also, avoid alcohol, sweets and fatty foods. I know it isn’t easy! But you don’t have to drastically change your habits from day one. The idea is to do your best to choose the right foods, but still treat yourself from time to time.
STAY HYDRATED
Drinking lots of water throughout the day is vital. I won’t list all the reasons why it’s important, but keep in mind that it detoxifies, regulates, and relieves constipation… a powerful ally. Did you know that 70% of our bodies are made up of water? Remember that hydration is indispensable to our organisms. Here’s a tip! Buy a refillable water bottle and keep it with you everywhere you go. I have one at work and at home, and I’ve quickly made a habit of filling them up often so that they’re always full. This way, I always have water sitting right in front of me, and I’m reminded to drink often. And it works!
CLEANSE YOUR SKIN
Your skin faces air pollution and toxic elements every day. So it’s crucial to cleanse your skin either in the morning or evening (especially at night, to help with the skin regeneration process). There’s a reason why we see so many face cream ads… Because keeping your skin moisturized is a must! Follow this skincare routine daily: remove your makeup, then cleanse, and moisturize. Weekly exfoliating treatments can also be beneficial to rid your skin of impurities.
APPLY MAKEUP CONSCIOUSLY
Light makeup isn’t necessarily trendy… Tell me about it. We see so many models and influencers applying layer upon layer of makeup on their face. Still, you don’t need to treat your face like it’s a Picasso painting. Light makeup is so much more interesting than a heavy evening look that will completely block your pores. Opt for natural or organic products that will enhance your complexion. Reading the labels in your cosmetic kit is really helpful… Ever since I’ve started making choices based on ingredients, I’m seeing a notable difference. You would be surprised by everything we apply to our delicate skin! It’s time to start paying attention.
BE CONFIDENT AND STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS
I don’t need to tell you that comparing yourself to others is unhealthy. It’s best to always trust yourself, above everything else. Because if there’s one thing I’ve recently learned, it’s that there’s something beautiful in each of us. We all have our own loveable qualities. And once we’ve identified these traits that make us unique, nothing can stop us! What makes you beautiful? Maybe it’s a smile, a confident attitude, or an optimistic mindset. It’s easy when you think about it.
