Did you catch this quote? "Stress is not our friend, neither for our mind nor for our skin." Dr. Joshua Zeichner, the director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital, NYC.
If you’ve gotten a bit lazy, have a blemish or two, feel like the moisture has been sucked out of your skin or you've totally lost your glow, it's time to ramp up your skin care routine. Spring is the perfect time to begin a new fresh routine especially if you don’t have one or if the one you’ve been using forever isn’t creating the change you’d like to see.
Start today with these 5 healthy self-care tips.
1. Think simply. Skin care doesn't need to be complicated.
2. Go gently as you cleanse. Are you using a gentle non-foaming cleanser?
3. Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! This means inside and out. Go grab a glass of water or make a hot tea and start sipping!
4. Nourish skin with potent and safe botanicals.
5. Moisturize with skin products that are effective against dryness.
