Why is our skin stressed out?!? We as a Nation are getting more and more stressed therefore we are eating poorly, working long hours, having more sickness in our families due to the stress bleeding into our home life, rushing around with no time to wash our faces, and being in recirculated air filled buildings most of the time.
Ahhhhh.... what are we to do?
I cannot help with the stress of course because it is there and to quote one of my fav movies Christmas Lampoon "I don't know what to tell you we are all in misery", but I do know that we all need PT, personal time. EVERYONE needs those few moments to yourself locked in your bathroom EVEN men! How can you find time for it? Make and appointment on your calendar just like you would to go to a business meeting or to meet a friend or family member. Put it on the books now because you are not getting less stressed and you are not getting younger so let's all make a date with our at home DIY spa!
Prepare to use your time wisely. Go to your local store where you purchase your everyday "luxury" items to pamper yourself or if your appointment with your DIY spa is several days away order some really glam pampering products online!
Here is a list of Allure's Best of Beauty that you can try. I always try a few products from their list every year when I run out of certain products and it never has disappointed me!
Here are some of the products I am loving right now:
Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream - great way to hydrate those stressed out cuticles that we give little attention
Gel Nail polish kit - AHHHHmazing they really do last more than two weeks and this kit will save you the $$$ going to a salon to get it done!
Alba Unpetoleum - Great for hydrating tired stressed out skin! Only use if you are getting ready for bed or not planning on putting on makeup for a while because this stuff is thick and really plumps up your skin for a nice glow. Make sure you clean your skin really well before using this as well.
Burt's Bees has some great natural products and I love to scrub my face/neck at least one time per week, if not more, with this just to remove any build up in my pores plus get a refreshing clean feeling!
In my opinion you always can relax with a bath so get some awesome bath products from LUSH! They will make your bath smell like a dream! This is one of my faves the LUSH bath bomb in twilight (crazy name I know) but it is wonderful:
Tons of other products I love, but these are a few to get you thinking about what you might want to try! These are low end products so if you wanted to try them they will not break the bank either which might cause you to have less stress about trying to relax!
Happy less stressed Monday!! :)
