Beauty Tip #3: Water

 

 

There is no question that the beauty benefits of natural water are endless and vital to the survival of all human beings. However, many of us tend to reach for the more sugary drinks to help quench our thirst instead of nature's number one gift to humanity. The benefits are countless and the importance or water consumption could never be underestimated. So the best thing to do is to drink as much as possible or at least 8 cups per day.

 

Here are some of the most know benefits of drinking water:

 

1. Helps to lose weight

2. Healthy skin

3. Fights infection

4. Get rid of body toxins

5. Healthy heart

6. Prevent joint pains and arthritis

7. Boost energy

8. Prevent constipation

9. Reduce risk of cancer

10. Improves productivity

11. Increase metabolism

12. Relieve fatigue

 

AND ALL FOR ZERO CALORIES!

Beauty Tip #2 - Sunscreen

Perhaps the most important lesson I have learned in regards to my skin is the vital role that the use of sunscreen plays in our daily skincare regimen. It is a step that no woman should skip, wether it is incorporated into your daily moisturizer or not, sunscreen should not be forgotten whenever you are exposed to natural light (yes even if there is no glimpse of the sun for miles ahead). Daily sunscreen application will help delay signs of aging, protect the skin, and help with moisturization. There are so many facial sunscreens on the market these days, the important thing is to find the one that works best for your specific skin type and concerns. I personally have three favourites that I use in rotation depending on the activities I have planned for the day.

1) Amore Pacific Natural Protector SPF 30 

   This is my go-to everyday sunscreen that I apply before my moisturizer and makeup.

2) Dermalogica  Ultra Sensitive Faceblock SPF 25

   I love this for when I have no time for makeup and need to have protection and a little tint. 

3) Eucerin Everyday Protection SPF 30

   This I use whenever I am on vacation on the beach or laying out by the pool.

P.S. You many only and I mean ONLY skip your sunscreen when you have important photographs to take (wedding, engagement, professional profile, etc). This is due to the fact that sunscreen has a reflective   component and will make your pictures not so "picture perfect"!
