One day you wake up, you look in the mirror, and you wonder when you started looking so old. I don’t mean old like grandma, just older than you thought. These aging signs start creeping up on us all, and before we know it, they smack us in the face. Is there something you can do about them? The answers is YES, I myself have been where you are, I’ve been searching for skin care tips that would help me reduce my wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy skin, but most of them failed to deliver. I have done a lot of research, and I’ve tried a lot of things, and I have uncovered 3 common sins that pretty much everyone is making that are not getting the results they want, and here they are:

1). Neglecting Diet – Eating a healthy diet should be the foundation of your skin care regime. Your diet should contain A LOT of fruits, and vegetables. They are the ideal food for the human body, and they will not only make your skin glow, but also supercharge your health. Avoid all those processed junk foods, they might be hard to give up, but in the end, do you want to look good, or do you want to eat?

2). Saying No to Exercise – I can hear you! If you think exercising is boring, then you just haven’t found the right exercise form yet. I used to jog, and that was incredibly boring, so I didn’t do it that much. Then I found martial arts, and I love it. I do it anywhere from 3-7 times a week, and not only is my fat melting, but my skin is glowing as well!

3). Not Finding Natural Skincare Products – This is one of the skin care tips that made the biggest difference for me. A big sin made by most people is not putting in the time to research, and finding completely pure skincare products. Most skincare products contain chemicals that are seriously harming your skin. The ingredients in it don’t matter if it contains unnatural ingredients that are toxic to you. With all that said, those are my skin care tips, and those are the sins I see people making. If you don’t completely understand how you can avoid these, I can help you.  Do you want to learn more about what I do to keep my skin looking young, and healthy?

Does your hair have seasonal affective disorder (SAD)? If so, you’re not alone. The bleak winter weather can wreak havoc with hairstyles, leaving you with a fraying nest which is more Winehouse than Cole. This is nothing short of a disaster – you need your hair to look shiny, healthy and full of life for all those Christmas and New Year parties! Look after your hair in the winter with proper hair care and some good quality hair care products, and your hot locks will set the tone for your Christmas period look, getting you off to a good start when it comes to making the most of the holiday season. Leave it to chance and you could find all those carefully selected outfits ruined by a disobedient barnet.

Here are the top 5 winter hair care tips to keep your hair well-behaved for winter.

1). Condition well:-One of the main problems with winter is that it can strip the hair of moisture. It’s therefore vital to use hair care products which will replenish that moisture and a good conditioner is the best place to start. Along with using the right type of moisturizing conditioner for your hair (ask your stylist which hair care products are best for your hair type), treat your hair with an intensive conditioning treatment twice a week. For best results, slather on the conditioner and wrap your hair in a towel for ten minutes – this creates a humid environment, allowing the conditioner to penetrate the hair properly.

2). Rinse with cold water:-Rinsing with cold water after washing out hair care products is a good way to help lock in the moisture from your conditioner. It also gives added shine to the hair.

3). Don’t go outside with wet hair:-Going outside with wet hair in winter can lead to the hair freezing and possibly breaking, so try to make sure your hair is dry and protected before you leave the house. If you’re going out in the cold weather, you also need to be wary of hats. If you want to wear a hat, make sure it fits properly and clean your hats regularly. Wearing a tight hat can lead to limp, greasy hair due to overworked sebaceous glands.

4). Avoid heating the hair:-Any extreme temperature can lead to hair damage, so icy cold weather and central heating in winter is a troublesome combination for hair care, robbing moisture and increasing static. Try not to overuse any hot items on the hair in winter. Blow dryers and curling tongs, for example, can dry out the hair. Limit use of your hairdryer and, when you do use it, use a cool setting. This will take longer but it will be far less likely to contribute to the winter damage of your hair.

5). Don’t shampoo too often:-Winter weather and central heating will dry your hair meaning you need to shampoo less often at this time of year. Try to leave longer between washes – at least a day – and the natural oils will help prevent the hair drying out. When you do wash, use moisturising hair care products to help reduce dryness. Now – time to get ready for that party!
