Trusted Health Products
When you're shopping for beauty products, it can be overwhelming with such a large selection in stores and online. To make it worse, many creams and potions are designed to entice you with pretty colors and fragrances that do nothing beneficial. So-called miracle ingredients promise revolutionary solutions for acne, wrinkles, dry and aging skin. Staying beautiful shouldn't have to be a science experiment, so here are six simple products that are actually good for you.
Quality Moisturizers
Dry skin anywhere on your body can be a serious problem. Not only does it feel awful, but it can exacerbate the look of wrinkles and cause skin to crack. Drinking water can help to a certain point, but you also need to have a quality moisturizer for both your face and body. The key is to find a natural product that is free from parabens or any long list of ingredients you can't pronounce. Stick to products made with coconut oil, aloe or shea butter and for your face, opt for fragrance-free.
Sunscreen
If you could take only one product to a desert island, you'd pick sunscreen, so there's no excuse not to use it! Harmful UV rays are the worst things possible for your skin, putting you at risk for skin cancer and premature wrinkling. Luckily, sun damage is highly preventable. SPF protection is found in moisturizers, foundations and even lipsticks. Hair products that contain sunscreen keep your color from fading and protect your scalp. Keep a bottle of sunblock in your car, too, as you're exposed to sun for long periods of time.
Dermal Repair Supplements
One of the best things you can do to stay beautiful is to nourish yourself from the inside out. A properly formulated supplement with healthy dermal repair complex ingredients will take your beauty regimen to a completely new level. These supplements will combat the poor nutrition that can actually make you look older. Not only do they fight signs of aging on your skin by improving elasticity, they also strengthen your hair and nails. Taking a supplement requires little effort for all the benefits you get.
Face Primers
If you haven't experimented with a face primer, you probably wonder what all the fuss is about. Much like a paint primer, a makeup primer preps the surface of your skin and ensures that your products go on flawlessly. If you have dry skin, a primer will keep foundation from settling into fine lines. It also makes pores disappear right in front of your eyes. Best of all, you don't have to spend a lot of money for a good primer, and can get great results whether you opt for a department store or drugstore brand.
Body Scrub
Another inexpensive beauty product you should always have on hand is a body scrub. Coming in a variety of brands and scents, a body scrub only needs to be used a couple of times a week. The exfoliating action aids in the removal of dead skin that makes you look and feel dull, and even helps you absorb moisturizer better. Scrubs can be used on both your body and face, and will leave you looking noticeably softer and more radiant.
Earth-Friendly Cosmetics
You've heard that less is more, especially when it comes to cosmetics. Trimming down your stash of makeup in lieu of more earth-friendly products is not just easier to handle, but ecologically sound, too. Instead of buying more tubes and bottles than you'll ever use in a lifetime, select sustainable items with minimal packaging and ones not tested on animals. Keeping your look beautifully simple is good for you, the environment and your pocketbook.
The Basics
When you think of all the money you've spent trying to find elusive magic elixirs that just end up in a drawer, going back to basics makes sense. When you commit to products that fortify, protect and allow your natural attraction to shine through, you'll never need anything else again.
