How to Get the Softest, Smoothest, Most Radiant Skin Ever

December 8, 2016 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

How to Get the Softest, Smoothest, Radiant Skin!

Those who know me well, know I tend to be a little OCD about weird things, like keeping my remotes nicely organized in a box, demanding a coaster be used if EVER sitting down a drink in my house, and well..don’t even think about touching my car. Being a beauty lover and professional beauty blogger, that OCD definitely extends over into my beauty regiment too and always has, even since I was a young girl.

At a very young age, I was very meticulous about applying lotion right out of the shower. I have always had very dry skin and if my skin ever touched harsh, drying water it had to get drenched in some lotion or body butter immediately afterward or I would be dealing with some super dry, scaly hands, arms, legs, and feet that would have my OCD in full check!  I don’t know if its because of that, or perhaps some good genes (Thanks, Mom!) But I’ve constantly been complimented on how soft my skin is, my entire life! I’ve heard the terms “freakishly soft” more than once. When getting my makeup done professionally, I’ve also been told I have really great, beautiful skin.

I’ve had girlfriends who have picked up on this and would instantly be buzzing for the scoop on how I get my soft, smooth skin. A lot of what I end up telling them is basic common knowledge, but I have a few tips and tricks up my sleeve I’m happy to share too! So read on to get my tips and find out how you can get your best skin!

 

6 Tips for getting the Softest, Smoothest, Most Radiant, Glowing Skin!

  1. Drink lots of water. This is kind of duh, but it seems like a lot of us could use the reminder anyway. I’m certainly not perfect when it comes to drinking it. I have been doing better over the years but still don’t always get my recommended eight glasses of H20 a day! Drink up! Keep a water bottle with you at all times and you’ll remember to drink from it often! I take mine with me everywhere, even in the car!
  2. Get Plenty of Sleep. Again, duh, but worth mentioning. Many of us live on 6 hours or less a night but we should be getting 7-8 hours to get all the many benefits of a well-rested night’s sleep. Lack of sleep almost instantly shows up on your face and can have negative effects on the skin such as making it look more dull, crapey, and of course, giving you those dreaded dark circles and bags under the eyes!
  3. Eat healthfully and get plenty of vegetable and fruit servings a day. Okay, this is the last health one I’m going to mention, but as most of us know, we are what we eat and eating junk food and sugar will not be so flattering on the skin. Those fruits and vegetables along with having nutrients and vitamins that skin loves are also packed with water too which again is helping to benefit the epidermis. Oh, and don’t forget the workouts too! Along with lots of health benefits, skin looks better too when you’re getting in your three and a half hours of physical activity a week!
  4. Get a Better Shave. This one might surprise most, but a bad shave can not just make you look like Chewbacca, but it isn’t doing anything good for your skin either! Lather up with a rich, moisturizing shower cream before shaving, and use a creamy shaving cream when shaving (hair conditioner works too). Ever done the shower shave dance? You know, where you balance on one leg trying to shave the other because there is nowhere to rest your foot while shaving? Not only is it unsafe, but you’re doing your skin no justice by shaving this way either. Get yourself the portable Cotidea Shower Sidekick with pole and platform to place your leg safely on while shaving. It works with any shower, adjusts to your perfect height, leans against the shower wall and locks in place. The shower sidekick not only helps you get a more even, close shave your skin will thank and love you for, but it’s a must-have anytime for safely shaving in the shower! Tip: Don’t forget to follow up your shave with some super moisturizing after-shave lotion!
  5. Along with shaving on the regular, Exfoliate the rest of your body at least once or twice a week. You don’t need to go crazy here, exfoliating only needs to happen a few times a week and you can use a mild sugar or salt scrub in the shower after cleansing to get the benefits of removing the top dead layer of skin to reveal more youthful softer smoother skin that’s been hiding out underneath! Also, be sure not to exfoliate too often as this can be damaging to the skin and have reverse effects! Don’t rub too harshly either. Soft, circles for only a few seconds is all you need to get a great exfoliation!
  6. Moisturize immediately out of the shower! When your skin is still damp, start lotioning up, and cover your entire body. This is key to getting soft, smooth, hydrated skin. Also, be picky about your lotions. Some are not as effective as others and will still leave your skin feeling dry and itchy. My favorite is the Mirada de Provence Aromatic Herbs Nourishing Body Butter, which has got to be the most moisturizing body butter on the planet! I’m amazed with how incredibly hydrating this cruelty-free, natural lotion is and how smooth and soft it leaves my skin feeling afterward too! It is incredibly rich, and my skin gets such a beautiful radiant glow after using! Also, check out their Nourishing Foot Balm infused with rich nutrients, perfect for those dry feet, and the Cleansing Hand Cream which I keep at my desk to use after every time I wash my hands!

While these are only a few tips, a little TLC for skin can go a long way. Keeping skin hydrated is super important in revealing softer, younger looking skin, and keeping a healthy, active lifestyle will also incredibly benefit the body’s largest organ too! Invest in your skin and it will reward you with a beautiful, youthful glow and super soft skin that will be the envy of those lucky enough to get to touch it!

Happy Beautifying!

The Amazing Beauty Benefits of Goat Milk & Shea Butter & A Brand I’m Currently Loving: Aromanice

November 11, 2016 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

Brr it’s getting colder outside, and the weather here in Utah is getting even dryer. My already dry skin has been feeling it and I don’t even want to get started on the frizz and my hair! To combat the dryness, I’m constantly looking for some amazing hydrating products, so I was absolutely thrilled when I came across Aromanice Plus Goat Milk + Shea Butter Bath, Body, and Hair Products! These products are fabulous and so incredibly hydrating! I hadn’t heard of or used goat milk much in the past so I didn’t realize some of its amazing benefits for the skin and hair, but it has certainly got some powerful benefits!

Lecithin which you will find in goat milk provides some amazing hydrating benefits to the skin and hair! Aromanice uses the purest concentrate of goat milk, so these skincare products are incredibly rich in nutrients and antibodies, which in turn help provide gentle nourishment to the skin, while enhancing skin’s elasticity too, making skin look plumper, fuller, younger, and more youthful!

Aromanice also uses shea butter (which is also widely known for its incredibly hydrating properties) as well as their innovative scientific formula which helps to alleviate dryness and restore moisture to the hair and skin.

These awesome hydrating products also have a ton of other helpful benefits to the skin too, such as anti-inflammatory properties, so its great for acne or oily prone skin too as well as all other skin types!

I got to try out the nourishing Shower Cream, Hand cream,  Shampoo, and Body Lotion which all contain goat milk and shea butter for maximum hydrating benefits! Each product is super gentle, absorbed quickly, nourishing, and great for making skin look more youthful too. The shampoo provides a lovely, gentle cleanse, as well balances out the hair, leaves it looking fuller and more voluminous, and seals in the cuticles and repairs and prevents further damage quickly. Each product from this fabulous line smells amazing too!

3 Easy Steps to Beautiful Glowing Skin this Winter

October 12, 2016 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

Of all the things that make our skin dull and dry, the winter season is by far the worst.  From holiday booze to plunging temperatures to cold wind, our skin suffers all season long.  It takes effort and the right ingredients to bring back a natural-looking glow, which comes from skin that is moisturized and smooth enough to reflect light.  Follow these steps to achieve glowing skin this winter:
 
1.  Cleanse with a warm, gentle lather.  Warm water, when paired with a mild, natural body cleanser like beelove’s cleanse & refresh shower gel mildly cleanses and helps restore skin to it’s natural pH.  Made from honey, aloe vera, and coconut, olive, and jojoba oils, this shower gel engulfs you into a sweet, silky lather.
 
2.  Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!  The key to radiant skin is having it be smooth enough to reflect light.  Buff away dryness and dead skin with beelove’s restore polish & glow scrub.  Made from honey and brown sugar, this scrub gently sloughs away dry, dull skin cells, revealing a fresh, healthy glow.
 
3.  Apply topical nutrition and moisturize.  After buffing away dryness, your skin is ready to absorb a rich, moisturizing  nourish & smooth body cream.  Made from honey, vitamin E, evening primrose oil, avocado oil, rosehip oil, and shea butter, t this fab body cream is designed to deeply condition, soften, and tone your skin with full hydration.

Made by the alchemy of bees collecting nectar, pollen, and resins, honey can protect skin by locking in moisture to maintain a healthy glow in the winter months.

Happy Beautifying!

Do You Shave? Then You Need this!

July 7, 2016 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

I love the warm weather and the sunshine, but one thing I could do without during the summer is all that shaving! Yeah I’ll admit, I slack in the winter and put shaving to the side (sorry to the past and present men of my life). But it’s a little hard to get away with it when you’re rocking that tiny little bikini in 90 degree weather!

I love my beauty products and procedures, but I’m lazy and in a way, kind of cheap I guess. I love the idea of going in for regular waxings (especially down there) like many of my friends do, but truth is I’m too lazy to schedule the appointments and go to them (nor do I want to actually pay for them either!), not when I can just pick up the razer and get the job done in 5 minutes.

Yeah there are some perks to shaving for sure, but there are also some really not fun side effects, like rashes, skin irritations, bumps, and those god-awful ingrown hairs! Ugh!

Lady Bump Stopper not only helps get rid of these “Fun” bonuses of shaving (I’m totally being sarcastic here!) but it also is an incredibly moisturizing body lotion fortified with cocoa butter, shea butter, and tea tree oil too. It soothes the skin, has a nice cooling sensation, and smells lovely too! AND this lotion actually inhibits the growth of more hair! Just use up to twice a day, for about 28-30 days to get the maximum benefits. But you don’t have to wait that long necessarily to see results either! Some users report noticing a difference only hours after use!

It is great for all skin types, even sensitive skin as it is super gentle! It makes hair smoother and softer over time, thus making it much easier and faster to shave and remove in the future too!  Using it frequently also shortens the time between shaves as well!

I’ve been using and loving this product the last couple of weeks!

A Lotion that Will Heal Skin Rather than Covering It Up: Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Serum

April 14, 2015 by MyStyleSpot 8 Comments

I have incredibly dry skin, and you can bet that finding a good body lotion that will actually moisturize my skin without leaving it feeling heavy or greasy, is hugely important to me. Especially when it comes to actually healing my dry skin, rather than just covering it up! In fact, I dare say it’s one of the more important things in my beauty routine. I can’t stand looking down at my arms during my work day and noticing dry skin. Especially after applying lotion already once that day! Or even  worse, actually feeling the super dry skin! My hands often feel dry and cracked and I have to apply lotion every time my hands get wet or I will pay the unfortunate dry-skin price!

When I came across Vaseline’s new Intensive CareTM Healing Serum Advanced Relief Body Lotion, I couldn’t wait to give it a try. Vaseline is a widely known brand, and I’ve been very happy with lotions I’ve used from them in the past, so I was super excited to give this new healing serum a try.

If you follow my blog, skincare is probably very important to you, especially when it comes to your face, right? I use a plethora of skin creams, serums, masks, peels, you name it! Anything to get younger looking, softer, healthier looking and feeling skin!

Vaseline genius-ly transferred this idea over to body lotion! The Intensive Care Healing Serum is like a serum you would use on you face after washing, to help lock in moisture and provide anti-aging and healing benefits to the skin. With this fabulous new body serum from Vaseline, continued use will help reverse the dry skin damage that’s been done to your skin and heal it and moisturize it. In fact, it has 10 times the healing power to bring back more youthful, healthier, well-moisturized, softer, smoother skin!

Vaseline uses 3 different powerful ingredients to really lock in the moisture and reverse dry skin damage. A highly concentrated formula of PPAR Activators, Elastomers, and Vaseline Jelly, all work together in this innovative body serum to really moisturize the skin deep, healing it, softening it, and smoothing it along the way! These ingredients have been known to provide advanced healing relief to the face and hair, but now thanks to Vaseline you can get that kind of healing all over your body too!

 

When my Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Serum arrived, I couldn’t wait to try it. Like I said above, moisturized skin is very important to me because I already suffer from very dry skin, and live in an even drier climate! I can sort through body lotions faster than any other product this way, because when you suffer from dry skin, you notice right away whether that body lotion is going to cut it or not. I’ve tried so many different lotion and threw them out after one use because they simply didn’t moisturize my skin, not for longer than a few hours anyway!

The way this Vaseline Healing Serum works is actually quite different from most lotions you will find  on the market. It works at a deeper level, moisturizing and healing skin up to 10 times better.  Most body lotions will immediately hydrate the skin and provide some temporary relief, but after a few minutes, or maybe later on in the day, you will often notice your skin looking dry again or feeling itchy. This is how I tell when to toss a lotion because it’s just not going to work for me! I’m surprised at how often I run into this problem with lotions. That is because most lotions just cover up the problem of the skin’s protective barrier not functioning properly. Vaseline’s Healing Serum will get to the root of the problem and heal the skin from within rather than just masking it by moisturizing the outer layer.

How it works, is the 3 main ingredients in this healing serum lotion from Vaseline work together to replenish skin lipids, moisturizer, boost the skin’s natural renewal cycle, provide a protective barrier to the skin to keep it from getting dry, and will deliver a silky smooth feel to the touch!

When I got to try out this lotion over the last week, I noticed right away how silky, smooth, and luxurious it feels on the skin. In fact, I see why they call it a serum instead of a lotion because it feels more like a serum that you apply to your face. It is light and airy and doesn’t way you down at all. It’s the perfect lotion for those who may have oilier skin too because it doesn’t feel the least bit greasy, thick or heavy! It also makes the perfect body lotion for anyone, especially in the warmer months too when you want products to feel lighter on the skin.

Although it feels like a light, silky-smooth serum, I was blown away with just how incredibly moisturizing it really is. My dry skin felt smooth, soft and moisturized immediately. You can bet that hours later I was looking over my skin to see if I noticed dry patches, but there were absolutely none! My skin felt soft and smooth to the touch, and super moisturized! I also used this on the dry heels of my feet and loved that it instantly made them feel smoother and more moisturized too. This is a really great lotion for every body part!

The lovely light vanilla, rose, and amber scent also leaves you feeling super fresh too. It’s not an overbearing scent, so it pairs lovely with your perfume, but will give you a nice scent if you choose to forgo your favorite fragrance that day too!

I’m absolutely impressed with this healing serum body lotion from Vaseline. I love that I now have a lotion that will get to the root of the problem and really heal my skin rather than just covering up the dryness, only to have it reappear again in a few hours. Vaseline’s Intensive Care Healing Serum leaves my skin completely moisturized and feeling soft and smooth all day long! I haven’t experienced any dryness anywhere in the last week that I’ve been using this amazing super innovative body lotion! I can really feel that it is giving me 10 times the healing and moisturizing power!

If you would like to learn more about this amazing healing serum body lotion form Vaseline, then be sure to check them out today at Vaseline.com. You can also find the Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Serum body lotion in food and drug, and other mass retailers nationwide!

Fabulous Natural Bath and Hair Products You Will Love: Isabella’s Clearly Hair and Body Product Review + GIVEAWAY!

March 24, 2015 by MyStyleSpot 55 Comments

Who doesn’t love some pampering products?! Especially when you can find some really amazing products that not only look and feel

great,

but work too!

I recently found Isabella’s Clearly and I’m completely obsessed with this fabulously chic line of bath,  hair, and skincare products!

Isabella’s Clearly uses natural, safe, and effective products to help you look and feel your very best, both in and out of the tub! They have some wonderful relaxing bath products to choose from, such as the LUXE soothing and relaxing bath salts, made with lovely, and rejuvenating scented essential oils, as well as the CALM Soft Skin Calming Scrub that will make you feel smooth and silky all over!

Isabella’s Clearly uses the ancient practice of using essential oils to create products that clean and soften hair, as well as inspire natural growth in hair too. These oils are also relaxing and calming and make a great product for the bath as well. What I was surprised to learn about when reading Isabella’s story, is that oils can protect the skin from the sun too. (I’ve always wondered how women from centuries ago kept the sun burns away, besides covering up their head with head wraps of course!)

Isabella’s Clearly is a family owned and run business that uses only natural ingredients to help give you what mother nature intended you to have…  healthy,

well moisturized

skin and hair, without the use of all the harsh chemicals and products you find so commonly used in the beauty market today.

I was super excited to give some of these lovely products a try! I’m all about using natural products lately and have dabbled a bit in essential oils over the years, so I was thrilled to see just what these products could do for my skin and body.
