Are skipping these crucial beauty steps?

We've all been there — skimping on sunscreen, forgetting to floss, not tossing a lipstick after having it for a questionable amount of time. As innocent as it may seem, avoiding these steps regularly can lead to beauty blunders and can even have a negative impact on your health.

Here are some quick simple things we should all be doing regulalry to keep our skin looking radiant.

Exfoliate Regularly

One of the biggest steps in achieving healthy, beautiful skin is using exfoliants such as Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Daily Cleansing Mask or REVERSE Deep Exfoliating Wash in your daily skin care regimen. 

Regular exfoliation helps to improve skin texture and can give your skin an overall radiance.

For dry skin, it helps remove dead skin cells and allows moisturizers to be more effective by penetrating deeper into the skin. For oily skin, it helps unclog pores. It also prevents and removes white and blackheads, helping to keep acne at bay.

Use a Toner

I know, I know...It's one more step to your skincare regimen and we are all busy in the morning trying to rush out the door. However, incorporating a toner such as Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Pore Minimizing Toner (which I looooove) or REVERSE Intensive Brightening Toner into your daily routine helps rid skin of dirt, oil, and impurities that cleansers often leave behind. 

Toners remove cleanser residue and chlorine found in tap water, plus, when the toner is left damp on the skin, your moisturizer will seal in the water and the active ingredient. 

The result is healthier and more hydrated skin.

Wear an SPF Daily

Premature aging, fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and skin cancer are all consequences of skipping sunscreen, and not just on sunny summer days. 

Regular, daily application of sunscreen is vital to helping prevent skin cancer and aging of the skin. 

My favourite daily moisturizer REDEFINE Triple Defense Treatment is a moisturizing treatment with a broad spectrum SPF 30 protection. It contains a clinically proven concentration of powerful peptides to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and visibly firm skin. So you get the benefits of Anti-aging ingredients mixed with sun protection...it's a win-win for your skin!

Toss old make-up:

Not only do dried out mascara bristles tug and pull out eyelashes, but the bacteria growth can cause eye infections and even potentially cause pinkeye. Eeeeewwww.

Bacteria, which can grow on lipstick and lip gloss, can cause mouth sores so it's a good idea to replace your make-up regulalry. For advice on when you should change up your make up read my post Spring has Sprung Time to Clean up your make up bag.
