We are almost half way through the year! Have you kept your New Year’s Resolution? I haven’t been working out like I want to but I have been working towards a healthier lifestyle. After visiting the dermatologist earlier this year, I’ve been taking care of my skin very differently. I recently read a survey taken by women across the top 40 cities nationwide about their skin care. and found their results quite shocking.
The most shocking statistic to me is that 63% of women who were polled know that their stress level affects the health of their skin, yet more than half are not actively trying to reduce it right now. Making a dedicated effort to unplug and unwind can make skin less permeable to external factors like weather and makeup. I get stressed often and there are times that I don’t even know I’m stressed. I get so busy with my daily activities that I miss all the signs. As hard as it is to actually do this, I think all women need to learn to slow down a bit. We live in such a fast paced world that we get caught up and don’t enjoy all the little things and don’t take proper care of our own bodies.
I highly recommend watching this time-lapse video that depicts the potential effects of city living can have on a woman’s face in just 14 days.
I’m completely guilty of putting other things in front of my health but this is the year that all stops. I know taking care of my skin has been one of the easiest things for me to do since it really doesn’t take too much time or effort. Once you make it part of your daily routine, it’s a breeze. One key to taking care of your skin is having great products. As I mentioned in my video, I use Simple Skin Care SPF 15 Sunblock . I’m trying my hardest to make applying sunblock a daily habit. Summer time in Dallas means that the sun will be beating down on my skin for the next 3 months and I want to do everything I can to protect it. I really love that this particular sunscreen is light on my skin and doesn’t have a strong smell to it.

Best habit is to be sure to wash my face before bed – nothing worse than going to sleep with makeup on your face, or skin that isn’t clean! 🙂
Since we spend A LOT of time outdoors, we love products that will help our skin continue to look good. #SimpleSkincare is great for that and even better is that they don’t use harsh chemicals and crazy “mystery” ingredients no one can pronounce!
#SimpleSkin products are fantastic! I mostly use their wipes because they’re convenient to use and travel with (and I do a lot of traveling) and leave my skin feeling refreshed. Your products help keep my skin looking fresh and young.
After going to the #kindtocityskin twitter party I just had enter! Love this brand so much and you were all so kind 🙂
