Everyday Beauty Rituals That Improves Your<br />

Health And Wellness<br />

By Hannah<br />

What do we expect<br />

to see when we<br />

look at ourselves in<br />

the mirror every morning?<br />

Yeah….we expects to see<br />

ourselves look better than<br />

we were yesterday! That’s<br />

why there is always a look of<br />

disappointment when we do<br />

not see what we expect! Oh yes,<br />

there are those days…<br />

The truth is ‘your health<br />

reflects on your skin’ and<br />

perhaps vice-visa. So the<br />

healthier you are internally, the<br />

more beautiful the exterior. It’s<br />

a win win. And when we talk<br />

about health, we also mean<br />

stress levels and happiness.<br />

Our skin shows those, too.<br />

What this means is that the<br />

everyday beauty measures we<br />

take affect our health one way<br />

or the other, isn’t that lovely<br />

beauties? Wow, it sure is!<br />

However, while we will never<br />

cease to slather ourselves with<br />

lovely oils and use natural<br />

minerals to perfect our<br />

complexions, there are more<br />

ways to enhance our beauty…..<br />

and health naturally.<br />

Here are some of my favorite<br />

tips shared by Hope Freije.<br />

Enjoy!<br />

drinking water<br />

Don’t roll your eyes. Maybe you<br />

knew this was coming, but it<br />

has to be said. Dehydration makes<br />

wrinkles more apparent and keeps<br />

your body from doing the things it<br />

needs to do.<br />

Sweat It Out<br />

About 20% of the body’s<br />

elimination occurs through<br />

perspiration. Keep things<br />

circulating by sweating. Sit in a<br />

sauna, exercise, or do both!<br />

Bikram yoga, cycling, or going<br />

for a jog are great ways to work<br />

up a sweat. Do whichever suits<br />

you! Make sure to wash your face<br />

before working out, especially<br />

if you wear makeup. When you<br />

Drink Water<br />

Drink water slowly throughout<br />

the day, every day. If you try to<br />

compensate by chugging a gallon of<br />

water after dinner, you won’t absorb<br />

it all (and you’ll have to get up to go<br />

pee while you should be getting your<br />

beauty sleep!).<br />

If you drink beverages that make<br />

you dehydrated, such as coffee and<br />

alcohol, hydrate before and after to<br />

negate the effects. If you love your<br />

morning coffee, I’m not saying you<br />

should give it up. You brew you! But<br />

challenge yourself to drink a glass of<br />

water first thing in the morning.<br />

The body uses water to cleanse. If we<br />

can’t flush them out that way, they<br />

build up in other places or show up<br />

on our skin.<br />

Get Naked of Make-Up<br />

once in a while<br />

mineral<br />

makeup<br />

Our good pal Kris Carr recommends<br />

going makeup-less one day a week.<br />

This will give your pores a chance to<br />

breathe.<br />

If going without makeup doesn’t sound<br />

fun to you, make sure you use mineral<br />

makeup so your skin doesn’t absorb<br />

toxic chemicals.<br />

sweat, your pores open up and<br />

invite whatever’s around to come<br />

hang out. A.k.a., your makeup, dirt,<br />

and the other remnants of your day.<br />

Shower right after you work out to<br />

avoid reabsorbing everything you<br />

just sweat out.<br />

Exercising also releases endorphins,<br />

and we know being happy makes<br />

you that much more beautiful!<br />

Plus, getting your heart rate up will<br />

give your cheeks some color, while<br />

keeping your heart healthy.
