6 Simple Tips to Help Dry Skin

Moisturizing is key to care for dry skin.

If you have dry skin, here are some simple tips you can try.

Sometimes it feels like no matter what I do, when I look in the mirror I just look dried out and older then I really am.

If you have dry skin, here are some simple tips you can follow to help.

Sometimes it feels like no matter what I do, when I look in the mirror I just look dried out and older then I really am. It’s not just about how my skin looks, it’s also about how it feels when it’s dry. I’m not sure if having dry skin is worse than having oily skin, or vice versa. On average, people with dry skin tend to have fewer blemishes and breakouts than someone with oily skin. But we do tend to look a little bit older when our skin is dry. People who have oily skin tend to look a bit younger, but unfortunately, they can have more blemishes and breakouts and have larger-sized pores.

Try a HIIT-style workout this holiday season.

Think you’re too busy to squeeze in a holiday workout? Think again. Here’s how to find the time.

You’re busy, it’s the holidays, and it’s hard to find time to fit your workout into your busy party and travel schedule. However, with a little planning and motivation, I’m sure you can find the time to get your heart rate up and keep your fitness goals on track.

Keeping a food journal — Create good habits to achieve your goal.

Here are some effective principles to follow when you’re trying to change your bad eating habits.

The holiday season often comes with stress and sleepless nights. It’s the perfect time to focus on a little rest and relaxation in the name of beauty.

It’s supposed to be “the most wonderful time of the year.” It’s a time to give back to the community, exchange gifts and prepare our favorite family meals. It sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, this particular time also comes with stress and sleepless nights. There is so much to do and never enough time to do it. Jam-packed parking lots and stores, endless holiday cards to send and searching for gifts for the ones you love can take a toll. And with all of the holiday parties we have to attend, looking our best can be a challenge.

Weight loss and weight maintenance are really two sides of the same coin. In reality, the habits that help you drop pounds are the same ones that will help you maintain your weight loss. After all, losing weight isn’t really considered a success unless you manage to keep it off.

If you ask people who have successfully lost weight how they did it, they’ll often say that losing weight is the easy part – but keeping it off is a lot tougher. Sometimes, you’re so focused on weight loss that you’re paying more attention to the end results – like what the scale says or how your jeans fit – than you are on establishing new habits. But once you’ve reached your goal, it’s easy for those old habits to sneak back up on you.

Let me motivate you to keep working out by sharing three important reasons why you need to keep moving this holiday season.

The holiday season is a busy time for most people. As we try to navigate all of the extra responsibilities, workouts tend to be the first thing to get cut from the schedule.

But what if I told you that this is quite possibly the worst time to slack off? And that by becoming sedentary during this time of year, you may start off the new year with excess weight to lose and diminished fitness levels?
