Summer A Glow Glow

In Show Biz you HAVE to look your best. 

You have to have glowing skin, and have a healthy instrument (your body & mind) for longevity. 

It's a part of the job. 

So let's invest a little in ourselves shall we my fellow actors? (Non Actors are allowed to look fab too, of course)

A little word association: I say "glow" and you say..."skin", right? 

Radiant skin is a sign to yourself and to the world that you are healthy, blood is flowing, and joy is in your life. A glowing complexion needn't be flawless, it should just look well cared for. 

Let's face it, we all wanna appear "lit from within" 

Today's blog is about giving you tips to help you achieve that glow. 

So let's get to it! 

FACE

Simple as this: Moisturized skin reflects light. Nourish it and the "glow" will come. 

Arbonne's RE9 Masque

Exfoliate A luxurious cream can't do a thing slathered onto flaky skin. Dead skin cells have an uneven surface that dulls the complexion. Our favorite exfoliates are Arbonne's Intelligence Thermal Fusion Masque & RE9 Cellular Renewal Masque. 

Nourish Spread a dime sized dollop of cream over your face and neck. Skin has five layers, so rub in the product for two full minutes in a circular motion to help it penetrate and improve skin's circulation. We love Arbonne's Anti Aging RE9 System that has no mineral oil so it sinks into and nourishes your skin. 

Enhance Sometimes you need a booster shot of bronzing powder. Wait at least five minutes after moisturizing, then apply loose bronzer where the sun would hit naturally: the cheekbones, forehead, bridge of the nose, and chin. Finish with a dusting on the clavicle. Greatest bronzer ever - you guessed it, Arbonne. Non toxic and best of all non glittery. ;) 

BODY

Spread the love - glow from tip to toe

Scrub The matrix of dead skin cells is thicker on the body than it is on the face. The most effective way to remove those cells is to brush your skin while its dry. A dry body brush is ideal before stepping into the shower. Or, you can use a sea salt scrub with essential botanical oils. To use, step into the shower to get wet, then scrub the sea salt from head to toe and rinse with warm water. No need for lotion after that, your skin will drink it in! Our fav is Arbonne's Lemon & Coriander Awaken Sea Salt Scrub.

Soak A warm bath is one of the best ways to get water into your cells, leaving them plump and radiant. Adding mineral salts revs your skin and body, opening up congested skin to healing toxin removing minerals. Sprinkle some of Arbonne's Sea Source Detox Mineral Soak in a bath that is nice and warm at least once a week.

Hydrate For dewy skin, reach for creams and oils right after the shower or bath, while the skin is damp to lock in moisture. Massage the oils and lotion into your skin to get your blood flowing, it brightens dull skin. 


HEALTH - Sloughing will only get you so far. Most of the effective glow-getters are surprisingly easy....water, diet, exercise 

Diet A recent study from the UK found that eating plenty of fruits and vegetables each day imbues skin with a glow that's more attractive to others than a tan. Thanks to the carotenoids, a class of antioxidants that gives foods such as sweet potatoes and tomatoes their colorful hue. Basic rule: Eat a colorful diet, have a skin that glows. Eat a color-less diet. Look bland. Don't take our word for it. Try it. 

The Big O  Arbonne's Omega 3 Plus, are clear vegan capsules filled with flaxseed oil and vegetarian DHA derived from algae, providing essential omega-3 fatty acids, who's anti inflammatory effect within the body leads to calmer skin and a healthy glow. 

EXERCISE

Last but not least, glowing bodies are active bodies. When you move more, you breathe more, which brings added oxygen and nutrients to every cell. It also stimulates the bodies lymphatic system (charged with the unsexy task but critical task of waste removal) So you'll rid the body of all that gunk that's bogging you down and blocking your glow. 

Yoga While any exercise will help - Yoga, with its deep breathing, twists, inversions, and heat-building sequences - has first dibs on imparting radiance. It boosts circulation, respiration, and detoxification, and because it emphasizes calm, yoga can sooth the nervous system and settle the mind. (And we could all use that in the entertainment industry, right?) 

So get some face & body cream, do some yoga, drink some water, have some veggies and take a bath. 

And let us know when that glow starts to show! 

Namaste, my friends
