Feed the body, Feed the Skin and Hair
I bet you didn't realize that what you eat in your diet can have a profound effect on the health and appearance of your skin and hair. The skin is the largest organ of the body and it needs specific nutrients to keep it functioning properly. An added bonus is that these same nutrients are also good for our hair as well. The skin is like a mirror of our overall health and well-being. If our skin is reflecting issues like rosacea, psoriasis, eczema or acne, the problem might be in your diet. Stop thinking about your skin like a covering for your internal organs and start thinking about it as the most absorbent point of entry in the body. Covering the skin in lotions, sunscreens, cosmetics, exfoliants, or cleansers can be beneficial, but nourishing the skin with a good diet is your first line of defense against these skin conditions. Consult the professionals at Lofty to help you to maintain a good balance of beneficial skin foods in your diet. Schedule a consultation today and find out what you might be missing. Remember, change in the body is slow. Don't expect a miracle to happen the first week you make a change. Many times it takes up to 90 days before a change in diet is reflected in the skin. |
Here's a tip I heard about for chapped winter lips. After brushing your teeth, rinse the brush thoroughly and then gently brush your lips to invigorate circulation. Apply a light coat of The Naked Bee lipbalm afterward to seal in the moisture. Be sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water which we tend to forget in winter because we perspire less.

What's Up With RED Lipstick Colors?
How do I choose the right shade for me? 
Whether light, dark, orangey, or slightly berry-toned, red lips are popping up all over. That's because red lips never go out of style. Looking for tips to help you get this look right? Time to feel confident about stepping out in red. When it comes to the most complementary way to wear red lips, it's all about the undertones. Are you cool or warm? If you're warm with olive or yellow undertones, choose a lipstick with orange or brown tones. (Think brick red or fire-engine red.) If you're cool with pinkish or reddish undertones, pick a red lipstick with blue or pink tones. Don't try to match your lipstick to your red clothing. Red is a hard color to duplicate, and you can end up looking overdone.
