During the sleep your skin works overtime to repair itself from the day’s stresses so this time period provides the perfect background for rejuvenation.

Nevertheless, what ingredients should you look for in a good firming moisturizer? Aim for creams that contain ginseng, seaweed and caffeine extract to help keep your skin toned and youthful looking.

Quick Tip: Forgot to moisturize with your firming cream last night? You can derive the same benefits with application in the morning after you have showered. Problem solved!

Beauty Quickie: You may need a cup of joe in the mornings to feel somewhat human, but did you know those little brown beans are great for your skin too?

We See You Sun!

When most people think of sun damage the first thing that may come to mind is their skin. However, it is not just your skin you need to be worried about when it comes down to the sun’s harmful rays. The sun literally sucks the moisture out of our hair like a straw in a soda pop can.

Therefore, after prolonged exposure your tresses can begin to look like a character straight out of the Wizard of Oz… straw. To help your locks maintain moisture and lustrous shine you need to wear or use materials to shield them. Hats, scarves and umbrellas are great stylish accessories to get this task done. Also, by styling your hair in a braid or bun can help to protect delicate ends from getting damaged.

Summer Hair Inspiration: Rihanna never goes wrong in the hair or personal style department. Whether loose or curly RiRi shows that a chignon can be flirty and fun!
