Hey everyone! Sorry I have been MIA, just been super busy with work lately.
Today is Fitness Friday again!
Have you been working out? I fell off the wagon a bit, but started up again this week. These Brazil Butt Lift videos are killer. I wake up everyone morning with a sore tush and thighs. I guess that just means it is working and I am on my way to a new bum! Woo hoo!
I found this Holiday Workout from the ladies of
Tone It Up.
These women are just fantastical and their workouts are awesome. Plus, they're super HOT! I have been wanting to get the plan for ages and it is now on my Christmas list (Ahem, Momma- hint hint)! I think I will incorporate this workout into the one I am currently doing to get more cardio. If you haven't already, head over to their website and check them out!!!
Now on to more important stuff- sleeping naked! Ladies, I don't mean sleeping without clothes on. I mean sleeping without your makeup on.
It is so very important to make sure you are taking off all your makeup every night before bed. Whether it's using a makeup remover towelette or a facial cleanser, just be sure you are sleeping naked. There are 5 major reason why you have to make this a must.
via
1. Dirty Pillow Cases- going to sleep with your make up on will probably get your pillow
smudged with mascara and foundation. Well, the stains are only
aesthetic, but they are not the problem. Rather, those makeup stains on
your pillow become a platform for bacteria growth. The bacteria growing
on your pillow will infect your skin and cause breakouts, blemishes, and
even acne.
2. Letting Your Skin Breath- clogged pores are one of the main causes for skin imperfections. In
addition, during the night time the skin repairs itself, so it needs all
the oxygen it can get to do so. Sleeping with your make-up on denies
your skin from oxygen, preventing it from self-repairing, thus causing a
dull and dry looking skin.
3. Sleeping Yourself Young- a good night's sleep is very important to your anti-aging skin care
routine. While you sleep, your skin is also resting and regenerating.Always follow up your cleansing with a hydrating facial cream.
4. Free Radicals- your make-up absorbed lots of pollution, dirt, and residues from the
environment during the day. Removing your make-up before you go to sleep
means that you are washing away all that pollution and free radicals
that cling to your skin and are harmful to your skin's health. Free
radicals can make your skin age faster and cause cellular damage.
5. Taking Care Of Your Eyes- remember to remove your make-up at the end of the day if you care about
the area around your eyes. This area consists of a very delicate skin
that can get easily dehydrated. Dry skin is more prone to wrinkles, and
can lead to premature aging.
I recommend
Biore Makeup remover Towelettes for removing makeup. They are only $6.27 at Walmart!
I also recommend
Olay's Night of Olay Firming Cream. Only $6.47 at Walmart!
$12 a month isn't bad when you think about it. You are saving your face so much. I know you ladies like to stay out late drinking your fancy martinis and wine, and would rather just go to bed than to take makeup off when you get home. I know, I have done it myself. Many times. But I am taking a pledge to Sleep Naked every night. Come take that pledge with me!! Until next time!
XOXO
