Below is a quick list of some remedies that you can use to calm your face and ease your mind. UH HUH HONEY The easiest remedy that we’ve found is so sweet and simple. One word, one ingredient: honey.

So next time you’re at the store, make sure to pick up some raw honey and spread that sweetness. FACIAL SNACKS Sure, oatmeal and yogurt make for really great … Continue reading →

Beauty sleep is a real thing. While you get your zzz’s, your body promotes blood flow to the skin, giving you a healthy glow when you wake up. When you deprive yourself of sleep, blood flow decreases around your face, leaving your skin ashy or lifeless. It can be hard to get some shut-eye when you are up thinking about work or your busy schedule. Try some of these tips to help you snooze during your busy week so you can wake up rested and radiant.   Stay off your Phone and Laptop Your phone and laptop gives off blue light, which can inhibit production of melatonin (a hormone your brain produces to promote sleep).
