The biggest secret to youthful-looking skin: Hydration

Posted on by Nicole Beckley

At the beginning of every new year there’s a push to de-toxify and de-stress. One of the keys to de-toxifying is also one of the biggest secrets to youthful-looking skin: hydration.

Drink those eight glasses

While how much water we need depends on where we live and how active we are, the classic eight glasses a day is a good jumping off point. To make sure you get enough H20, keep a re-fillable water bottle on your desk and keep it filled throughout the day. Drink one bottle in the morning, one at lunch, and one in the afternoon.

Remix your diet

Certain foods can also help keep up our hydration levels. Spinach, watermelon, and other fruits and vegetables can be great sources of water. Easily add in a spinach salad to your lunch or dinner.

Hydrate while you sleep

Overnight, our bodies lose water through respiration (exhaling) and transpiration (sweating). To keep skin hydrated, consider adding a night cream into your daily routine. Dry, dehydrated skin can be more prone to show lines and wrinkles, while moisturized skin helps maintain your youthful look.

Raise a glass – of water!

3 Beauty Resolutions To Make In 2015

Posted on by Nicole Beckley

With just a few days before a brand new year, it’s a great time to make a few beauty resolutions for 2015.

  • Evaluate Your Daily Routine – The new year is a great time to take a look at the things you do to look and feel your best each day. We can all fall into certain habits – forgetting to wash our face before bed, neglecting to put on sunscreen, not drinking enough water – but we can take stock of these and make some changes to feel even better in the future. Take a minute to write down how you start and end each day, and one small change you could make, like drinking an extra glass of water.
  • Give Your Skin The One Thing It Needs – There’s usually one thing more than anything else that our skin is calling out for. For those of us with dry skin, it’s extra moisturizer. For those of us with thinner skin, it’s an extra dose of collagen. Does your skin feel overly dry? Are dark under-eye circles routinely a problem? Assess what your skin might be the most in need of and add in a product solution to your daily routine.
  • Say No To Sun Spots – While the sun can seem like our best friend, especially while we’re logging ski or beach time, it can really take a toll on our skin and contribute to premature aging. Make sure that your daily moisturizer has an SPF, and don’t forget to apply it to your hands as well as your face. To decrease the look of sun spots, keep an eye out for products like Merlot’s Hand Cream Plus Sanitizer, which can help fade already-established dark spots.

Just a few simple changes can have a big impact on how we feel each day. Start the new year off by looking and feeling better than ever.

What makes Merlot Moisturizer a natural wonder?

Posted on by Nicole Beckley

merlot moisturizer, aloe vera, grape seeds, natural skin careWhen we talk about the Merlot Skin Care line’s signature product, Merlot Moisturizer, we often talk about one thing: natural antioxidants. These natural antioxidants work to protect the skin against environmental damage (smog, pollution, harmful UV rays) and stress.

Where do these antioxidants come from? Merlot products use red grape seeds. What’s so special about red grape seeds? Found to be 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 25 times more powerful than Vitamin C, red grape seed antioxidants fight against free radicals – the particles that routinely damage our skin.

By providing antioxidant protection, Merlot Moisturizer helps inhibit the appearance of aging, providing a more youthful, healthy look.

In addition to grape seed extract, the Merlot Moisturizer formula utilizes aloe vera to help protect skin from UV damage. Aloe vera works to moisturize and hydrate skin while offering cooling and soothing properties. Hydrated skin is healthy skin!

Merlot Moisturizer has become a go-to product for those with sensitive skin thanks to its fragrance-free and non-irritating formula. Matricaria Flower (also known as chamomilla recutita) helps reduce redness. Its anti-inflammatory properties keep Merlot Moisturizer working gently and effectively.
