Make 2014 Your Year

At the start of every new year it’s easy to get wrapped up in resolutions.  While it’s thrilling to make ambitious plans and set challenging goals, it’s also important to make sure that we take care of ourselves every day.

Whether your goals are to climb Mt. Everest or get a new job, you’ll want to make sure that you’re looking and feeling your healthy best!

Here are some simple ways to stay feeling good daily:

water* Drink more water — One of the best ways to give your skin a thoroughly healthy glow is to make sure you’re hydrated.  Try this — drink a small bottle of water with your breakfast, and then one in the afternoon.  You’ll look and feel better.

* Cleanse your face before bed — Remove the dirt, oils, and stress of the day by cleansing your skin before you go to sleep.  Make sure your makeup gets properly removed and let your pores breathe.  Then you can rest easy.

* Don’t forget the SPF — The sun doesn’t only come out in summer (even though it sometimes feels that way!) — it’s important to protect your skin against UV rays year-round.  Look for products like Merlot Moisturizer that have an SPF built-in.

* Pay attention to your hands — Our hands are one of the places that most notably show our age.  Make sure they stay soft and protected.
