Fall has arrived and your skin & hair are probably fried from all your summer fun. Who do we turn to for solid beauty advice to carry us clear through the next season and beyond? Lauren & Vanessa (from their namesake salon Lauren+Vanessa) sat with us and shared ten must-have tips to get your routine back on track…keeping you on top of your gorgeous game.
TOP TEN BEAUTY TIPS FOR THE MILLENNIAL GAL
- SPF: SPF is number one. No matter if your 18 or 34, SPF is your best friend. If you start young you will look great when your older. We love EltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40.
- No drug store shampoo or conditioner: Drug store shampoo’s are filled with many unnecessary chemicals that can dry out your hair and fade your color. Always follow your cut and color with professional products. This will help keep your hair healthy and your hair color vibrant. We love Oribe’s shampoos and conditioners because the line has something for everyone.
- 18-25 is when you can play: Trends are not for everyone but when your young you have the freedom to experiment so have fun and be daring!
- Less is more age 27-35: Again, trends are not for everyone. Find a beauty routine that works for you. As we always say- Think timeless.
- Facials and masks: Make sure to visit your esthetician every 4-6 weeks. In between appointments do a mask at home.
- Take your makeup off before bed EVERY night: No ifs, and’s or buts!
- Under eye cream is a MUST: Our favorite is Caudalie Anti-wrinkle eye & lip cream. To look forever young, use both day and night.
- Diet: Youthful hair and skin starts within. What we put in our body shows in our skin and hair. “Eat Pretty” by Jolene Hart is a great book to help guide you in the direction of beauty inside and out.
- Vitamins: Vitamins help fight free radicals, especially Vitamin C! Vitamin C helps maintain collagen, promote nail growth and keep your hair strong. Always consult with your doctor first.
- Moisturize: Moisturize your body every single day and night. Our favorite is The body creme by La Mer.
