Move over, summer -- a new school year is coming! Starting a new school year can be stressful for kids and moms. As school bells ring, so do early-morning alarm clocks, bringing shorter autumn days and hectic schedules of school functions, lunches and sports activities, meaning less time for moms' beauty routines.
Don't despair! Despite your shortened beauty routine, you can look better than ever with our easy shortcuts for beautiful skin, shiny hair, effortless makeup and a whiter smile.
Golden Glow - Moms slather 50+ sunblock on their kids, so why not do the same on themselves? Wearing sunscreen daily is one of the most important things you can do to prevent wrinkles. If you want some color, opt for a tinted moisturizer with SPF that will provide sheer, natural coverage while moisturizing your skin. It's important to pick products that multi-task as well as you do.
Smooth, Shiny Hair - Sun, wind, and sea may have left their mark on your hair, but you can easily get your hair back to smooth, shiny mode in time for fall. Start off with a trim to get rid of the split ends that summer has left behind. Save time by shampooing your hair every other day, and have alternative ways to style your hair on hand, such as a braid or ponytail.
Whiter Smile - Did you know that a whiter smile can make your tan appear to last longer? "Keep your teeth their whitest with Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal," says Dr. Apa, New York City Cosmetic Dentist. "The strips temporarily mold and adhere to your teeth, allowing you to easily talk and even drink water for convenient whitening." The secure fit comes off clean after whitening, leaving no mess behind, for a whiter smile that will last 12 months!
Effortless Makeup - When you're running around during the day time, try to go for the "no makeup" look that will leave friends asking what's different. For a dewy glow, dab lip balm on cheekbones, inner eye corners and lips, of course. Also, don't neglect your eyebrows. With a fresh natural look, it's important to have groomed brows to frame your face and add definition.
