Jergens Natural Glow: My Spring Beauty Routine, Plus $500 Giveaway!

Jergens Natural Glow and She Speaks wanted to know how I change things up for my Spring Beauty Routine. I am a big believer in changing products with the season, what works in the cold of winter is not necessarily the best thing for long, warm Spring days.

One of the big changes is my mo moisturizer in cold, windy winter my skin needs extra protection from a heavier day cream. But as Spring arrives its far too heavy and can lead to breakouts and too much shine. I start using light moisturizers made for the warmer months and I really love tinted versions with SPF saves a ton of time and add a bit of gloss and mascara and I am done.

I also add highlights in the Spring to brighten up my look, and I start using color protection shampoo and conditioners to protect my new color. Add a weekly face and hair mask and I can keep my sensitive, combo skin from freaking out during the rapid weather changes of Spring in the Pacific NW.

Nothing says Spring like some fun new tops or dresses. I like to find a few fun, affordable sundresses that I can dress up with heels and accessories or throw over a swimsuit with sandals for a day by the pool. Pedicures are a must this time of year with toes that are on display in  heels, wedges  and sandals I make sure I take the time take care of my feet and keep my toes painted a bright pink or coral for Spring.

 My Spring beauty is definitely about saving time and keeping things light and easy! Do you change your routine up for Spring? What is one of the first things you purchase to get ready for the warmer weather?

Jergens makes it easier than ever to glow with the NEW Natural Glow Moisturizers that provides great color, year-round, without the sunless tanner odor.

Summer Skin Secrets: How to look good naturally

These days, many people rely on facelifts to get rid of lines and wrinkles or microdermabrasion to perfect their complexion. Both surgical and non-surgical treatments are widely available, but there are other ways to get a radiant glow – naturally.

Make your own facemask
With so many lotions and potions lining the shelves it can be easy to spend a fortune on expensive beauty products. This can leave you short of pocket, however, so why not whip up your own organic facemasks instead and invite your friends round for a pamper session? There are many recipes you can try, but the mashed banana and oat variety will soften and exfoliate your skin at the same time.

Raid your kitchen cupboards
If you’re looking for a long-lasting moisturiser than will nourish and condition your skin, olive oil is ideal. It’s used throughout the world to combat spots, stretch marks and frown lines, so raid your kitchen cupboards and see what you can find. If you don’t have any oil, butter is a great alternative for dry or flaky skin but you might have to warm it up slightly before applying. Combine it with sugar, salt of baking powder for a natural exfoliating product and you’ll feel great it no time!

Use tea to combat puffiness
Most of us enjoy a hot brew in the morning, but did you know tea is also good for your eyes? That’s right, refrigerated tea bags are thought to cool and soothe the skin and are believed to get rid of any puffiness you may be experiencing. The tannin in black tea is said to drain excess fluid while the anti-inflammatory properties of camomile can leave you fresh faced, so it’s worth experimenting if you have the time. Hate tea? Then a few slices of cucumber can work just as well.

Stay out of the sun
With summer rapidly approaching, many people will head outside in the hope of getting a tan. Sure, a bit of colour can be attractive, but it’s essential to protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays. You don’t want to end up with lines, wrinkles or even skin cancer when you’re older so whack on some cream with a high SPF factor and cover up when possible. If you want to improve your pale complexion without putting yourself at risk, simply mix loose mineral powder with organic sun cream and rub it over your face.

As the warm spell gets nearer, many people will opt for liposuction or a breast enlargement to improve the chest area, but you’ll have the secrets to look good naturally.
