How Much Does Your Stress & Diet Affect Your Skin
The times I notice a change with the way my skin looks and feels is when I’m stressed. Naturally when I’m stressed I don’t eat as well hence my diet changes. I don’t have the time to have a nice balanced dinner – instead I grab something fast on the go which is not as healthy or enough. Stress can come when working longer hours and also when I travel. My skin begins to feel dry, it looks deflated the opposite of plumped, and ashy grey i.e. lacks glow. Also not drinking enough water can make a huge difference on my skin, it makes it feel dry and tight. In a nut shell my skin can be sensitive.
I took the Simple Skin Health Consultation and I would like to share with you my Simple product recommendations. Here are the results in full.

A re-cap from the quiz I took with Simple and their skincare tips tailored to me by Dr. Jennifer Segal – Simple Dermatologist:
Proper Eye Makeup Removal Technique
I love my smoky eye and eye makeup. But when the day or party is over it’s time to take it all off. Especially at night I don’t want all that black mascara, eye liner and shimmery eye shadow on my pillow. The quickest, most effective, and gentle way I like to remove my eye makeup is with Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes, which cleanse, refresh and nourish skin.
Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes are a quick, gentle, and effective way to remove eye makeup
How To Remove Eye Makeup-My Technique
I take one wipe and use it to remove eye makeup from one eye. I use one separate wipe for each eye, I don’t mix. These Simple facial wipes are super wet, fragrance free and gentle. The magic word here is super moist without being oily and this is why these wipes stand out from the rest.
Stay Hydrated
My favorite drink in the world is no doubt water. It’s what really quenches my thirst, tastes good, and is good for my soul and skin. I try drinking water throughout the day as much as I can and if I skip sometimes when I’m too busy or when traveling I immediately notice the difference in my skin. My skin and lips get dry and uncomfortable and overall my energy level goes down. I even break out and my skin gets super sensitive. To avoid dehydration I simply look after myself, with a good diet, lots of water, and of course the right skincare.

The following simple skincare products help my skin stay hydrated, soothed and glowing. I use Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash in the shower, which moisturizes and cleanses my skin. This is a very gentle cleanser perfect for the days you want to give your skin a break from exfoliating.
How to bring dry flaky skin back to life
My top skincare secret for getting my sensitive skin smooth, soft, and glowing is with 2 very easy steps: exfoliating then hydrating. The reason I exfoliate my skin is because without it my skin feels dry, flaky, and even looks darker or ashy to me i.e. dull. All the dead skin on the surface are dulling my complexion and blocking any good moisture to penetrate. All in all, a bad skin day. The sensitive skincare products from Simple Skincare make getting my skin smooth and often sensitive skin back to life not a wish, but a reality. Here’s my video with a step-by-step how-to:

Simple Skincare Products I Just Can’t Live Without
Not sure if you knew by now but I love makeup and I like to wear it everyday. I’m one of those gals that doesn’t really have a day-to-night makeup I really love dramatic makeup as soon as I wake up. The smoky eye, the perfectly blushed cheeks, flawless skin, and of course the lip gloss. I do know however that great looking makeup can only look good on great looking skin. And my go-to skincare products are by Simple Skincare.
L to R: Smoothing Facial Scrub, Soothing Facial Toner
Great makeup starts with great skincare
For me the biggest thing that makes my skin radiant is when my skin is exfoliated and very hydrated. But there is a catch 22 here, because exfoliating my skin using the wrong skincare products can also sometimes irritate my skin or the product can be too harsh.
