Enjoy your hot cup of java every morning to get you going? You probably think about the toll that can take on your pearly whites, but have you considered the effects on your skin health? There are many opinions out there and you may want to check out this article to see what it says about the topic. To summarize: Scientific research shows that coffee may actually be good for your skin’s health! Please remember to stay extra hydrated when you drink caffeine products, as they naturally will dehydrate the skin and it will not look the best. Another article mentions that a study showed coffee intake may increase longevity as the study participants who consumed 2-6 cups per day had a 10-15% less risk of dying than their non-coffee drinker counterparts. So, there aren’t just skin benefits and you might not feel as guilty about your daily habit now!
As always, we love looking at ways to keep your whole look fresh and fun! Here are some trends you might consider embracing for fall!
- Statement Collars: This look makes any outfit look polished! You can even find embellished collars on Etsy or how-to instructions online to make a DIY one for yourself! We are talking ultimate creativity here!
- The Navy Blue Peacoat: A good trend to invest in — your peacoat will never look out of style.
- Wine colors: Dark red and purple shades are a big statement this season — especially the shiny burgandy coat. Brick reds look great on warm skin tones, for example, while bluish plums look great on cool ones.
- Wear textures: Don’t go head to toe in texture, but add some fun interest to your outfit with texture. Think cashmere, angora or maybe mohair.
- Pointy pumps: These look fab with a dress or cropped pants but don’t pair them with wide-legged pants or you are just asking for trouble!
- Unlikely pairings: Purses are making statements this season with unlikely mixes of hardware and fabrics.
How far would you go to protect your face from the sun? Would you surrender your fashion sense and raise some eyebrows of bystanders to guarantee sun protection? Have you heard of the face-kini?
All the rage on the beaches of China, the face-kini is a protective head mask that guards the skin from the sun. (They also protect against insects and jellyfish.) Face-kinis come in a variety of styles, cost less than $5, and are also often paired with full bodysuits. These are becoming increasingly popular, especially this year. If the trend takes off in the US, would you wear one? Chime in and let us know your thoughts? Smart sun protection or creepy?
If you are looking for a more “normal” looking way to protect your delicate facial skin from the sun, stop in to see our selection of sunscreens and fashionable hats that are anything but creepy and definitely won’t make you look like a bank robber. 🙂 Belladerm carries SkinMedica, Obagi, and Revision sunscreen.
