3 Easy Beauty & Wellness Things You Can Start Doing Today That Improve Your Life

Time constraints don’t have to be the reason why you let your self-care take a back seat! This is a list of things you can do RIGHT NOW, that won’t take any extra time out of your day, that will help you look more youthful, lessen your stress, and overall feel better.

Adjust your posture

Shoulders back, core engaged, chin up; that’s the posture we are looking for! Simply checking in with yourself and adjusting your posture from a slouch to upright and engaged is not only great for your neck, back, and body but it also makes your jawline look more defined, your neck less wrinkled, and helps you feel more confident.

Facial Yoga

Facial yoga exercises can be done while sitting on your couch, at your desk, taking public transit, driving, waiting for an appointment, or really any time that works for you.

Facial yoga exercises are different ways you move your face and stretch and strengthen your face and neck muscles to reduce wrinkles and sagging.

There are many tutorials online but this one is a nice one to start with.

Breathing exercises

Breathing exercises are great because you can do them anytime, anywhere. Studies have shown that breathing exercises can reduce stress and anxiety.

There are many different breath exercises for stress and anxiety reduction but my favorite is the 4-4-4 method. This method is where you take a breath in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, and then blow out for 4 seconds and repeat a few times. This slows the body down and helps you to feel more calm.

scrub me secret: one extra tip for you! wearing UVA/UVB sunglasses helps protect the delicate skin around our eyes from damaging sun rays. Wearing sunglasses also reduces the amount that you squint, which is helpful for wrinkle prevention. Wearing a pair of sunglasses daily doesn’t take any extra time but will give you those extra benefits!
