Make these your beauty commandments for 2015 to glow inside and out this year.
1. Remove Your Makeup
After a fun night out or a hot date, you probably still have a pretty face. Promise to start removing your makeup before you go to bed. Make a habit of cleansing, toning and moisturizing twice a day.
2. Floss, Floss, Floss
You have to live with your smile for the rest of you life, so why not take great care of your teeth?! What’s a better accessory than a pretty smile? Brushing and flossing are equally as important. Routine dental hygiene will guarantee a long-lasting beautiful smile.
3. Protective Style
Of course straight, bouncy hair is beautiful, but a sexy up do can be just as flattering. Try giving your hair a break a bit more and wear a protective style. There are plenty of ways to do it and still look just as lovely as you do with your fresh wrap!
4. Throw It Away

When is the last time you audited your beauty arsenal? Many times we forget that like food, beauty products have expiration dates as well. For the sake of your health and your styled look, make sure you are keeping track of when it is time to let go and restock.
5. Drink 8 Glasses of Water
Water is key to a youthful and beautiful you. Not only does it keep your insides healthy, it keeps you looking healthy on the outside, too. Water keeps your skin clear, your hair moisturized, and encourages the skin to be bright.
6. SPF
UV light is one of the most influential factors in aging skin. The importance of daily SPF usage is crucial as it prevents premature aging, discoloration, and uneven skin tone and skin cancer.
7. Hand TLC
If there is anything that can give away your age, or falsify it, it’s your hands. You expose your hands to all types of elements on a regular basis. Try taking better care of them. Use gloves when you clean, moisturize them after every wash and get manicures.
8. Deep Condition & Treat
Yes, I know hair wash day is nothing any of us enjoy (especially if you are doing it yourself), but your hair loves it. Try taking extra care and giving your hair some extra treatment and love. Deep condition the hair and treat with protein when necessary. Your hair will thank you later and you will love how you hair looks and feels.
9. No More Picking
The attack on your pimples has got to stop. It’s time to let those horrible bumps run their course. Trust me, trying to poke, squeeze and scrape them away is only causing you more harm than good.
10. Try Something New
Come on, I know what you are use to may look and feel great, but it’s 2015! It’s time to try something different. Switch up your look a bit. Try a new lipstick color, learn how to do your eye makeup, change your hair color or style your ‘do different. The sky is the limit with endless change opportunities.
