Stress and Your Skin

Stress and Your Skin // Belle Belle Beauty

I absolutely love this time of year. As I write, I am relishing a cozy rainy day. But it also brings about the holiday stress. And stress is bad business for skin. I’ve been upping my dose of moisture to help with the problem with my beloved Vital Vitamin Day Cream SPF 15. Beyond that, Simple Advisory Board psychiatrist Dr. Josie Howard has some awesome info and tips on how stress can affect skin and ways to stay healthy.

Chatting Simple Skincare With The Glossaire’s Lara

Lara on Simple Skincare

I’m pretty darn enthusiastic about my partnership with Simple Skincare. Not only have the products transformed my sensitive skin over the past 10 months, but I get to work with some pretty amazing fellow Ambassadors. Long time friend and blogging buddy, Lara from The Glossarie, is sharing her thought on the Simple Skincare collection. Thought it would be fun to share some of her experiences and favorites. Read my interview with her below:

– What are your major skin concerns? How would you describe your skin type?

My skin is the worst! Breakouts are my major concern, followed by sensitivity and a tendency for my skin to react to everything. All of the aestheticians and dermatologists that I’ve seen have told me that my rigorous product testing regimen is wreaking havoc on my face and have advised me to stop immediately. Obviously that’s not happening!

– How has your skin changed since you started using Simple products?

It’s much more clear and even toned. Redness has been drastically reduced and it’s just overall much more comfortable and happy.

– What are your favorite products from the line? Which one surprised you the most?

The Foaming Cleanser is the hero of my nightly makeup removing ritual. It cleanses thoroughly without stripping my skin. It’s a relatively new discovery and I have been telling everyone how much I love it! The biggest surprise for me has been the Replenishing Rich Moisturizer. I have been using it day and night and it has brought serious balance to my skin. I find that my skin breaks out more when it’s dry, but thick moisturizers tend to clog my pores. This one moisturizes completely but has kept things totally clear. I’m kicking myself for not trying it sooner!

– Does your skincare routine change seasonally?

Oh yes! I just changed from using the Refreshing Facial Wash Gel and the Protecting Light Moisturizer to the Foaming Cleanser and the Replenishing Rich Moisturizer. I do use the two eye products year round: Soothing Eye Balm at Night and Revitalizing Eye Roll On in the mornings.

– Why do you love working with Simple?

I have been so happy to discover a line that not only works like a dream, but is affordable. To me, Simple epitomizes real girl beauty and I love that I get to partner with them on a formal level. The best part of working with Simple has been the emails and comments that I receive from my readers telling me how much they love the products and that they discovered them because of me!

I know it has made a tremendous difference in my sensitive skin.

Summer Orange

Summer Orange // Belle Belle Beauty

I’m not sure I really believe we are in the last throws of summer. I still have one more beach vacation planned. And while this summer hasn’t been as brutal as others, Oklahoma tends to stay toasty well into October. So, you won’t see me put away any of my favorite summer shades anytime soon. The last couple of months, I have really been embracing the orange. For some inspiration, here’s what’s on my summer orange wish list (pictured above):

No matter the season or shade, beautiful skin is the most important part of a beauty routine, and Simple can help you get there. I’ve been loving the Simple Skincare Radiance Cleansing Wipes after late nights or to remove pore clogging sunscreen. And the Revitalizing Eye Roll On has been a dream for looking refreshed after those late nights and too little sleep.
