Check Yourself Out, Before you Get in the Check Out Line

No one is immune to screaming kids, appointments running longer then scheduled, road work slowing traffic along your route or bad hair days. There are times we just can't get away from feeling rushed, tired and over taxed. But we can use a few simple beauty tricks to keep from looking frazzled.

Immediately after washing your face in the morning, use your toner. This will prepare your skin for your essential skin care products in only 2 minutes (not 20 plus minutes).
Purchase a good quality moisturizer. This will effectively hydrate skin, giving it a smoother, more radiant appearance.
Choose a toothpaste with baking soda. The enhanced look of clean white teeth naturally brighten your face.
(Men, we encourage you to take care of yourself! These tips above great for you too. Mascara optional)
Watch what makeup you put on. Mascara is your friend. It opens your eyes and you will appear more awake. Bright eyes are inviting, just don't over due it.
Remember your sunscreen. At the very least, check out your moisturizer for an SPF or try Sunforgettable.
Harsh, bright makeup is your enemy. Choose a subtle lip color or stain, apply and go!
Last step. Comb thru your hair, wear a clip or grab a hat. It is the final easy touch to your 5 minute, get out the door look.

So the next time you get in the short check out line, behind the person paying with coupons and in pennies, your bright smile, open eyes and glowing skin will radiate calm. Those around you will see a together, relaxed human even when you are not.
