Who couldn't use a boost of confidence this spring? So as the weather warms, work on shedding self-doubt along with that winter jacket. To help out, National Beauty and Lifestyle Correspondent Stacy Cox offers up tips on how to feel your very best this season.

Break a Sweat

You don't have to go out and run a marathon to feel better about yourself and your health. Walking twenty to thirty minutes a day is all it takes. If you're having a hard time getting started, Stacy says stash an extra pair of sneakers and ear buds somewhere convenient as a friendly reminder to use them. She says, "Whether it's your office, your car or a bag you bring with you, it will help you get motivated." The benefits of getting your heart rate up? "It gets blood flow and oxygen up to your face and adds a glow to your skin so you look and feel more confident," says Stacy.

Get More Zzz's

Starting the morning with a fresh face will help you take on the day, and a few more hours of shuteye each night will help regenerate the skin so you feel rested and energized. If scars are your skin snafu, then Stacy suggests you get Mederma PM Intensive Overnight Scar Cream on your radar. "It's the only scar cream that's specifically formulated to work while we sleep," she says. It's also the #1 brand recommended by doctors and pharmacists and clinically proven to improve the appearance of scars to make them softer, smoother and less noticeable in two to four weeks. Mederma is doing even more to help women raise their self-esteem by teaming up with Dress for Success to create a platform called Project Confidence.

Be poised

Now that you're two steps closer to a bolder you, let's test your confidence. Can you remain cool in uncomfortable situations? If you're like one in three women you deal with the distress of bladder leakage. "We're talking about laughing with your girlfriends, coughing or sneezing or exercising, as was my case two days ago," says Stacy, "I realized period pads are not the answer." Her go-to? Poise's micro liners and pads with Super Absorbent Material (SAM). "These help keep you fresh and dry. They help you rock your life every day," she explains. Head over to poise.com for a free sample, and take a look at #recycleyourperiodpad on social media to see crazy, fun and whimsical ways women are using their unused pads.
