Shape Magazine's 1-2-3 beauty punch for the New Year

From the LifeMInute team

It's almost time to ring in the New Year! To help you look and feel your best in 2014, Shape Magazine's Editor at Large Bahar Takhtehchian shared her secrets...

Tip 1: Skin Makeover

"Amarte's skincare has a two-in-one serum and toner that's really going to help your skin look and feel more hydrated and smooth," says Takhtehchian. The Aqua Veil Hydrator is infused with cucumber and optimizes your skin's ability to absorb and retain moisture. Talk about hydration! Just pump it on in the morning and evening to release droplets of pure H2O and create a protective veil. Go to amarteskincare.com to learn about how it all works!

Tip 2: Blowouts All Year Long

Studies have actually shown that a good hair day can help women feel and look more confident! But who has the time and money to go to the salon? Well, upgrade your at-home blowout with a Rowenta Inspiration Pro Dryer. "It has an ionic generator that's going to reduce frizz, and a big professional-quality motor reduces dry time."

Tip 3: Change Up Your Hair Color

Shake things up in 2014 with a new hue for your 'do! John Frieda Precision Foam Colour is great, especially if you want to say goodbye to greys this year. "Get salon-quality color right at home with the do-it-yourself kit," says Takhtehchian. It's a foam formula, which means there are no drips, no mess, and no way you'll miss those hard-to-reach areas.

Tip 4: Confidence with a Smile

It's important to really take care of your oral health, and that's why Bahar loves Listerine Ultraclean. "It has a great new EVERFRESH technology that's going to give you a dentist-clean feeling every time you use it," she says. Not only will you feel like you just stepped out of the dentist's office, but the rinse also reaches 75% of your mouth that brushing alone might miss. Plus, the effects last three times longer than brushing alone, so you're getting 24-hour protection against germs that cause plaque and gingivitis by just swishing twice a day for 30 seconds.
