Post-Summer Shape-Ups
Easy ways to "Fall" into a new routine for a beautiful you
From the LifeMinute team
When it comes to post-Summer shape-ups, there's more to it than just hitting the gym. Shape Magazine's Editor-at-Large Bahar Takhtehchian shares tips on how to step up your routine to bring out the most beautiful you this Fall.
Oral Health Upgrade
Oral health impacts your overall health, but did you know that brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth? Bahar says, "Millions of germs are left behind, which is not a good thing." It's crucial to incorporate rinsing and flossing into your everyday routine as well. One product Bahar loves is Listerine Total Care Anticavity Mouthwash because it gives you six benefits in one. "It's going to prevent cavities, restore enamel, strengthen teeth, kill bad breath germs, freshen breath, and fight plaque above the gum line," she says. Listerine also has a new line of floss that is made for those with sensitive gums, so there are no excuses!
Hair Rescue
After a summer spent under the sun at the pool or beach, your locks are in need of a serious shape-up. Bahar says the perfect pick to combat damage is Suave Professionals Split End Rescue Shampoo and Conditioner, which transforms split ends after just three uses. "It's enriched with a PEC complex that means up to 70% split end reduction," she says, "Your hair is going to look healthy and be strong." When used together, the products are proven to strengthen hair as well as salon brands. However, these hair helpers don't have the hefty salon price tag. You can pick them up for $4 each at drugstores.
Nail Makeover
Before you rely on a salon mani to give your nails a fresh Fall coat, Bahar says to check out Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Collection. "You get the high-shine look of a salon mani without having to use LED lights," she says. That's because the line of 47 shades is the first salon-quality manicure that actually combines nail color with high techno gel that lasts for up to 14 days. To use, just apply two coats of the Miracle Gel color and then top it all off with the topcoat. And unlike the salon gel manicures, you don't need anything special to remove the gel, just your favorite standard nail polish remover. Find them for $9.99 each at drugstores.
