My #LifeUnfiltered Beauty Routine

Good Morning readers, with Valentine’s Day coming tomorrow I wanted to share some of my behind-the-scene beauty steps with you that will leave you feeling beautiful on both the outside and inside. Whenever I want to feel my best for a date night, I follow a unique #lifeunfiltered routine before I even start my series of hair, makeup and accessories. First, I always like to start the day by hitting the gym for an intense body-pump or spin class. Exercise causes your body to release endorphins, which triggers a positive feeling in the body and leaves you feeling happy and energized. I also make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep my skin and body looking fresh and hydrated. After a fulfilling workout, I like to clean up around the house; light candles for a fresh scent and brighten up the kitchen with some vibrant colored flowers.

As soon as everything else around me is glimmering clean, I can officially begin my real outer beauty routine. After I shower with my Eucalyptus Spearmint body wash and Pureology shampoo and conditioner, I rinse my face with a gentle cleanser and follow by using Shiseido’s Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate. If you want your skin to glow and feel silky smooth for date night, all you have to do is use Ultimune twice daily after cleansing your face. I recommend applying the product before using any kind of serum or moisturizer.
