Consistency is Key!

I had the great pleasure of giving the owner of The Barre Code in Park Ridge, Jestina Orlando, a facial yesterday. She's an amazing young woman and has just celebrated her businesses 1 year anniversary!

While we were talking, we realized how similar taking care of your body is to taking care of your skin. The most important thing to consider in total skin and body care is that CONSISTENCY IS KEY!

You can't expect working out once a month to give you a healthy and well toned body any more then you can expect getting a facial once a month to give you healthy and beautiful skin. Does it help? Yes, absolutely! But it's the things you do at home on your own time that will make the difference!

Choosing to watch tv over going for a walk, choosing to go to bed with your makeup on over spending a couple of minutes on your night time skin care routine, those everyday decisions are what really attribute to your overall health and well being.

And don't save your skin care products for special occassions. Just like working out, you don't expect to work out the day before a special event to fit into a dress. That could take months to achieve, right? The same goes for your skin. You can't use that amazing serum you have at home for a special occassion and expect that it's really doing anything at all for your skin. You spend your hard earned money on great products because you want results and those results are only possible with consistent use.

Remember, we're a team! Get your monthly facials and take your bi-weekly Barre Code classes, but make sure you are following your recommended home care regimen as well.
