4 Easy Ways to Practice Self Love For Valentines Day
Love and Romance are common Valentine's Day themes but what about Self Love? Can you truly say you love yourself? If so, do your actions and the way you treat yourself reflect love? Negative self talk and lack of proper self care are unhealthy, so this Valentine's Day show yourself some love in these 4 easy ways:
EAT- I've talked a lot about how proper nutrition is the best way to fight acne and skin issues from within. The foods you consume is also a reflection of your self esteem. If you're depressed or discouraged you may try to cope in unhealthy ways by consuming extra sugars, sweets and junk food. Love on yourself by trying healthy new recipes that nourish your body.
THINK- As a person thinks so they are. It all starts in your mind. Remove that negative self talk by thinking good thoughts about yourself. Speak positive reinforcement over your life. Sometimes we may need a little help in this area. When was the last time you read a good book? I like to read inspirational books that not only feed my spirit but also help me to gain new insights on life.
MOVE- Exercise is very important in self care as not only does it improve circulation in the body but it also releases endorphins and remove toxins. Getting your body engaged in some form of exercise helps ease tension and anxiety. If you're struggling mentally try incorporating regular movement into your self care habits.
USE- I'm a big supporter of non-toxic beauty including makeup. Try using makeup products that treat your skin and not harm. This is what Apple Rose Beauty is all about; clean and safe ingredients.

3 Steps to an Easy Skincare Routine
Apple Rose Beauty is committed to clean beauty with a cause. If you're new to clean, non-toxic beauty, transitioning to natural beauty may feel like a process. You don't have to get it all right at once. Here are 3 simple steps to building an easy yet effective skincare routine:
1. BE PATIENT There might be a process that your skin will experience called purging. When changing your regimen, especially one that is following a regimen of products that contain harsh synthetic ingredients, your skin wants to detox. You might see tiny white bump clusters appear. As long as you're not experiencing a reaction like itching or burning, keep pushing. The purging will subside.
2. HELP YOUR BODY HELP YOUR SKIN. What goes in the body is as important than what you put on your body. Foods rich in Vitamin C, A & omega 3's can fight free radicals, reduce the signs of aging, rejuvenate cells for a healthy glow. I discussed in an earlier blog post how your diet effects your skin.

3. USE YOUR PRODUCTS IN THE RIGHT ORDER. Yup there's an order to this. There's a process that your skin goes through during your routine and using your products in the following order allows for the best absorption of skin loving ingredients for optimal results.
- Cleanse
- Serum
- Moisturize
