The best natural skincare tips
“Love the skin you’re in!”
“Beauty is not skin deep!”
You’re all for self-love and embracing who you truly are. You believe that confidence is key for a successful life. And you are a huge advocate of being comfortable in your own body.
If only your skin was a little bit smoother… or finally free from those acne scars. Maybe, just maybe you could find a way to lose those dark circles around your eyes, and then you’ll love your skin.
The fact is, we all want beautiful skin. And that’s perfectly normal. Here are some natural tips to help you achieve your best skin ever.
1. Beauty sleep
Have you ever looked in the mirror after a particularly restless night? Your skin needs to rest just as much as you do. A lack of sleep can lead to issues like puffy eyes, dark under-eye circles, drooping eyelids and wrinkles. This is caused by cortisol, the stress hormone in our bodies. The more we sleep, the lower the levels of cortisol in our bodies. According to experts, we should aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep nightly.
2. Sweat it out
Here’s that extra boost of motivation you need to start working out: Regular exercise helps to nourish your skin. When you are active, blood flow throughout your body increases, which carries oxygen and nutrients to your cells, including your skin. The increased blood flow also carries free radicals away from your skin, essentially cleaning your skin from the inside out.
3. Protect your skin from the sun
The UV rays from the sun can wreak havoc on your skin if you’re not careful. As a result, wearing sunscreen outdoors is vitally important. But don’t just stop there. Opt to walk in the shade when outdoors. Sure your sunscreen helps, but remember it will wear off throughout the day. To be safe, take refuge in the shade whenever possible.
4. Drink up
The water you get from food and drinks moisturizes your skin, keeping your skin firm, smooth and healthy. However, your body feeds higher priority organs first. So if you’re dehydrated, all the water goes to your internal organs first, leaving your skin parched. So be sure you’re getting enough fluids to feed your vital organs as well as your skin. Once you’re dehydrated, your skin will tell you.
5. Fret not
You have probably heard of ‘cortisol’ at some point in your life. It’s a well-known enemy in the skincare world and beyond. Cortisol is the stress hormone found in our bodies. The more you stress, the more of it your body produces. This can disrupt collagen production which then leads to wrinkles and dry skin. Sleep more, get a massage, workout - do whatever you need to do to keep your stress levels down. Your skin will thank you for it.
The products you use also play a big part in the health of your skin. So it’s important to ensure you’re choosing products with skin-loving ingredients, like the Fortify+ germ-fighting skin care line. Ultimately though, achieving beautiful skin goes deeper than just using the best products. Health is beauty, after all. So drink up, sleep tight and get active daily to achieve gorgeous skin.

What are the benefits of face mists?
Face mists can do wonders for your skin. In fact, very few skin care products out there can multitask as well as these refreshing sprays. They are often packed with skin-loving luxurious ingredients that pamper and nourish your skin. And the best part? You can use them any time of day or night, whether you’re at home or on the go for a nice, refreshing boost to your skin.
Who can use face mists?
There are face mists on the market for every skin type. It’s just a matter of learning your skin type and picking the right one. If your skin is on the drier side, then choose a mist with delicious essential oils. If you have more sensitive skin, or if your skin is a bit more mature, then choose a face mist with aloe vera for some extra pampering.
Are face mists necessary?
Will your skin be an absolute mess without a face mist? Probably not. Will you see any real improvements in your skin when you use a face mist? Absolutely! While skipping the face mist won’t ruin your skin, the benefits of using one are honestly too good to pass up. Plus it’s super quick to apply (a couple sprays and you’re done!) and very affordable. And you can use it any time, anywhere.
What are the benefits?
A few sprays of face mist can leave you feeling unbelievably refreshed. That quick refresh on a particularly sweaty day is enough to make it worth it. But the benefits don’t end there. Here are a few more benefits of using a face mist on your skin:
- Instant hydration
Using a face mist is the quickest way to get some moisture in your skin. And you don’t have to mess up your makeup to do it. Simply spritz it on throughout the day to keep your skin nice and dewy. To ensure you’re getting the maximum hydration, look for face mists with super hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
- Soothes sensitive skin
If you have sensitive skin or more mature skin, choose a formula that contains gentle ingredients like aloe vera to soothe and tighten your skin. Face mists work very well for sensitive and mature skin types, as you don’t need to touch or rub your skin as with a regular moisturizer.
- Set your makeup
There are some face mists on the market that double as setting sprays. You get all the moisture benefits of a regular mist, along with the setting properties to help your makeup stay in place for much longer.
- Fights bacteria
Bacteria on your face can get you sick once they enter your body, so it’s important to keep your face clean at all times. Doing your full skincare routine several times a day is simply not feasible. The next best thing? A well-chosen face mist. Choose a face mist with germ-fighting ingredients, like this Fortify+ Protecting Facial Mist, to keep your face clean and protected throughout the day.
Face mists are beyond versatile, and they give your skin the quickest moisture boost. A single spritz and your skin will instantly look dewier and brighter. And when chosen correctly (no alcohol, thank you) they can be used again and again throughout the day.
Fortify+ offers a high-quality face mist with zeolite as one of the main ingredients. Zeolite is known for its ability to slow the growth of germs and microorganisms on your face.
