Let’s clear up one common misconception from the get-go, self-care is not self-indulgence or being selfish. We all know life can get hectic and wild and sometimes, we forget to take the time to take care of ourselves. Beauty Care Choices believes Self-Care can be one of the most important things that you do for yourself. Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health. When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. It can also help you cope with daily stressors that can lead to you feeling lonelier and less able to unwind and slow down, leading to you feeling more anxious and overwhelmed by even the simplest tasks. Five Benefits of Self-Care Self-care can improve your physical health. Self-care can reduce stress and anxiety. Self-care can boost your self-esteem. Self-care protects your mental health. Self-care can lead to better relationships. What are some of the best products to begin your self-care routine you might ask? Don't worry, Beauty Care Choices has a wide variety of different items that can help you get started. One of our all-time favorite self-care products is body scrubs. Body scrubs help to exfoliate your skin by removing dead skin cells that tend to make your skin look dull or dry. Scrubs are easy to use in your shower or bath and can really make a difference in your skin! Additionally, body scrubs can improve circulation, promote smoother and softer skin, and enhance the absorption of moisturizers. They often contain nourishing ingredients like oils and vitamins that can hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Regular use of body scrubs can leave you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and with a radiant glow. A few of our personal favorite body scrubs are the Bonblissity Body Polish Moisturizing Exfoliant which is available in six different delicious scents and both the Yon-Ka Aroma Fusion Gommage Doux Smoothing Exfoliating Cream and the Yon-Ka Aroma Fusion Gommage Doux Hydrating Exfoliating Cream for a more luxurious shower experience. Another great self-care product is bath soaks. I don't know about you, but soaking in a tub really helps me to relax and unwind after a long and stressful day. Bath soaks can be a rejuvenating and enjoyable self-care practice. The warm water and ingredients in bath soaks can help soothe sore muscles, reduce tension, and promote a sense of calm. The Cuccio Naturale Milk Bath is just what you need to relax and unwind after a hard day. This bath soak is designed to hydrate and soothe the skin, revealing flawless and touchable soft skin. After your scrubbing and soaking, it's important to remoisturize your skin. Using lotion or skin oil right out of the bath or shower really helps your skin to absorb the nutrients and moisturizing agents in your lotions and skin oils. In addition to moisturizing immediately after bathing, it's also beneficial to apply a lotion or oil throughout the day as needed, especially if you spend a lot of time in dry environments or are exposed to harsh weather conditions. By incorporating these steps into your self-care routine, you can help ensure that your skin remains youthful, protected, and smooth, promoting a healthy and radiant appearance. A few of our top-notch lotions and oils are: Earthly Body Hemp Seed Hand & Body Lotion , is available in 12 delicious scents. Verb Body Lotion , your fragrance-free option for those with sensitivities. Enjoy Skinjoy Hand & Body Lotion , a great clean beauty option. Earthly Body Hemp Seed Moisturizing Oil Spray , available in 9 scrumptious scents to match your Hemp Seed Hand & Body Lotion. Cuccio Naturale Dry Body Oil , available in two different scents and features a dry oil formula that won't leave your skin greasy. Bonblissity Nourishing Body Oil , available in two relaxing and refreshing scents and is packed with antioxidants, omega-rich oils, hempseed oil, olive-derived squalene, and rosehip oil to promote healthy and vibrant skin. Now that we have your body all taken care of, let's talk about those feet and hands. Proper hand and foot care can prevent serious health problems. Dry, cracked skin on your hands and feet can lead to infection. Your hands and feet are probably the most used and abused parts of your body, so it is extra important to keep them healthy and happy. Great ways to take care of your hands and feet are at-home pedicures, scrubs, lotions, and masks. For your feet, Beauty Care Choices has the best options for you. Some of our personal favorites for foot care are the Qtica SmartPods . These are available in 8 different scents and include everything you need for your pedicure at home! Another great option to smooth your feet is the Baby Foot Exfoliation Foot Peel . This will just let the dead skin off your feet just peel off, leaving your piggies feeling rejuvenated and youthful. For your hands, our all-time favorite scrub is the Bonblissity Mini-Me Pack: Sweet+Single Candy Scrubs . Available in six different scents, these mini hand exfoliators are perfect for on the go or storing in a purse. These cute little candy scrubs also infuse your hands with nutrients and moisturizing agents for smoother and more hydrated hands with each use. Need a little extra moisture for your hands? Add a lotion to your care routine to add hydration and lock in health to your skin. The last thing I want to mention for self-care items is probably the most important, supplements. Supplements can play a crucial role in helping to heal and rejuvenate your body and skin from the inside out. They can provide essential nutrients and support overall well-being. Remember, while supplements can be beneficial, they should not replace a balanced diet. They should be used as a complement to a healthy lifestyle and should be taken according to the recommended dosage. Prioritizing self-care, including supplements, can contribute to your overall well-being and help you achieve healthier skin from within. Our favorite supplement for overall health is the ProPatch+ VitriPatch Topical Patch . This patch is more than a multivitamin! This little patch provides a full-spectrum wellness supplement for a healthy lifestyle. The VitriPatch Topical Patch complements our other favorite supplement patch, the ProPatch+ RenewPatch Topical Patch . While the VitriPatch is for overall total health and wellness, the RenewPatch's focus is anti-aging and total nutrition for skin and hair renewal! The RenewPatch also aids in reducing anxiety and stress making these the perfect self-care supplements. A few other great supplements are the Truth Treatment Systems Fulvic Cellular Repair Complex . This supplement gives your body all the minerals and nutrients that are no longer present in our foods! Fulvic minerals are one of nature's most effective anti-oxidants, are easily digested and absorbed into cells, and shown to promote cellular health, regeneration, and detoxification. We know you are busy and sometimes forget to give yourself that little bit of extra attention and self-love you need. Let's put an end to that today because you're important! The amazing staff at Beauty Care Choices is ready to help you start putting yourself first, so get your self-care routine started today!

Believe in What Your Hair Can Be. Do you love the Goldwell Kerasilk collection? Imagine if it got even better! Kerasilk has branched out from Goldwell and has reemerged better than ever! Still including everything you loved about the Goldwell Kerasilk, but also adding more benefits to your hair's overall health. Kerasilks purpose is to help people believe in a stronger, more beautiful future for themselves and their hair. Our hair holds a lot of power and is an extremely important part of our identity. Hair is something that is unique to everyone, and the journey for beautiful hair isn't always just about vanity. Hair has the power to make you feel like you can take on the world, and Kerasilk believes that everyone can! Kerasilk shows you that your hair can be strong and as beautiful as silk. What's different about the new Kerasilk? All products in the new Kerasilk collection are infused with Kerasilk Silk+ Technology, which combines Kerasilks new and exclusive Biomimetic Silk and expertly selected high-potent ingredients and hair enhancers to transform your hair into the healthiest it's ever been. Biomimetic silk is a special ingredient, unlike any other silk protein. This vegan silk mimics the hair-loving effects and benefits of traditional silk proteins found in hair care, replenishing amino acids inside and outside the hair shaft. This ingredient helps ensure that each Kerasilk product helps you achieve the strong, beautiful results you expect. The Kerasilk collection will leave each hair strand noticeably more resilient, shinier, softer, and with more elasticity. When paired with highly potent ingredients and enhancers, these products target the needs of your hair, such as hydration, color protection, or volume, and instantly transform your hair to its healthier new life. High Potent Ingredients: Red Raspberry Seed Oil- A natural source of Vitamin E, Vitamin A, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. Blue Lotus Extract- Known for being rich in strengthening nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. Shea Oil- Known for its high concentration of various fatty acids and significant levels of antioxidants such as Vitamin C, A, and E. Hyaloveil- A bioengineered, modified, and advanced type of hyaluronic acid able to adhere to the hair surface, known for its moisturizing and protecting benefits. Konjac Root Powder- A known source of various vitamins, minerals, valuable lipids, and proteins. Carnauba Wax- The “Queen of Waxes” is well known for its high shine and softening properties. Ectoin- A bioengineered ingredient known for protecting from environmental stress such as variations in temperature and dehydration. T-Flavanone- Known for being a powerful redensifying and anti-hair loss agent. Jojoba Beads- A superior and 100% natural alternative to polyethylene beads and an extremely gentle yet effective exfoliant. Why is Biomimetic Silk so good for your hair? Over time, our hair slowly loses amino acids from day-to-day activities, leaving the hair brittle and sometimes even lifeless. Biomimetic Silk replenishes those lost amino acids both inside and outside of the hair shaft, helping to improve each hair strand's internal and external structure. This results in hair that is strengthened, with reduced breakage, and improved overall health. Biomimetic Silk also provides hair with a natural and healthy shine and can help hair retain hydration. With Kerasilk, your hair will be more lustrous and radiant than ever. In addition to its reparative properties, Biomimetic Silk also has a conditioning effect on the hair. It helps to detangle hair and improve its overall softness and manageability, making it easier to style and maintain. With regular use, Biomimetic Silk can help restore your hair's natural strength and beauty, leaving it looking healthier and more vibrant than ever before. How is Biomimetic Silk produced? Biomimetic Silk is created using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast cultured under specific laboratory conditions. This yeast, also known as baker's or brewer's yeast, is an effective tool for protein expression and can be produced in large quantities. By utilizing this method, it is possible to replicate the amino acids commonly found in silk while reducing the use of chemicals, energy, and water. Climate Commitment and Sustainability. Kerasilk is dedicated to incorporating environmentally conscious practices both internally and externally. They are continuously exploring more sustainable alternatives for their packaging and have successfully sourced their products sustainably. Kerasilk's formula is entirely vegan and cruelty-free, without parabens, sulfates, microplastics, and UV filters. They have been monitoring their carbon emissions and actively reducing them to achieve climate neutrality, with any remaining emissions being compensated for. Over two-thirds of their production now utilizes cold batch processing, significantly decreasing their CO2 emissions. Additionally, Kerasilk is committed to reducing packaging waste by maximizing the use of recycled components and promoting recyclability. Despite these efforts, they maintain a premium beauty look and continue to seek out more sustainable options. The Kerasilk product range has been specifically formulated to cater to various hair types and styling requirements, allowing for effortless selection and use of the most suitable product regimen. The products have been designed to seamlessly complement each other, opening up endless possibilities for hair care and enabling everyone to create a customized routine by easily mixing and matching different collections. Encouraging endless possibilities, Kerasilk has created hair care regimens that are truly individual. Get your best hair days ahead with the new Kerasilk haircare collection at Beauty Care Choices.

Makeup is an art that requires skill, creativity, and the right tools. Whether you're a beginner or a makeup pro, there's always room for improvement. The #BeautyCareCrew is sharing 10 tips to upgrade your makeup game and help you achieve flawless looks every time. 1. Start with a clean canvas. Before applying any makeup, starting with a clean and moisturized face is essential. Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oil from your skin, and apply a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. The BeautyPrep system from Jane Iredale is a great place to start your skincare routine with better makeup application in mind. 2. Choose the right foundation. Finding the perfect foundation is key to achieving a flawless complexion. Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone and type. Apply it using a makeup sponge or brush for a natural finish. Wet your sponge or brush for fuller coverage. 3. Conceal and brighten. Use a concealer to cover blemishes, dark circles, or redness. Apply it in a triangular shape under your eyes to brighten your face and blend it out for a seamless finish. 4. Set your makeup. To make your makeup last longer, set it with a translucent powder. Use a fluffy brush to apply it lightly all over your face, focusing on your T-zone. Turn to Bodyography Every Finish Poweder if you like a matte finish or Sorme Mineral Secrect for a luminous finish. There is a translucent powder for all! 5. Define your brows. Well-groomed brows can transform your face and make your eyes pop. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas and define the shape of your brows. Don't worry about what style of brows are trending, either. Do what makes you feel most comfortable in your own unique look. 6. Add some color to your cheeks. Blush can add a natural flush of color to your cheeks and make you look more youthful. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and apply it on the apples of your cheeks. 7. Highlight your features. Highlighting can enhance your natural features and give you a radiant glow. Use a highlighter on the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, nose, and cupid's bow. 8. Line your eyes. Eyeliner can define your eyes and make them appear bigger. Use a pencil or liquid liner to line your upper lash line and wing it out for a cat-eye look. Don't be afraid of other colors with your liner, either. Black is great, but you should always have a brown for a more subtle natural look, a bright color for more playful looks, and even a white for a doe-eyed effect! 9. Enhance your lashes. Mascara can make your lashes look longer and fuller. Use a curler to curl your lashes; a heated one like the Chella Heated Eyelash Curler can also add even more volume. And apply mascara in a zigzag motion from the roots to the tips. 10. Finish with a lip color. Complete your look with a lip color that complements your makeup. Choose a lipstick, lip gloss, or lip stain that suits your skin tone and preference. If you went with a bold liner, opt for a natural lip and vice versa. Following these 10 tips, you can upgrade your makeup game and achieve flawless looks every time. Remember to practice, experiment with different techniques, and, most importantly, have fun! Tag us in your stunning makeup look on TikTok or Instagram with #BeautyCareCrew, we love seeing what you can create!

When it comes to getting fuller and thicker hair, biotin and minoxidil are the top go-to ingredients. They can be found in shampoos, supplements, and topical treatments. Both are effective, but what are the differences between biotin and minoxidil? What is Minoxidil? Minoxidil is an antihypertensive vasodilator medication that is used to treat hair loss. It was discovered during clinical trials for high blood pressure treatment that showed signs of being able to regrow hair. How does it work? When applied to the scalp once or twice a day, topical minoxidil can help encourage hair growth or slow balding. It works by helping to increase the blood flow to the hair follicles. The expansion of the follicular size and hair shaft diameter helps encourage and extend hair growth. These scalp treatments usually have 2% or 5% minoxidil like the BosleyMD Hair Regrowth 2% Minoxidil Treatment Spray for women. What to know? Over the counter minoxidil solution and foam are used to treat male pattern baldness. It is not used for baldness at the front of the scalp or receding hairline in men. The foam and 2% minoxidil solution are used to help hair growth in women with thinning hair like the NIOXIN Hair Regrowth Treatment . Although topical use of minoxidil is generally safe, as with all medications, there may be side effects. It is important to follow all instructions when using this treatment and with any medication, you should check with your doctor. What is Biotin? Biotin is part of the B complex group of vitamins known as vitamin B7 or H. It can be found in small amounts in several foods, such as eggs, liver, mushrooms, and nuts. B complex vitamins keeps your hair and nails healthy. Thinning or brittle hair can be symptoms of biotin deficiency. A diet rich in biotin or taking a hair growth supplement with vitamin B like the Viviscal Professional Hair Nutritional Supplements , can help strengthen existing tresses and stimulate hair growth. Also, biotin have been added to many hair products like shampoos, conditioners, and scalp treatments like the Surface Awaken Scalp Elixir. For best results, try it with the Surface Awaken Advanced Therapeutic Treatment System . How does it work? Biotin is a natural element that helps metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids-the building blocks of protein. The reaction between biotin and cell enzymes aids in producing healthy hair growth since your hair is made with a type of protein called keratin. What to know? Biotin is used primarily for alopecia (hair loss) in men or women. It improves hair growth and helps with inflammation. Biotin has many benefits for strengthening hair, but it is not enough to take biotin alone. If only it was that easy! The reality is that the role of biotin is one part of a bigger picture. The real miracle is improving your overall nutrition by giving your hair follicles all the vitamins and minerals like zinc & vitamin C it needs to encourage hair growth. NIOXIN Recharging Complex Supplements has the full regimen in one convenient tablet. Now that you’re equipped with loads of knowledge about biotin and minoxidil, Beauty Care Choices has many hair loss solutions for you to choose from.

From hard-core beauty junkies to makeup pros, here are a few hacks to make the makeup process 100 times smoother! Tip #1 Apply your foundation before your concealer. The quickest and easiest way to level up your makeup routine is to apply your foundation before your concealer. Why you may ask? Well, by applying your foundation first you are essentially creating an even canvas for all your other products to layer on top of. This will also help to prevent you from applying too much foundation or concealer, which can make your skin look heavy. Another plus? Foundation before concealer is a genius fix for preventing caking and creasing. Tip #2 Exfoliate your lips before applying lipstick. Ok, I know I hate when I apply my lipstick and it applies chunky. By prepping your lips with a gentle exfoliant first, like the Bodyography Exfoliating Lip Duo , to buff away any dry skin that may be sitting on top of your lips leaving you with a smooth and soft lip for a beautiful lipstick application every time! Tip #3 Don't forget to apply blush! It may seem like the obvious step in your routine, but blush is seriously an underrated beauty product. A couple of sweeps of cream or powder blush along the high points of your cheeks will give your entire look a brighter, warmer finish! Tip #4 Make bold shadows pop using a white eyeliner . Creating a light base on your eyelid using a white eyeliner, and then following it with a bold or bright shade will really make that color vibrant and bold! Tip #5 Looking for a lip color that lasts and lasts? Set your lip color with a tissue and powder. Just swipe on your shade, lay a tissue over your mouth, then dust translucent powder over the top to set the color from budging or bleeding. Now that you are equip with a few new tips and tricks up your sleeve, go out and create that look you've been dying to make with Beauty Care Choices !

Whether the products you choose to care for your skin are effective or not depends on choosing what works best with your skin type. If you have oily skin and choose products designed for dry skin, then your regimen is probably not doing you any favors! There are 5 basic categories for skin type. Oily skin types have large pores that are visible throughout the face to the hairline. This thicker, more resilient skin typically develops an oily shine in the morning and/or shortly after cleansing. Dry skin types have very fine, nearly invisible pores with no oily shine to the complexion. This thin, delicate skin is more prone to flaking, rough texture, and fine lines than others. Combination skin types have either Oily/Normal or Normal/Dry characteristics. Their pore size may be visible through the T-zone and they may develop an oily shine through the center of the face. Normal skin types have uniform small, yet visible pores throughout the face and may get an oily shine in the center of the face mid-day/end of the day. Sensitive skin types have been diagnosed with rosacea or have had two or more of the following conditions since childhood: asthma, eczema, and hay fever (seasonal allergies). Over time your skin type can change depending on a number of factors such as loss of elasticity of your skin, your natural oil production, genetics, and much more. Even a change of season, location, or habits can change your skin type. Oily Skin If you have oily skin, you probably struggle with acne and high shine. Many who have oily skin tend to over-clean, which will actually speed up your skin's oil production. Choose a salicylic acid-based cleanser to use at night and a milder and more gentle cleanser in the mornings. For moisturizers, stick to products that are non-comedogenic and lightweight so it doesn't clog pores. Even a serum would be a great option! Dry Skin Does your skin feel as dry as the Sahara Desert? Dry skin can be uncomfortable as well as flaky. Choosing products for dry skin is obviously all about hydration. A gentle cleanser will help to preserve the natural oils your skin produces for daily skin health. Once your skin is cleansed, immediately apply your moisturizer! Look for creams that contain olive or jojoba oil, shea butter, lanolin, or glycerin. Combination Skin Combination skin can be a touch tricky. When choosing a cleanser for combo skin , you want a product that will help balance the pH of your skin. Look for mind and gentle cleansers that won't irritate the skin or cause it to dry out. Combination skin responds best to liquid and gel moisturizers because of how lightweight they are and how deeply hydrating they are. Often those with combo skin breakout in their t-zone, across the forehead, and down the nose and chin. A toner will help balance and clean the t-zone and help to prevent skin irritation and blemishes. Sensitive Skin Caring for sensitive skin is especially critical. Choosing products that won't irritate, dry, or breakout your skin means the difference between feeling great that day or being extremely uncomfortable! Gentle and hydrating cleansers work well with sensitive skin . Look for cleansers that are either sulfate-free or contain low sulfates to help to not over-cleanse your skin. Always use moisturizers that are fragrance-free, soothing, and lightweight. Normal Skin The most important part of having normal skin is keeping it healthy! Keeping normal skin clean is vital, choose a cleanser that is gentle and non-stripping, and always use lukewarm water. Regularly exfoliate your skin at least once or twice a week to keep your cell turnover happy. As for a moisturizer, in the mornings we recommend using something that is lightweight, and in the evening use something that is richer and contains collagen, elastin, and lipids. All of these key ingredients help anti-age your skin! Different types of skin require unique care. Even if a product is life-changing for someone, you might not see fantastic results if it isn't meant for your skin type. Take some time to develop a suitable skincare routine for your skin with Beauty Care Choices.

As every beauty lover knows, the key to a flawless makeup application is a perfect base. But even if you get the right moisturizer, primer, and toner combination, choosing the wrong foundation can ruin your look completely. Your #BeautyCareCrew has made it their mission to help you when choosing the perfect foundation for you. What is your skin type? Find your skin type before you run out and grab a new foundation. There are three main types of skin: dry, oily, and combination. If you are unsure which skin type you have, here are a few simple ways to find out! If you think your skin is dry, try sticking a piece of tape to your cheek. If the tape takes a little skin away with it when you peel it off, then you might be right! ON the other hand, if you have enough oil on the sides of your nose to turn a tissue transparent, you most likely have oily skin. If only a little oil is present, then your skin is more on the normal side. If you find that your t-zone gets more oily with dry patches elsewhere then you more than likely have combination skin. Once you have determined your skin type, then you'll need to decide what finish and coverage you're wanting. Do you need something to mattify your oily skin or something to give your dry skin a healthy and dewy glow? If you have more oily skin, your best bet is a powdered foundation like the Hynt Velluto Pure Powder Foundation , while dry-skinned ladies will benefit more from a rich liquid foundation like the Mirabella Invincible Anti-Aging HD Foundation . The wonderful gals here that make up our #BeautyCareCrew have taken the time to step out of their comfort zone and try a completely new-to-them foundation! Meet Allison!
