Beauty goes so much deeper than aesthetically packaged makeup products and ultra-luxurious skincare. Don't get me wrong—I love makeup and skincare just as much as the next beauty connoisseur, but IMO, they're just the finishing touches in a routine. If we don't have a consistent maintenance routine, a glamorous red lip or caviar- and diamond-infused moisturizer (yes, that really exists) won't make much of a difference.
So what should we focus on first? I've learned that following a daily skincare routine (even if it's only three steps) and getting my vitamins and greens results in a glow that even my favorite highlighter can't replicate. Oh, and taking care of your smile (maybe even using a whitening strip or two) is so key to looking your best. Curious to know more makeup-free beauty tips? I'm sharing my best advice below with all the top products I'm shopping for at CVS during its fall wellness sale. From September 14 to 27, you can get $10 in rewards when you spend $30 on these essential wellness and beauty maintenance products. Keep scrolling to start your new routine.
Vitamins and Supplements for a Natural Glow and Strong Hair and Nails
Vitamins such as biotin strengthen your hair and nails, and essential minerals such as zinc make your skin glow from the inside out. Have a scoop of powdered greens or a multivitamin every day, and tell me you haven't started glowing.
Unsexy Skincare for a Clear Complexion
You'll get a soft, healthy complexion by consistently following a skincare routine, whether you're using affordable or more expensive products. Spoiler: These $20-and-under finds are just as good as pricier formulas.
Oral Care for a Healthy, Pearly-White Smile
Take care of your teeth with a high-quality toothpaste and mouthwash, and add whitening strips to your routine for a pearly-white smile.
Shaving Must-Haves for Soft, Glowing Skin
Shaving and dermaplaning keep your face and body smooth and soft. You can go for a standard razor or dermaplane tool, or you can upgrade to one with a weighted handle for more control. Add a delectable vanilla cashmere shaving cream to make the experience feel more luxe.
