Make healthy beauty habits one of your resolutions

The new year is the perfect time to make a resolution to know what you are putting on your lips, as well as applying to your skin or your hair. "The year 2014 should be about going as green as possible," says Marianne Skiba, a Burgettstown, Washington County, native, who is an Emmy Award-winning celebrity makeup artist.We have the largest collection of special occasion Discount Sexy Lace Sweetheart Beaded Crystal A-line Long Evening/Prom Dresses for immediate delivery. "Women should be more savvy about label reading and look to avoid ingredients that are toxic." That can be one of the many beauty resolutions women should make, along with conditioning their hair, trimming nail cuticles and exfoliating skin. Skiba says late winter is the perfect time to use hydrating masks and moisturizing creams. "Good skin is always in fashion," Skiba says. "For makeup, what goes on must come off. If it doesn't come off, then it gets absorbed into the skin." 

"The importance of a consistent regime is vital to long-term healthy, youthful skin care," says Christina Fundy, skin care and makeup specialist at Izzazu Salon, Spa & Serata with locations Downtown and in Wexford.

"In the winter, women don't think about becoming dehydrated, but it can easily happen this time of year," Winfrey says. "Women should also use a clarifying shampoo to help remove dirt, oil and other buildup, especially if you use a straightener because it can bond unwanted residue into your hair." The new year is a perfect time to try something different in your beauty regimen. "We like to think of it as a brand-new year, a brand-new you," says Gino Chiodo, co-owner of Izzazu with Emilio Cornacchione. "This is the perfect time to change your hairstyle, and it's something that can be done quickly and easily. And it can make the biggest difference, because we see hair as an accessory. You can have the prettiest dress, the fanciest purse and the nicest shoes, but if your hair doesn't look good, people will notice." 

Good health — and looking good — is all about prevention, says Eva Kerschbaumer, owner, with her husband, Scott, of ESSpa Kozmetika Organic Skincare in Aspinwall. "It is about being mindful of what you eat and what you put on your hair, skin and nails," Eva Kerschbaumer says. "I know it isn't easy because sometimes I have trouble figuring out what is best. But I recommend researching the place you are going for your treatment and the technicians who will be doing the treatment. Ask questions about what products they are using."
