3 Ways To Brighten Up Your Look This Season

When you look in the mirror, does your appearance seem a little dull? There may be nothing specific that you can identify; it just looks like you need a lift. You're certainly in good company. Many people are feeling the same way these days. Fortunately, several simple actions can make a big impact. Read on for a few effective ways to brighten up your look. 

1. Make Your Hair Shine

Whatever your length or style, healthy hair can make a real difference in your appearance. When hair is healthy, it naturally reflects light and gives you a flattering halo. Examine your hair in natural light and decide what's needed to improve its health; it might be a trim, deep-conditioning mask, or something else entirely. Also, well-placed color can dramatically improve the shine of your hair. Need professional assistance? Try a search using terms such as hair highlight Boston MA to find a high-quality colorist. 

2. Give Your Skin a Glow

Gentle, safe exfoliators and rich, occlusive moisturizing products are some of the best things you can buy to boost the glow of your skin at home. Also, consider splurging on a professional facial to get a jump start — often, they're surprisingly affordable. Experiment with creams and cosmetics that have a subtle shimmer; a little goes a long way. 

3. Focus On Your Health

Make sure to hydrate, eat plenty of whole fresh foods (including healthy fats), and get regular exercise. Sleep makes a major impact on your circulation and hormone regulation, which will then affect your skin. When you consider the health of your dermis, it's just as important to nourish from the inside out. 

Brightening up your overall look involves caring for yourself in an integrated way. Keep these tips in mind as you design your glow-up plan!
