It is a common theme, the month of January is without a doubt, the month of the detox.
If you would like to recharge your skin after the holidays, these simple tips can help to get you a glowing complexion.
Healthy skin starts from within. Detox your diet, make sure you are drinking lots of fresh water and eating foods that are good for your skin such as walnuts, avocado, sweet potatoes, fresh leafy greens, blueberries, sustainably sourced wild fish and green tea. Lower the amount of sugar, processed foods and alcohol you are consuming.
To help you get the recommended water intake of around 8 cups a day, try adding a squeeze of lemon to give it a little extra flavor.
An easy way to incorporate greens and fresh vegetables into your diet daily is to have a large salad for lunch, using a simple dressing of extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.
Relax. Yoga, meditation or even sitting quietly and reading are all great ways to help you wind down and lower those stress levels, so try and incorporate them into your daily routine.
Focus on healthy eating and lots of different activities to lift your spirits and rebalance your skin.

Initially, I would do a monthly newsletter. The above example of the newsletter is for the month of January. I think it would begin as a “relationship building” email, each month would have a different theme, providing information I think would be of interest to the readers.
I like the idea of the “welcome” email once I have a mechanism in place for capturing the readers information. I also like the “birthday” email. I must admit that my family, especially my kids, have looked forward to those through the years. Originally we signed up by mailing our information to the company and waiting for a Happy Birthday postcard to be mailed to us, now it’s mostly online.
Although some small businesses still send postcards! Some of the themes I think would be of interest are sun protection, individual ingredients, ways to spice up your wardrobe, shaving tips for men, diet, anti-aging treatments, travel, yoga & wellness. The list could go on. We are all concerned about our looks, and most of us are aware that we must take care of ourselves. Do I appeal to people’s vanity? Maybe so, however, I feel everyone needs to be made aware of the things they can do to care for themselves.
Giving them information that is interesting and informative is the goal, hopefully they will appreciate it enough to support the site with their business.

Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI liked your example of a newsletter. I would love to see pictures in the newsletter too. When I read about examples of foods that are good for your skin I could imagine appealing images of those foods.
Hi Kathleen! The first part of this blog is like a mini commercial for your company. I would suggest a call to action. For me, I always seem to forget to include that part.
ReplyDeleteI like the birthday email idea if they are giving something away. I was on the Coldstone list for a while because they gave away free ice cream on our birthday. But we don't care too much about the email for the orthodontist about the kids birthday because we know that is automated.
I read many email newsletters and I often think "Ok, now what am I suppose to do with this information." Some newsletters leave me inspired, while others leave me feeling like there is something I should be doing with this information and I don't know what it is. I'm sure will inspire people.
