Why You Need to Take a Break from Your Beauty Routine

March 16, 2016 by Juliann

Looking your best and keeping up with the latest and greatest beauty routines unfortunately can be harmful to your health and even to your appearance. Here’s why it is important to take a break from…

..Eyelash Extensions

With the heavy weight of faux hairs in addition to sticky adhesives holding semi-permanent lashes for a full month, it’s important to let your natural lashes breathe and show them some TLC. Skip a month and apply a lash strengthening serum like Hydropeptide LASH ($96) which improves the appearance of lashes by strengthening them for a fuller, longer, less brittle appearance.

…Hair Extensions

Having hair extensions can pull on natural hair follicles leading to thinning and breakage. Take two capsules of NeoCell’s Keratin Hair Volumizer ($20) daily to provide your hair with all-natural beauty nutrients it needs. It is clinically proven to enhance hair strength and give you the thick and lustrous locks you are craving.

My hair gets fuller, thicker and longer when I take this supplement. It seems so much healthier and has less breakage.

…Gel Manis

Getting your latest gel manicure removed can damage and weaken nails. Take a break from gel manicures every couple of weeks and add biotin to your daily routine. NeoCell’s Biotin Bursts ($15) deliver 10,000 MCG of biotin in a yummy soft chew to promote nail growth, and maintain healthy skin and strong hair! Keep a bag of these on your desk or in your car to ensure you get your daily dose of beauty each day.

I love Biotin Bursts! They taste just like delicious tangy, fuity candy, so I have no problem taking them every day. When I take them on a daily basis, my nails grow so fast that I find that I need to stash nail clippers in my purse to keep up with them.

…Makeup

Wearing makeup can lead to clogged pores, redness, and uneven texture. Apply a masque like Arbonne’s RE9 Advanced Cellular Renewal Masque ($65) twice a week before bed. This masque gently exfoliates to visibly improve the appearance of skin tone and texture, minimize the size of pores and provide you with a radiant glow from within.

Arbonne’s RE9 Advanced Cellular Renewal Masque is the greatest! I use it twice each week, and it literally leaves my skin glowing and as soft as silk.

…Teeth Whitening

Going overboard with unsafe teeth whitening products can be extremely harmful. Instead, opt for Supersmile’s Professional Whitening Toothpaste ($21) that will gently lifts stains and rebuild enamel that may have been already damaged.

I love Supersmile’s Professional Whitening Toothpaste! I have been using it for only about a week now, and my teeth are already looking so much whiter!

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
