2. Not burning or tanning intentionally – no tan is a safe tan 3. Seeking shade during peak times of the day 4. Wearing sun-protective clothing 5. Using extra caution near water, snow, and sand because the sun is reflected back up from the ground!
Are the sunscreens created equally? No: you want to choose a sunscreen with the following ingredients:

As we are currently at home and practicing Social Distancing, we suddenly find ourselves with a new schedule, new habits, new work environment, access to kitchen very quickly and at any time. We are all of sudden forming new habits.
I don’t know about you, but I know that I have become acutely aware of my habits, both good and bad. This awareness led me to writing this article so you and I can practice these five great and easy tips to developing great habits at home. These habits will help us stay healthy and look our best! First step Keep a schedule
Schedules help us to thrive. a. As you start to create your schedule, think about how you spend your time. Keep track of how you are spending your time; write it down. b. Determine when you are most productive; use that time for work. c. Pay attention to wasted time. Plan your schedule the night before. Second step Take care of your skin a. Your skin is the largest organ we have. As we head into warmer weather it is important to change up our skincare routine and be sure to add a sunscreen. b. Remember that the proper SPF will help you to Stay Pretty Forever!
Third step Eat healthy foods What’s in your fridge? Choosing a healthy diet can be a challenge in the best of times. Make sure to choose the right foods: a. consider dark leafy greens which are packed with nutrients; b. be sure that 15%-35% of your daily calories come from protein (lean meats, legumes, tofu, nuts). c. not all fat is bad! Try to avoid trans fats and saturated fats. d. stock up on super foods like strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, salmon e. drink plenty of water and avoid sugary drinks
Fourth step Stay Fit and Exercise
If you are just starting out, go slow and be kind. Create an exercise routine. a. Start with a 10-15 minute walk 3 times a week, add time to that each week b. Find an online class (Yoga, HIIT, Zumba, Barre) c. Stay consistent
Fifth step Make time for loved ones
In this time, you may be feeling disconnected. There are wonderful tools to help us connect virtually (Zoom, FaceTime, Facebook live, etc.). Make sure to connect with loved ones each week.
In order to make a behavior a habit you must embrace the process and commit to the process. It’s easier to develop a new habit if you commit to small, incremental, and intentional improvements. If you don’t take the time now to assess your current habits and plan for your new positive habits, you may end up regretting your actions.
Here an idea for you: Call your friends and ask them what new habits have they formed since they’ve been at home?
