Whenever I see Hailey Bieber’s forever dewy complexion, my oily, acne-prone skin quakes with envy. I always wonder how the heck her face manages to look so clean, clear and radiant. But, truth be told, Hailey is just like the rest of us. Her skin gets stressed and irritated from time to time, resulting in blemishes, dry patches and a weakened skin barrier. Luckily, there are products that tackle these exact issues, and the model has let us in on her secret weapon.
Alongside Tower 28 Beauty’s SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray and two Rhode Skin products, Mrs. Bieber swears by Avène’s Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream. The ultra-rich, nourishing formula shields skin from external aggressors, heals, hydrates and keeps the skin’s natural barrier healthy.
It also happens to have a 20 percent discount at Amazon right now. Through January 10, you can get this skin-saving cream for just $22 instead of $28.
@haileybieber What i’ve been reaching for this week as my skin has been feeling irritated and inflamed 🤍 @Tower 28 Beauty @rhode @AveneUSA 🤍🤍
In the model’s TikTok, she says her complexion acts up because of stress, travel, lack of sleep, PMS and testing out a new product, which are very common causes of irritated, inflamed skin. Hailey adds that she remedies all of this by applying calming, healing formulas that keep bacteria away. Doesn’t seem like too much to ask for, right?
Avène’s moisturizer fires on all cylinders thanks to its skin-loving ingredients. First off, it contains C+ – Restore, a proprietary postbiotic ingredient that is chock-full of proteins that aid in skin restoration. A copper-zinc sulfate complex maintains a healthy skin environment—which promotes faster recovery—and the brand’s signature thermal spring water soothes skin.
After learning of this stellar trio of ingredients, it makes total sense why Hailey reaches for this cream when her skin is rebelling. Whether you’re in the middle of a stressful work situation, have been on back-to-back flights or can’t seem to get the optimal eight hours of sleep each night, there’s no need to panic when you have Avène’s Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream in your corner.
The formula is free of fragrance, parabens and alcohol, making it ideal for those with sensitive and stressed-out skin. It’s also non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. Avéne has clearly done the most to make sure your irritated complexion can get back on track as fast as possible.
Hailey isn’t the only person who relies on this moisturizer. The product flaunts an impressive 4.9-star overall rating on Avène’s site.
“My favorite moisturizer ever. I’m not recovering from any procedures, I just love this stuff,” wrote one reviewer. “Combined with the Eau Thermale, it sinks in and doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily. The chronic dry patches and itchiness I used to feel are gone. My skin is clearer than ever before—I’ve never used any moisturizer that does such a great job!”
Another one wrote, “Cicalfate Restorative cream is the best cream I have ever used. I tried so many creams and I can tell everyone this cream heals your skin, calms red skin and is hydrating. I use it every day.”
Get your hands on the Hailey Bieber-approved Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream to leave your dry, irritated skin in the past.

In the season of holiday cheer, most of us want to relax, grab a book, and cuddle near the fireplace. This is the perfect occasion to put exercise on the backburner and instead devote our time to cooking or visiting family.
In this kind of environment, it’s easy to go overboard when sweets, alcohol, and gourmet dinners are a regular occurrence. But not all of us want to do the Holidays that way. If you want to limit the extra calories this holiday season, keep these 8 tricks in mind:
Heading to the store to pick out last-minute gifts? Forget circling the parking lot in your car looking for the closest parking spot. Get in the habit of parking further away and get extra calorie-burning steps in without a second thought.
Do you know how much sugar is in your favorite cocktail? If you prefer cocktails with mixers in them, like frozen margaritas, hard eggnog, or Pina coladas, you could be consuming well over one day’s worth of sugar in just one glass.
If you’re watching your waistline and your calorie consumption, opt for a small glass of wine or a light beer at social gatherings.
If finding motivation to work out over the holidays is difficult, ask a friend to join forces with you. A workout buddy isn’t just someone to hold you accountable to your fitness goals, they can also provide the emotional support and social companionship that makes staying fit and active fun!
Go ice skating together, hit the hiking trails as a pair, simply head out for a daily walk each day – the ideas are endless.
Have you heard? Eating more plant-based proteins can lower your risk of early death. The holidays are filled with lots of decadent meat-centered meals which can leave you with little room left in your tummy for whole plant-based foods.
It’s easy to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes, though. Try:
Holiday schedules fill up fast with travel, parties, family gatherings, volunteering, you name it! If you rely on lengthy but intermittent workouts to meet your exercise goals, you may want to consider incorporating shorter, but more frequent exercise sessions during the holidays.
A quick half-hour of yoga, two 15-minute walks spread out during the day, 30 minutes of swimming… Finding faster ways to exercise more often will keep you energized and feeling fit throughout the holidays.
For older women with arthritis, back pain, and other musculoskeletal discomforts, exercising during cold weather months can feel almost impossible. Take preventative actions to address pain so it doesn’t keep you from health-benefiting fitness.
These steps may include eating anti-inflammatory foods, using topical creams and salves for relief, applying heat pads to ease the pain, or wearing orthotic aids for extra joint support – like a knee compression sleeve or supportive back brace that helps to both relieve and prevent pain.
During the holidays it is easier than you might think to become dehydrated – dry, winter air pulls moisture out of your skin, alcohol and caffeine can act as diuretics, and cooler weather leaves you less parched than during the summer, so you simply don’t feel super thirsty.
Carrying a reusable water bottle with you everywhere will serve as a constant reminder to consume more H2O!
Maintaining a good sleep schedule all the time will serve many purposes. Lack of sleep has not only been linked to cognitive decline, but it also can make you groggy and less inspired to keep up with your exercise routine over the holidays.
Sticking with your regular times for going to bed and waking up, even amidst the holiday shenanigans, will have a more positive effect on your health and wellbeing than you know.

Welcome new year! You may be thinking about your health and wellness goals. You may have a lot of them, and you realize that if you spread yourself too thin, you will not be successful. Or you may be wondering which specific activities will help you achieve the results you want.
To help myself, my clients, and you
stay on track, I’ve come up with a KISS (Keep it Simple Sweetie) morning
routine that will help you focus on the essentials and start each day with
energy and vitality.
My morning routine consists of three
simple steps: hydrate, meditate, lubricate. It’s simple and easy to remember.
You can customize it for your personal preferences and needs.
Most importantly – it works! These
three simple steps will keep you feeling good as you navigate each day of your
50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
Let’s break down each step and then
you can personalize them to apply in your own life.
Start each day with water. If I’m
allowed to give only one piece of health advice for the rest of my life, it
would be, “Drink water!” Water is the only beverage we truly need.
Water is the absolute first thing your
body needs when you wake up. Overnight we lose fluids through breathing and
sweat. You may crave tea, coffee, or other caffeinated beverage, but water should come first.
I start each day with warm water with
lemon and ginger. Drink water to your preference – cold, room temperature,
warm, or hot; plain or with lemon.
If you want to know more about water –
how much you should drink, how to filter it, and whether you need expensive
water merchandise – here’s my free Water Action Guide which provides all those
answers and more.
Immediately after I hydrate and take
care of morning hygiene, I meditate. The benefits of meditation are now widely
known and reported in scientific journals. Meditation lowers stress hormones,
improves cognition, and strengthens our sense of well-being.
You can reap the rewards of meditation
without aligning yourself with any particular system, faith, or dogma. Just sit
quietly, relax, and breathe.
You may choose a different practice
that helps you feel centered and peaceful. Consider prayer, journaling,
visualization, and reading inspirational literature.
The important thing for me is to spend
time each day in the quiet, before the day’s activities. It helps me be calmer,
clearer, kinder, and more grateful. Meditation helps me be a better version of
myself.
My personal meditation routine was inspired by the teachings
of Kriya Yoga.
Lubricate has to do with your joints.
As we age, we may feel stiff when we wake up in the morning. We notice that we
feel better as the day goes on, after our bodies are in motion.
Motion is lotion, and there are many
wonderful ways to move your body. Don’t wait! Hydrate, meditate, then
lubricate. Do yoga or Pilates, go to an exercise
class, make up your own routine, take a walk, or swim. It’s all good, and the
most important thing about movement is to do it!
Here are a few strategies to enhance
your KISS morning routine of Hydrate, Meditate, Lubricate.
Build in more healthy habits around
this three-part morning routine. For example, start your day with gratitude.
Say, “Thank you! I’m glad to be alive. Today I’m grateful for…” Then get
started.
Hydrate, Meditate, and Lubricate
BEFORE you turn on computer, tablet, or phone. Checking texts and emails eats
up valuable morning self-care time. Those things can wait.
Consider making “hydrate, meditate,
lubricate” a set of bookends for the day. End your evening with hot tea (only a
little so that you don’t have to visit the bathroom at night). Pray or
meditate. Then do a gentle stretch or a hot bath to ease your joints after the
day’s activities.
