It’s our last day of our Beauty Resolutions giveaway but we hope you all keep your Beauty Resolutions through 2012!
Beauty Resolution #5: Don’t forget your body! We tend to be good about focusing on skincare for our face but the skin on the rest of our body need taken care of too! Everyday environmental exposure can take a toll on skin which, in time, begins to show as aging, uneven tone and dryness. Even a nice warm shower can strip skin of oils so it’s important to choose healthy, nourishing body products and use them regularly.
Our Firming Body Moisturizer contains Vitamin C and smoothing peptides, in addition to our age-defying, antioxidant-rich organic juice base to keep skin supple and healthy when used every day. If applying body lotion seems like an extra step that is begging to be skipped given your busy mornings, try keeping your body lotion in the shower so you’ll remember to apply it after you turn off the water and towel dry. This will also lock in the moisture from the shower before it has a chance to evaporate.

The resolution for Day 4 of our Beauty Resolutions Giveaway? Wear SPF everyday. (Yes, even during winter AND on cloudy days.) Since this is all about protecting skin from the SUN, tell us in the comments on our Facebook post what your favorite thing is to do to enjoy a sunny day! All comments are entered to win your Juice Beauty SPF product of choice!
Beauty Resolution #4: Wear SPF everyday! We know some of you are former sun worshippers (Karen even admits she was the original ‘beach bunny’ back in the day) but hopefully you’ve changed your sunning ways now that we’re aware of the very scary effects sun exposure can have. And though most of us are good about applying SPF when we’re vacationing somewhere sunny, UV protection is not just for the days you’re out at the beach – it needs to be a daily habit.
If you need further convincing…
1. Sun damage is the leading cause of skin aging (and who wants that?!). Damage from UVA rays causes skin to lose it’s elasticity and form lines and wrinkles. Additionally, sun exposure causes melanin to form as a defense mechanism to protect the skin from UV rays – this is what builds a tan. Pockets of melanin are what you later see as hyperpigmentation and age spots.
2. Melanoma, one of the most deadly forms of cancer, is the fastest growing cancer both in the United States and worldwide. Approximately 65% of melanomas are attributed to ultraviolet (UV) exposure so skin needs to be protected! Americans now have roughly a 1 in 50 chance of being diagnosed with melanoma at some point in their lives versus the 1 in 1500 chance there was 60 years ago.
Can you believe we’re already to the third day of our Beauty Resolution Giveaway?!

Beauty Resolution #3: Take a daily vitamin. You’ve heard it a million times, the old adage, you are what you eat. And it’s true! What you put in your body (or don’t put in your body) can affect your skin just as much what you put on it and having a lack or imbalance of vitamins can leave skin dry, dull or blotchy.
We’re going to assume you’re already doing your best to eat as many nutritious (and delicious) organic fruits and veggies as you can, so taking a daily multivitamin supports your already healthy habits to make sure you’re getting all the vitamins and antioxidants that help skin glow!
Not to be sneaky BUT we’re going to go ahead and count this resolution for two. Why? Well, if you haven’t caught on yet, we often lovingly refer to one of our most popular products as our ‘Daily Vitamin’ for the skin…do you know which one?
Leave your guess in the comments below OR on the Facebook post here. We’ll choose one winner with the right answer from each location to win this product – that’s two winners! (Want to double your chances? Leave your guess in both places!)
One of our loyal customers asked who won last year’s EcoChic Getaway! We posted the winner online last year but in case you missed it…
Juice Beauty loves Social Diva (who doesn’t, right?) and so we’re throwing a very special contest just for Divas!
Not to mention that we’re also throwing in a hot gift with purchase offer to tide you over until the winner is announced.
