When you take time to apply proper beauty techniques and products, it really does show. It shows that you care about proper application and that you want to look your “your best.” That is very admirable. As with any other skill set, you can always add and improve. Below are some tips to help.
Give your cuticles some nourishment with a weekly Vaseline application. This will help to keep your nails as healthy as possible during the day. It also keeps your cuticles looking great. You’ll notice results right away.
You can enhance hazel or dark green eyes by using colors that bring out the golds and greens to appear like candlelight. Some great highlight colors are silver, lavender and purple.
If you have a wide face, you can make it appear less wide by applying a rosy, creamy blush only on the apples of both your cheeks. However, you should be careful to not apply it too close to your nose or extend the color out past your ears as this will make your face appear even wider.
Heat your eyelash curler with your blow dryer. Hold your curler in front of your hair dryer for a few seconds. Be sure to check the temperature before using it on your eyelashes because it could burn you. Your eyelashes will curl better with a little heat applied to them.
Commit to drinking enough water every day. You need to drink eight to ten glasses a day for maximum beauty benefit. Being hydrated will help you look younger, and will also help you keep in better overall fitness. Do not neglect yourself and you will have great results from any beauty program.
Keep your face looking beautiful and young by investing in an appointment with a board certified dermatologist or doctor. Many spa treatments that are marketed as facials can contain unnecessary ingredients, harmful substances, and harsh applications that can easily leave your skin damaged and in worse shape than before. A dermatologist’s goal is to help you; a spa employee’s goal is to sell more products.
Always remove makeup before going to bed. If you sleep with your makeup on, you increase the likelihood you will get acne and blackheads. Makeup can trap dirt and oil on your face. Clean and tone your face every night. Don’t forget to add moisturizer when you are finished cleaning.
Pat moisturizer into your skin instead of rubbing it. Most people rub their moisturizer into their skin. This can actually disperse the moisturizer to different parts of your skin or even remove most of it entirely. Try patting it over your skin instead. Your skin will absorb it more evenly.
Separate products for softening, protecting, and coloring are no longer necessary! Try using a tinted moisturizer instead of a typical foundation. You can save yourself a lot of time and money buying a lightly tinted moisturizer with a sunscreen to replace the heavier old-fashioned foundations and creams.
To get softer and sexier lips use a honey scrub! Take 3 drops of honey, and mix it with half a teaspoon of sugar. Apply the mixture liberally to your lips, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. When you wash it off, you’ll find your lips have gotten softer and may even look fuller.
To get eyelashes that really pop, eyelash extensions are the perfect solution. It is not best to wear these every single day, but they are wonderful for a party or a wedding. They can look very natural as long as you don’t go overboard, and will bring out the color of your eyes.
Use a cleansing shampoo at least once a week. Your hair gets all sorts of buildup on it and the normal shampoo does help, but nothing really cleanses it better then a cleansing shampoo. After you do this, you will notice that your hair just feels softer and lighter. It also looks better too.
To help your makeup last longer, layer it when you apply it. Place your blush over your foundation, and then set it with a powder. Layering makeup gives the makeup something extra hold, and also creates a softer, more youthful look. Primer is especially useful when trying to create layers of makeup.
If you discover small, reddish bumps on the undersides of your arms, it may be keratosis pilaris, a common skin condition frequently associated with eczema. They are seen more so in the wintertime because the air is drier causing dry skin. To reduce the appearance of these bumps, first gently exfoliate the affected area, and then slather on a good moisturizer.
You have the tools, the products, and the skill set, to apply these tips in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Fabulous! The above tips were constructed to add to your personal regimen, as you are never done learning or improving. You may have even found a new “regular” or favorite for yourself.
