There are many things you can do to up your beauty factor, inside and out. Here are some tips and tricks to get you started on the road to beauty. Regardless of whether the changes you want to make are big or little, you have to start somewhere, and these tips are a great place to begin.
Apply a few tablespoons of sweet almond oil to your warm bath for a relaxing treat that will leave even the roughest, driest skin feeling supple and soft. You can also apply it sparingly to extremely dry and damaged hair – but only on the inch or so above the ends.
Wear gloves when you are applying tanning lotions and keep a towel near you. This will help you if you make a mess and to keep your palms from turning orange or tan. You should also make sure to pull your hair back so your tan is evenly applied.
If a social occasion is on your calendar right after work, refresh your face by using a fluffy brush for dusting matte powder on the oiliest parts of your face. Make sure that you take care of your cheeks, as this is where a lot of oil will fester.
Use a face mask at least once a week. Depending on which one you choose, this will help remove impurities from your face. A mud or clay mask is best for removing impurities. You will see results immediately. Once you find a mask you like, you should stick with it.
In winter time, it can be helpful to use moisturizers or highlighters that have warm tones like gold or pink. Apply the highlighter with a makeup sponge, dabbing it on your brows and fleshy part of your cheeks for a dewy look. Don’t overdo it though, because it’s easy to just make your face look shiny and oily.
Let your hair cool off after blow drying it. Letting your hair cool will help set your hair style. If your hair has a hard time holding any style try using hairspray while blow drying it, using curling irons or hot rollers. This will ensure your hairstyle stays put.
Keep your skin, body, hair and nails looking great by eating a healthy, well-balanced diet. Providing your body with the vitamins and nutrients it needs is the most effective way to look your best. So, remember that beauty starts with healthy food choices while shopping for groceries.
Avoid licking your lips. When you constantly lick your lips, rather than become moist, they actually dry out. Try carrying a lip balm or gloss in your pocket or purse, and put it on anytime you feel like doing some licking. You will soon find your lips in beautiful condition.
To whiten and brighten your teeth, add a little baking soda to your toothbrush once a week. Just sprinkle a little baking soda in the palm of your hand, dampen your toothbrush and press the bristles into the baking soda, add toothpaste and brush your teeth as usual. Don’t do this more than once a week since baking soda can be hard on your tooth enamel if overused.
Remember that fragrance rises. Scents rise. When applying perfume or scented body mist, put it lower on your body. Do not apply too much by putting a little everywhere. Just apply a little around your ankles. The scent will rise without being as overpowering as some perfumes tend to be.
Having nice eyelashes will greatly improve the appearance of your face. If you are going to use mascara, always make use of an eyelash curler beforehand. This will make your lashes more visible, help your eyes look larger, and draw a lot of admiring attention.
Beauty tip for tired eyes! Eye gel will help reduce the appearance of puffy or tired eyes. Keep this in the refrigerator, and use it for an extra boost if you are really tired. You can feel very tired without having to show it on your face. Just make sure to use the gel on a clean face.
Put your vegetables on your skin. Vegetables have many health benefits when you eat them, and several more when used as a beauty treatment. Try cool cucumbers or sliced potato on your eyes to relieve puffiness and redness. Use water left from boiling cabbage, broccoli, or kale for a healthy skin toner.
People who don’t take the following advice are guaranteed to look terrible. Groom your eyebrows, and make sure you can tell where one eyebrow ends and the next one begins. Trimming and perhaps even plucking your eyebrows will serve to enhance your appearance and give your face a more polished look.
The oldest beauty secrets are often the best ones out there. For instance, a sudden way of tightening up your face is using a mask made from lemon juice and egg whites. Use 2 egg whites and a tablespoon of lemon juice then apply it to your face. Leave it on for about a half an hour, then rinse it off. It will freshen and tighten your skin.
Sipping soda with a straw that is positioned away from your teeth and towards the back of your mouth greatly reduces the amount of contact your teeth have with enamel eroding substances like soda. Always use a straw to drink sodas and other beverages similar to it. This helps prevent enamel erosion and keeps your teeth looking amazing.
A basic over-the-counter antihistamine (e.g. Benadryl) can be the solution to your problems if heavy exertion like exercising tends to leave your face flushed for extended periods of time. If your health and hydration are both sound, Benadryl should be safe to take.
Practicing good basic hygiene is an easy way to maintain ones beauty while doing things that help maintain the body. Showering, brushing ones teeth, and using deodorant are all ways that one can maintain their appearance for others with out doing anything hard or outside of ones daily routine.
Now you’re ready to start using the advice above, be it one tip or all. You will see that even small changes will make a big difference in how you feel and look. Enjoy the improved version of you!
