As the old saying goes, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Beauty is what you make of it, and what you consider to be beautiful. That being said, this article will give you some beauty secrets and tips that you can start applying to your life immediately.
Keep eye drops on you at all times. Keep them in your purse, desk or both. This will help your eyes glisten through the day and make you not look so tired. Looking at a computer all day can also make your eyes red and keeping eye drops around will help that.
Steam your face. You can do this by placing your face over a hot bowl of water with a towel over your head. This will open up your pores and draw out impurities and bacteria. You should clean your face, then rinse it with cold water so you close your pores back up.
Use a moisturizer on your face. A facial moisturizer should be used, even if your skin is greasy or oily. It is important to utalize a moisturizer that contains an SPF as well.
Baking soda can actually restore shine and luster to tired and dull hair! Use a dime sized circle of baking soda mixed with your normal shampoo. Wash your hair as you normally would. This strips away product build-up and leaves your hair looking shiny and clean.
For beautiful hair, add oil to your hair care routine. You can make your hair shinier, less frizzy, and mask graying by adding a few drops of oil to your hair every morning. Good oils to use are castor, rosemary, or sesame oils. All of them are cost effective and widely available.
Add honey to your beauty treatments. There are many reasons to use honey in your diet and on your skin. Try adding a little honey to some sugar for a handy exfoliating solution. Adding honey to your lotion will increase moisture retention. Add honey to the shampoo for maximum softness and a nice shine.
Make sure you implement shimmery eyeshadow in your beauty routine. Adding a little shine to your lids makes your eyes appear bright and large. Use a shade that is very close to your skin tone. Different colors and techniques can be fun and interesting if you are willing to give them a try.
When applying eyeshadow, angle your head so that you can look down at your reflection in the mirror. Avoid pulling or pressing on your eyelids. Make it easy to apply your shadow right on the first attempt by lowering your gaze and then applying your makeup. This will allow you to see your lid clearly without having to touch them.
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.
Enhance your eyes by doing work on your eyelashes. Many women just apply mascara and go on their way. If you take the additional second to curl your eyelashes prior to applying the mascara, you will accentuate the eyes better than you would if you just apply the mascara.
Even if you have greasy skin, you should apply moisturizer to it, at least, when you go to bed. Oil on your face may lead you to believe that you have an excessive amount of moisture in your skin but that is not the kind of moisture that your skin needs, in order to remain healthy.
Keep a small tube of hand cream in your purse to use as a hair tamer on a bad hair day. In the summer, use a tiny amount of hand cream, and run it through your hair; the tips of your fingers will tame the frizz. In the winter, put a dime-size amount of hand cream on your hands, and smooth it over your hair to eliminate static.
Use coffee ground to smooth your hands. Don’t throw out old coffee grounds. Save them in a bag in your fridge. Twice a week, before moisturizing your hands, use a teaspoon of the coffee grounds and rub your hands together. Wash your hands, then apply lotion as you normally would.
If your skin look does not satisfy you, then think about consulting a dermatologist about a chemical peel. Chemical peels help get rid of dead skin cells, along with boosting skin regeneration by burning your top skin layer. The final result is clearer, more youthful looking skin.
If you love the brightness of red lipstick, but hate how it looks when it smears, then you should keep some makeup remover handy. If the dreaded smear ever happens, use a cotton ball or tissue dipped in makeup remover to erase the stain. Now you won’t have to worry what color lipstick you choose for the day.
So you like the smell of your fancy soap, and just don’t have the heart to use those pretty bars in your bath or shower? Just put them in your underwear or shirt drawer to capture those scents you love. You will be smelling fresh and clean all day long.
Take care of your teeth. A beautiful smile can brighten your appearance just as much as a terrible smile can hurt your appearance. Make sure to have dental checkups as well as to fix any cosmetic dental problems that make you feel uncomfortable. Being happy with your smile will show on your face; it will make you look that much better.
