Transform Your Looks With This Advice
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.
If you want to add a pinch of color to your face midday, consider stocking up on a stick of cream blush or a gel-based cheek blusher. Apply a small amount to the apples of your cheek, then blending in circular motions. This keeps your face looking fresh in a natural and easily applied in a manner that is especially flattering.
If you are struggling with frizzy hair you can try putting a small amount of hand cream in your hands then running it through your hair. This will help the stray strands stick together and ultimately hold your hair together more as a cohesive whole making you look much more beautiful.
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.
Avoid commercial “body butters” that contain chemicals, dyes and additives. All natural walnut oil or peanut oil make wonderful all-over body moisturizers. They are very inexpensive and are scent free. If you want scent, you can add the essential oil of your choice. After your bath, slather walnut or peanut oil on lavishly. Wrap up in an old terry-cloth robe and curl up with a good book or a movie while your moisture treatment soaks in.
Honey is a beauty secret that every woman should know about. Honey has many benefits for your skin, and not just when you consume it. Honey mixed with sugar is a good exfoliation technique for your skin. Add some to your face lotion to keep in the moisture. Add honey to the shampoo for maximum softness and a nice shine.
Look downward in the mirror when you apply shadow to your eyes. You should always avoid pulling your eyelids and applying pressure to the lids. If you keep your gaze at a downward angle, you will get your makeup right on your first try. In this position you can see your full lid clearly without the need to use your fingers to hold your eyelids down.
If you have dry skin, or older looking skin, you need to be exfoliating on a weekly basis. You should also do this if you are applying any kind of tanning lotion. You want to exfoliate first to get the most out of the tanning lotion you are using.
Use petroleum jelly frequently for softer toes and feet! Petroleum jelly is one of the cheapest, yet most effective ways to keep your feet hydrated and your skin soft. Apply petroleum jelly every other day for feet that are smooth, rather than dry and peely.
The simplest and absolute cheapest way to reduce morning eye puffiness is using wet cotton balls thatbyou have put in the refrigerator! Simply soak the cotton balls under a running faucet, or use bottled water if your tap contains a lot of chlorine, pop them in a plastic bag and store them in the fridge. Come morning when your eyes are half closed and puffy, those cold cotton balls will work instant magic!
Never ever apply a tanning lotion when you are in a hurry as this will always lead to disaster! This is one beauty item you really need to take your time with otherwise you end up looking freaky, so smooth the tanning lotion well over elbows, knees and feet and wash your hands thoroughly to avoid streaking. Use your tanning lotion well in advance of sleeping to prevent a complete botch job and well in advance of any special occasion, just in case!
For those days when you have skimped on sleep the previous night and it shows in your eyes, skip lining or applying mascara to your lower lash line. Put the focus on your lids and upper lashes, and you are less likely to accentuate dark circles, making you look even more tired.
If you are interested in improving your physical appearance, you will have to start with your mind. Self-confidence and knowledge are an important part of your physical attractiveness. By learning the best ways to maintain your looks, things become much simpler.
Keep petroleum jelly on hand for a variety of beauty tricks. Use it for removing eye make-up, it is gentle and effective. Use it as an intensive dry skin treatment. Use petroleum jelly in place of lip gloss for healthy soft lips. It is widely available and cost effective.
Open the pores on your face by steaming your face often. It can be done quite easily by filling a bowl with hot water and holding your face over the bowl with a towel over your head. It will open the pores, draw out deep dirt and debris and make your skin glow. Splash your face with cold water directly after to close the pores back up.
Stay aware of the popular color palettes, but don’t necessarily follow them all. Your whole body changes when you grow older. Therefore, colors that didn’t complement you in the past may complement you now. Also, the opposite may be true. Colors that looked fantastic on you may not fit you very well now. You should always utilize flattering colors, and stay away from those colors which aren’t flattering.
