Looking great can be like a daily job or you can remain beautiful intelligently. There are a lot of ways you can look great without having to put a lot of money and time into it. Read on for tips from the professionals in the beauty industry.
Regularly exfoliate your skin, especially your face. Even if you have very sensitive or dry skin, you can use gentle exfoliation up to three times weekly — any less will not reveal the true benefits of the plump, healthy skin cells that lie underneath your top layer of skin cells. You will ensure you face looks healthier and you will get rid of any dirt or oil build up.
Invest the extra money in a set of quality makeup brushes. Remember, these tools will be touching your face every single day. Spending more on these brushes can get you a set that will last for years. You should also pick up a bottle of brush cleaner, which is to be used regularly, at least twice per week. This removes dust and bacteria.
If you are light skinned or have light hair you may want to consider tinting your eyebrows. This will enhance the color of your eyebrows and will draw attention to your eyes and brows. You can tint your eyebrows by yourself and can find the the tint at most beauty stores.
You don’t need to buy expensive beauty products. Use natural products like aloe vera and white vinegar. You’ll see wonderful results with these natural products. For moisture that aloe cannot provide, use some Vitamin E oil. Tea tree oil is used as a toner for medicinal purposes.
Use peppermint oil and purified or filtered water to create your own no-alcohol mouthwash. Use a drop of oil per each ounce of water. Boil the water, then measure your oil into a glass container that is large enough to hold your mixture. Add boiling water for the next step. Use a clean cloth to cover the container while it cools. Pour this into a container, such as a bottle, with an air-tight lid. This can now be used as a mouthwash.
Keep your makeup light and simple. If you put on too much makeup you can stress your skin, and make yourself look older than you are. The best beauty is often the least complicated. Keep your routine to a quality moisturizer, followed with lip gloss and a good mascara.
Do you want to draw attention to your eyes? Use a waterproof, lengthening mascara to give your lashes more volume. Many brands of mascara have a formula specifically devoted to boosting length and curl. These mascaras can be very heavy. Your lashes may be weighed down by the mascara in these formulas. Try different products until you find one that gives you the desired effect. Your lashes will look thicker and have an upward curl to them.
To keep the skin around your eyes from getting dry, use a moisturizing eye cream every night. Maintaining good skin moisture in this area will also help you avoid dark under-eye circle and crow’s feet.
Blot oily skin. If you are out on the town and notice your face is oily, use toilet paper to blot your skin. This works as well as any blotting paper and will remove any excess oil you may have on your skin and give you a perfect flawless look.
To help increase the elasticity of skin and thereby reduce the chances of stretch marks, depend on olive oil! Everyone has olive oil in the kitchen and every week you need to bring it in the bathroom and use it in place of your regular moisturizer after showering. Massage it well into your stomach, buttocks and thighs for improved skin strength and to keep those nasty stretch marks away!
When applying a liquid liner, keep your eyes open to keep the line from looking uneven. Start by applying the liner in three dashes, one in the inside corner of the eye, one in the middle and one on the corner, then go back and connect the dashes for a smooth and beautiful line.
If you are like many who have a problem keeping your eyeliner where it is supposed to be, try applying your eye shadow on top of the eyeliner with a damp cotton ball. It will help to set the liner and keep it in its place longer than it would otherwise.
Make sure you keep some lotion handy for emergencies. You never know when your appearance will be in need of some quick fixes. You can use lotion to remedy dry skin and even smooth frizzy hair. Just put a little on your hand and pull it through your hair.
You may want to use eyelash extensions for special occasions. These look great on brides and at other formal occasions. The end result is a brighter, younger look. You’ll look amazing!
If you have discovered that the hair around you face is drying out and breaking off, you could be using hot irons or other heating tools too much. You could try an intense conditioner or create your own by adding two teaspoons of olive oil to the conditioner, and let it sit on the hairline for five minutes, and then rinse. Repeat this once a week.
