Beauty & Skin Care Tips For Real Beauty
Everybody wants to look beautiful and we all
can. A few simple tips will help you change your looks and your
lives but remember you can be nothing without confidence and
yes, it is all about inner beauty at the end of the day!
Skin
Our skin (especially on our face) is a
constant source of stress for most women, for most of our lives. The
pure, translucent and creamy texture of baby skin disappears before
we can even begin to appreciate it. As teenagers, we have what we
call teenage skin problems and by the time we overcome all those, we
suddenly start facing age!
Though a lot of skin problems can be blamed med
on genes, with the kind of products available and treatments
available in the market, anything is possible.
However, the most important way to maintain
your skin is to clean, moisturize and protect your skin on a daily
basis.
Daily cleansing, (more than once a day
depending on your routine) is of vital importance. If you are always
on the go it is advisable to carry wet towels or an astringent with
you, even if it means re-applying your make-up.
If you have oily skin, splash your face with
water a couple of times during the day and use oil-free cleansers
and toners.
Use  a sun block (preferably a water
proof one) every day (and not only when you are on a
vacation).
Use a moisturizer (on your body as well) at
least once a day. You could use an oil-free moisturizer if you have
an oily skin, but a moisturizer is a must.
Before applying or reapplying make-up make
sure, your skin is absolutely clean (this will help preventing
blocked pores).
Again, make sure your skin is devoid of all
make-up before you sleep. The skin repairs itself while you sleep
and blocked pores will only come in the way!
Hair
No matter how much effort, time or money you
spend on the perfect hair cut or a color job, nothing is more
attractive than a head of healthy hair. For healthy , shiny hair,
you need to:
- Eat healthy fresh vegetables, salads,
fruits and fish.
- Avoid cigarettes
- Take vitamin supplements Vitamin B, C
and E
- Wash your hair regularly be gentle, use
a mild shampoo and scrub with the pad of your fingers
- Condition your hair regularly
- Get a cut to complement your face, body,
hair texture and lifestyle. Spend time deciding your cut consult
your hair dresser and be confident and comfortable before you get
your cut.
- If you decide to color you hair, think
about the colors you wear and are comfortable with. Remember to
use color-specific shampoos and to do regular protein
treatments.
Making
Up!
Base
Most of us have yellow skin, rather than
pink. The most common error made in choice of foundation, choosing a
base thats too pink! Fortunately, most cosmetic companies have now
come out with foundations with yellow pigmentation. According to US
make-up artist Kevin Aucion, Make-up should blend with the color of
the neck, not the face. These days some companies hand out samples
for trial it is always helpful to take the sample home and try the
foundation for a few days that way you will know how you feel with
it before buying the full size. Applying foundation with a sponge,
brush or your fingers is an individual decision and should be done
with whatever is most comfortable for you, but these are few ground
rules you can work with.
- A compact is best applied with a sponge
(usually comes with the compact you buy)
- Liquid foundation is best applied with
your fingers.Spot and smudge. The other option is wedge shaped
sponge
- Loose powder foundation is best applied
with a big brush.
- Cream foundation is best applied with the
fingers or a wedge shaped sponge
- Foundation mousse is best applied with a
soft flat sponge or with your fingers.
- To dilute or for lighter coverage, you
could dampen the applicator you use before dipping into
foundation
A foundation works best with a good
concealer make sure your concealer matches you skin tone
perfectly. It is best to dab on your concealer (lightly) after
applying your foundation. That way the foundation will not wipe off
the concealer. You could apply a translucent powder after to
conceal the concealer!
Mouth
The best reason to buy a lipstick is to make
you feel better, to help enhance your mood and to just add that
special boost to your life. Lipstick can provide a subtle or
dramatic change to your natural look, and will always make you feel
different, like hair color, for instance.
The worst reason to buy a lipstick is because
you think its a beautiful color or because it is the latest rage.
The color you choose should suit your complement your skin tone, you
hair color and your eyes not change them!
Lipsticks are available in four basic
textures: Glossy, sheer, creamy and matte.
Before applying any lipstick, make sure that
your lips are not chapped
