If you’re like most people, looking beautiful every day is central to feeling good about your physical appearance. However, making sense of all the products and techniques associated with beauty can be complicated. There are thousands of different facial creams, lotions, and “beauty systems” out there that it all becomes a blur. Follow these steps to get the beauty you are craving.
Keep a bit of your favorite moisturizer in a small container such as an empty lip gloss pot. This teensy container is easy to stash in your handbag, glove box, overnight bag or your desk drawer. Use a dab of moisturizer to freshen up when your skin feels dry.
TIP! Exfoliate before you go for a spray tan. This will remove the old cells from the surface of your skin and give it a new smoothness.
To protect your hair from heat damage, let it air dry as often as possible. Straighteners, curling irons, and dryers can be harsh on your head. If you absolutely must blow-dry your hair, you should use your dryer on its lowest heat setting. Your hair will retain a softer, silkier look for much longer.
A “hot spray” is a great investment if you wish to protect your hair from the harsh heat of hair dryers. This can be found in any beauty section of a generic store like Target or Wal-Mart, and is very useful for preventing split ends and helping hair to dry more quickly. It works by locking in the moisture and smells terrific!
You can fix your fingernail that has torn with a tiny part of a teabag. You need to take the tea from the teabag first. Then, cut out a piece of the teabag in the shape of your nail to provide coverage. Put this piece over the affected area, then you can paint this if you please.
TIP! Get an eyelash curler. Many people forget about how fantastic they can make their eyelashes appear by using a curler.
Create an alcohol free, all natural mouthwash by mixing peppermint oil with purified water. To use this method, just put in a drop of oil for each ounce of water. You want to make sure the water is boiled first and then measure the oil into a ceramic container. It is important to add the boiling water next. Use a clean cloth to cover the container and let it cool. Pour the mixture into a bottle that you can close with a lid. There you have it, your own, ready to use, bottle of homemade mouthwash.
Unless you have flawless skin, choose a matte blush rather than a shimmer blush. Shimmer brushes typically highlight any blemishes on your body, which include scars, bumps, moles, and acne, which is not what you are going to want. You can keep an appearance of vibrant skin free of imperfections by masking blemishes with matte blushes.
Don’t forget about your eyelashes when it comes to beauty. Make your eyelashes look longer and fuller with a long-lasting lengthening mascara. Many mascaras claim that they can curl your lases and give them more volume. The truth is that these products often just leave your lashes clumpy and flake off. They tend to weigh down the lashes and thus cause eye irritation. Try using a lengthening, waterproof formula instead. This will give you plump, attractive lashes that curl nicely.
TIP! Regardless of how hard we try to maintain a clear complexion, almost everyone deals with acne and pimples at some point. If this has happened to you, a quick home remedy is to put a small blot of regular toothpaste on it.
Beauty will change your present and your future, so follow these techniques and use the recommended products. The information provided will help you choose products that are right for you and help you develop your own beauty routine. Using this advice is a great start.
