People once thought only middle-aged women should use product on their skin. Today is a little different. There are many men now who take great care with their appearance. Looking good is more than just good genes. Using these suggestions, and you can obtain fabulous results.
Nail Polish
If your nail polish is becoming thick and sticky, consider adding a little nail polish remover to the bottle. Just a little bit of remover will go a long way. After adding the remover to the bottle you will need to shake the bottle well. This may get you a few more applications of nail polish.
Letting your hair dry naturally is the best way to prevent heat damage. When you use multiple heating devices, such as hair dryers and curling irons, you may be causing damage to your scalp and hair. Put your hairdryer on the lowest setting to avoid damage to your hair. Your hair will remain at its silky best for years to come.
Research as shown that symmetrical faces seem to be the most beautiful. When developing your own beauty routine, keep this in mind. Regardless of whether you are trimming your beard or applying make-up, you should make sure that the right and left sides are symmetrical (mirror images).
An odd but great trick is to apply Vaseline to your eyebrows right before you head to bed. This will help your brows to be nice and shiny. Try not to get vaseline on the surrounding skin, as it can clog pores and cause acne breakouts.
Daily Lotion
Always use a daily lotion on your face. Having greasy or oily skin doesn’t necessarily mean your skin is well moisturized, so make sure you still use a daily lotion. Make sure to use one that has sunscreen in it.
Before blow drying, spray your damp hair with a “hot spray”. This product is available at generic stores like Wal-Mart or Target, and will help prevent split ends as it helps your hair dry quickly. The formula in the protectant will keep your hair hydrated and smelling wonderful!
If your skin is looking dull from the winter weather, add some moisturizer with a warm gold or pink undertone. Apply the highlighter with a makeup sponge, dabbing it on your brows and fleshy part of your cheeks for a dewy look. Applied moderately, this undertone will blend in and look natural. If it looks shiny you have overdone it.
To make a foundation last longer, and save a little money, mix it with a moisturizer. Your make up will have a lighter look and if the moisturizer has sunblock, it is added protection as well.
Drink a lot of water daily if you want to maintain fresh and flawless-looking skin. Skin can look dull and dry if you don’t stay hydrated. Fight this by drinking 8-10 glasses of clean water every day. If the bland taste of water does not suit you, consider giving it some flavor with a lemon slice or dab of cranberry juice. You will see a dramatic difference in your skin’s appearance.
Shimmer should only be used sparingly. This will create a nice glowing effect. You can use highlighter on the higher parts of your face such as cheekbones, nose, and brow, and then use a layer of loose powder.
If possible, think about buying more than one container of each product you like to use, whether a powder, blush or lip gloss. The extras can be kept someplace convenient, like a drawer at your work station, and the others can be kept at your home. This can give you a strong backup plan if you are to forget a step when in a rush.
For long, healthy nails, massage a bit of petroleum jelly into the skin around your nails at least once weekly. By feeding the nail in this fashion, you are encouraging nail growth. Be sure to use a top coat when applying polish, as this will also help reduce chipping.
Beauty is not all about being lucky enough to look great. With a bit of effort, you can greatly improve your own beauty. It can be quite effective to put a bit of effort into improving one’s looks, as long as those efforts are based on good advice. Hopefully, the tips you have learned here can help you get the most from your beauty regimen.
