For many people the concept of beauty is based on what they see in magazines or on television. Unfortunately, the media often skews the images to create a false reality. You need to figure out what beauty is to you. In this article, you will come across some good advice on beauty.
If you notice that your nail polish is becoming thick in the bottle or sticky, just add some acetone, or nail polish remover, into the bottle. After only adding a tiny bit, seal up the top and shake thoroughly. You’ll be able to get another application or two from the nail polish.
To protect your hair from heat damage, let it air dry as often as possible. The hair and the scalp can really suffer from the curling iron, straightening iron, and hair dryer. If you must dry your hair, use the low heat setting on the hair dryer. By doing this, your hair will remain soft and silky.
Putting on sunscreen will definitely protect you from the sun’s rays. When selecting which sunscreen to use, make sure you pay attention to the products which contain healthy antioxidants and other ingredients. You can keep your skin looking younger and firmer with the right rich protecting ingredients.
Make sure you aren’t allergic to eyelash adhesives before applying them. Add a small bit of glue to the bare skin of your forearm to see if any chemicals in the glue will cause a reaction. Do not expose the test area to anything else.
For your eyes, emphasize grays and blues by using copper, apricot and gold eyeshadow colors. Look for mascara colors in rust, midnight blue or even those with a touch of violet. These colors will accentuate the blue hue of your eyes and really make them pop.
Sharpen your eyeliner pencils and lip liners often. Sharpening will also make them clean, and they will produce a clean line. The best way to sharpen them is to place them in the freezer or fridge for about 10 minutes and then sharpen them.
Use a soft brush to massage your skin before your shower to stimulate the oil glands and make it more healthy and moisturized. Do the brushing using a circular motion from the bottom up, and then shower gently with soap.
Peppermint Oil
Purified water and a bit of peppermint oil make a fantastic mouthwash. Add a single drop of peppermint oil for each ounce of water used. You want to make sure the water is boiled first and then measure the oil into a ceramic container. The next step is to add the boiling water. Using a clean cloth, such as a handkerchief, cover the container, then allow it to cool. Next, decant the mixture into an airtight bottle or container. This can now be used as a mouthwash.
Don’t compare your beauty to that of Hollywood starlets. Beauty is a personal thing. Apply what you have learned here to focus on your own beauty, not a fake representation of it.
