You have walked past the beauty counter in department stores a thousand times on countless trips to the mall. Did you know they’ll make you up if you ask? The following article has some great tips and advice for you to start using all the beauty tools at your disposal.
For a convenient container to carry some of your favorite moisturizer fill a small jar or an empty lip gloss container. This portable container can fit into a purse, car, work desk drawer or travel bag. If you have dry skin then apply moisturizer right away.
Regardless of your skin type, you should thoroughly wash your face with a mild, gentle cleanser anywhere from one to two times per day. No matter what, you must always take off your makeup before beginning your cleaning routine. If you don’t, you may experience acne complications.
Sometimes our beauty is interrupted by a skin blemish such as a pimple. When this happens to you, try blotting a drop of toothpaste on the area. Let the toothpaste dry for about 10 minutes. Following this tip can help reduce the size of the pimple significantly.
If you have an angular face, you might want to de-emphasize the rough edges. Use a coral or creamy rose blush to soften a squarish face. Apply the blush with your fingers on the apples of the cheeks, then, using gentle, tugging motions, spread the color outward and upward towards your temples.
Drinking water is one of the best ways to improve your skin’s appearance. Water can help flush toxins and wastes out of the body. Not only is it good for your skin, it is good for your health as well.
Peppermint Oil
You can make your own mouthwash from peppermint oil and purified water. Just one small droplet of peppermint oil in an ounce of purified water is all you need. You want to make sure the water is boiled first and then measure the oil into a ceramic container. Add boiling water to the pot. Cover the container with a clean cloth (i.e. a handkerchief) and allow to cool. Empty into a container that has a tight fitting lid. Now you have homemade mouthwash!
Use honey in your beauty regimen. In addition to eating it, there are many ways that it can improve the look of your skin. Honey mixed with sugar is a good exfoliation technique for your skin. Massage honey into your facial skin for a natural skin cleanser, and wash it off with warm water afterward. Adding honey in with your regular shampoo will leave it shiny, manageable and touchably soft.
Take a kitchen sponge in your bath and use it to scrub your skin. They are basically the same as kitchen sponges except the price is usually much lower, and you can buy them in a pack of three or more to save even more.
If you ever get an over-glow shine in a club from all that dancing, the quickest remedy is their cheap toilet paper! The toilet paper will work great to take oil from your skin. Take off a piece and press it on where the shine is.
Wear Sunscreen
To maintain the beauty and youthfulness of your skin, it is critical to wear sunscreen. While many people apply sunscreen in the summer, if you want to keep your skin wrinkle-free, you should also wear sunscreen during the winter. Your hands and face get more sun than you would think during the winter.
