Novices can find beauty techniques overwhelming. You may feel overloaded by information due to the wealth of resources novices can now access. Below are some tips to assist you in getting all of this information organized to where you can start creating an effective beauty regimen.
Use Vaseline on your feet at night. The Vaseline will soften and hydrate the skin on your feet to give you that new-pedicure feeling. Try fitting this into your daily routine in order to get the most benefit from it and also to help you remember to do it. Smooth the Vaseline over your feet, and then slip on a pair of thick socks. The Vaseline will work on your feet as you sleep!
When you file your nails, make sure you don’t file in only one direction. This can put stress on your nails and cause them to weaken, become thin and break easily.
Plain yogurt can be used as a calcium-rich, beautifying skin treatment that will leave your body looking fresh and youthful. This technique is especially effective for those who are suffering from tightness or excessive dryness. Slather it on, then allow it to sit for about five minutes. After you rinse it off, your skin will be softer and silkier.
Emphasize the sharpness of your cheekbones by applying a shade of powder blush that is one shade deeper than your normal cheek color product. Using a blush brush, dab on a spot of the powder in the hollows of your cheeks just under the cheekbones. Remove excess powder, then blend in a circular motion.
Using eye shadow and liner are great ways to help your eyes look vibrant and standout, but when your eyes are bloodshot and unhealthy looking, your efforts will be useless. Put in eye drops prior to applying makeup around your eyes. You may want to keep an extra bottle with you for touch ups. Eye drops will provide instant relief when they are tired from too much computer time or being out in the sun.
To whiten and brighten your teeth, add a little baking soda to your toothbrush once a week. Just sprinkle a little baking soda in the palm of your hand, dampen your toothbrush and press the bristles into the baking soda, add toothpaste and brush your teeth as usual. Don’t do this more than once a week since baking soda can be hard on your tooth enamel if overused.
Avoid refined foods as part of your daily beauty routine. Refined foods take away most of the nutrients that would naturally be found in a food. Often times the good things are replaced by chemicals and fortifiers. Your overall health will vastly improve, not just your skin, nails, and hair.
Invest in makeup brushes. Brushes can be expensive, but they make a world of difference in the quality of your makeup applications. If you are on a budget, you can try searching online auction sites for great deals on high quality makeup brushes to save some money.
To open up your pores and have any blemishes removed, steaming is a wonderful option. Put your face over a bowl of steaming hot water with a dry towel placed on you head. Do this as long as you can being careful not to burn yourself. When you have had enough splash your face with cold water to close the pores and make your skin more firm.
To get even more mileage out of your favorite eye gel, keep it in the refrigerator! The ingredients in eye gel work hard to restore and protect the delicate skin around your eyes and keeping it cold enhances the refreshment factor ten fold! The cold will also work immediately to reduce that dreadful puffiness!
If your hair is fine, daily conditioner use will do more harm than good. Conditioning a couple times a week is sufficient when you have fine hair. Overuse of conditioner will make your hair look dull, and can weigh it down. Using less conditioner can help your fine hair look shiny and healthy.
Don’t smoke if you want to achieve true beauty. Smoking leads to wrinkles and aged skin. It can also cause yellow teeth and sallow skin. Quitting smoking, or not starting in the first place, can help to keep you young and vibrant looking. Consider this before lighting up.
Putting on your own nail polish can be very frustrating, especially when using your non-dominant hand. Next time, apply your normal two color coats and a topcoat in the evening (give the polish a few hours to dry before bedtime). Don’t worry too much if the polish gets on your cuticles. Then, in the morning, take a hot shower, and all the extra polish on your cuticles and skin will rub right off.
