HOW TO FIX A BAD BEAUTY DAY!




1) DRINK UP

And this is not to forget the way your face looks today. Here we’re talking about moisturizing, so, about water. The major cause of a dull complexion and a tired face often lies in a lack of body fluids. First thing to do in the morning, then, is to drink a glass of water, maybe a lukewarm one, and on an empty stomach. OK, it’s not the best thing in life, but the positive outcome is undeniable. It is no chance that this is one of the oldest beauty tips ever.

2) KEEP YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN
It’s one of the worst (and more frequent) nasty surprises you can have when you wake up: you look tired and have very swollen eyelids. Well, you should know that in such a situation, you’d better not use an eyeshadow. It’s better to choose a black mascara: apply it two or three times, and then lightly curl your lashes with your forefinger before it dries out. Your eyes will look even bigger in this way.

3) BONNE MINE EFFECT
To have an immediate healthier look, it’s better to avoid powder products and choose creamy products instead. The blushes that are made of this texture not only have a more moisturizing effect, but they also feature a much more natural effect, especially if you choose a product with a bronze or pinkish colour. You’ll look like you’ve slept for 10 consecutive hours (more or less).

BEAUTY TIPS EVERY GIRL SHOULD KNOW



Never over-scrub:
 Sure, your exfoliating products all say “use daily” and some even suggest twice daily, but don’t believe everything they say. The cold, hard clinical fact is that too much scrubbing will actually slow down your cell turnover as your skin tries to protect itself. Slow cell turnover means faster signs of aging, dull looking skin and skin that will be more prone to break out from dead skin cell build up.

Groom your brows: 
They say your eyes are the window to your soul, so let your eyebrows be your window treatments!! No makeup look is complete without the final framing, and filling in of the eyebrows. Cleaning up stray hairs and filling in your brows creates a polished look.

Get a monthly facial:
Without proper cleaning and exfoliation, you are really just applying your products to layers of dead skin cells. These professional treatments help reduce wrinkles and scarring, plus they help to brighten, increase elasticity, clean pores and smooth skin.


Have a great holiday!

TIPS TO GET RID OF ACNE FOR SMOOTH SKIN


Drink an extra glass of water. "Water helps clear the toxins that cause inflammation and blemishes. It also assists in transporting nutrients and oxygen to skin cells, and preventing dehydration, which can cause premature aging." It can even make skin appear fuller since the hyaluronic acid that naturally exists in skin will pull in and hold the water for a wrinkle-plumping effect.


Strip off your makeup before going to bed. Leaving makeup and dirt on skin doesn't just clog pores; it can cause excessive dryness and even skin dandruff. Don't forget to thoroughly remove eye makeup too. It can lead to bumpy rashes around the eyes .

Don't neglect your neck and chest. Most of us are guilty of stopping our skincare routine as soon as we hit our chin. And our neglected neck and chest take vengeance by wrinkling, sagging, and displaying dark spots that beg to be hidden by a turtleneck. "The skin on these areas is thinner, and doesn't have a strong blood supply, so it doesn't heal well," explains Amiry. "Plus it's an area that we often forget to protect with sunscreen." Use the same products as you would on your face, but start lightly (every other day) when applying active ingredients like retinols or acids since they may cause some initial irritation.





SIMPLE ALL NATURAL BEAUTY TIPS


1. Simple Honey Face Mask
Raw honey is naturally anti-bacterial and a super quick way to get soft, beautiful skin. Once a week use a tablespoon or so of raw honey (not processed honey) and gently warm it by rubbing your fingertips together. Spread on your face. Leave on for 5 – 10 minutes and then use warm water to gently rinse it off and pat dry. Then bask in the glow of your honey-awesomeness. 


2. All Natural Black Head Removal
Place 4 or 5 drops of raw honey on an open lemon wedge. Then rub the lemon on your face for a minute, emphasizing any trouble areas. Leave the mixture on for 5 minutes and rinse with cold water. (Keep in mind that citrus can make your skin photosensitive so it’s best to do this before bed rather than before going outside).


3. Take Care

Remember, the best beauty secrets are not quick fixes. They require good sleep, stress management, proper nutrition, and physical exercise. Remember that real beauty is a result of taking care (or “thanking”) your body on a daily basis. And by being you. Because you are beautiful.

5 STEPS TO A FLAWLESS-IN-A-FLASH FACE



Start With A Concealer
that’s one shade lighter than your foundation. Apply our high-coverage BMPRO Concealer to the under eye area (and at the inner corners of your eyes) to smooth fine lines, cover dark circles and hide imperfections

Apply A Foundation
that’s perfectly matched to your skin tone. Use with the foundation blender brush for a smooth, even, flawless makeup application.

Now, Smile
While you’re doing it, apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. For the most natural effect, blend your blush downward and outward.


Brush A Lighter Shade 
of eye shadow over your entire eyelid. This opens ups and brightens the area. Grab your favorite eyeliner pencil and work it into your lash line. Complete with mascara.

Seal The Deal
with a kiss of color and shine on your lips. A lip gloss in a natural shade works best.

Last Tip. Primer
 Serum are a great secret weapon for a younger, smoother look. Primer seals in moisture and helps your foundation go on more easily.
