Some believe beauty is something you have or you lack. However, this isn’t always true. What you’ll read here can help you be more beautiful. Being beautiful is more than just looking good physically, as being authentic as a person is critical too.

You should be sure to exfoliate. If your skin is dry or highly sensitive, you can exfoliate your face anywhere from one to three times per week; any less and you are missing out on an opportunity to reveal healthy skin cells underneath the top layer. Intense cleansing will prevent buildup and leave your face with a fresh and radiant glow.

If you are using makeup that shimmers, apply it both lightly and strategically. Putting it where the light will hit it creates a nice glow effect. Whenever you use highlighter, use it on the higher parts of your face, including your brows, nose, and cheekbones. After this, use a single layer of powder to set it.

Clear Polish

Do you end up chipping your nails after you have painted them? Using a top coat can keep your nails looking good for a week. Just be certain not to get this mixed up with standard clear polish, since they differ greatly. Buy the top coat and not just clear polish.

Milk is very beneficial for your body and skin so you should consume a cup daily. Studies have demonstrated that daily milk consumption benefits your body greatly, especially your bones and skin. Milk has lots of protein that can build muscle. It helps control weight, too. Milk is an affordable beauty solution.

Make space in your fridge for your cosmetics. In summertime, this can be extra helpful. If you keep your toners, oils and lotions in the fridge, you can put them on even if you are experiencing a heatwave. The cooling sensation is sure to leave your skin feeling refreshed and chilled.

Peppermint Oil

You can combine peppermint oil and purified water to make an alcohol free, all natural mouthwash. For each ounce of water used, add one droplet of oil. After boiling the water, add the drops of peppermint oil to a large glass container. Add the boiling water. Place a clean cloth or towel over the container while cooling the mouthwash. Pour the mixture into a bottle that you can close with a lid. There you have it, your own, ready to use, bottle of homemade mouthwash.

Honey needs to be on your beauty shopping list. It has many benefits when applied topically and eaten. Try adding a little honey to some sugar for a handy exfoliating solution. Adding honey to a lotion can also boost moisture. Adding honey to shampoo will actually create hair that is softer and shinier.

Good makeup brushes are needed when applying makeup. While they can be expensive, good brushes make a big difference in the way your makeup looks once it’s applied. If money is tight, watch for good deals on online auction websites. You can probably snag high-quality brushes for less money.

Wash your makeup utensils to reduce blemishes on your skin. Use a gentle soap and warm water to rinse until the water runs clear. Rinse the brushes completely, blot with a towel, and set on a clean surface to air dry. This will help to ensure that there is no heavy dirt and bacteria on the brush which can cause problems for your skin.

There’s no such thing as either being beautiful or not. Maybe you don’t think you’re as hot as you could be, but that article can make it easy for you to put your best foot forward. You need to think positively about yourself. Dwelling on your shortcomings won’t get you anywhere.
