Any woman can become a stunning beauty if they stick to a healthy, wholesome beauty regime. There is no necessity to go for expensive cosmetic treatment or follow extreme and complicated beauty rituals. A few simple but healthy tips can help enhance your natural beauty and make you shine in a crowd. Such beauty never ceases to die down, as opposed to artificial attraction.
The following ten beauty secrets will undoubtedly help you to achieve beauty in your life and experience a whole new awareness about yourself.
1) Hair Care
Wash your hair and comb it into a healthy shine as often as possible. Always strive for healthy hair, using nourishing shampoos, conditioners and hair tonics. Oil your hair at least once a week and massage your scalp gently but firmly, after oiling. Use slightly heated virgin olive oil enriched with essential oils, to achieve extra shine and color.
2) Hair Style
Go for hairstyles that match the shape of your face and accentuate your best features. Opt for simple styles or just pull down your hair or blow dry it to add volume and change its consistency, as the occasion calls for. If you feel like a trendy hairstyle, go for a simple but elegant approach, using minimal hair styling products. If you want the wet look, gel your hair and add a bit of glitter to highlight your effort.
3) Skin Care
Healthy, smooth skin is an eye catching beauty secret. To achieve such perfect skin, simply follow a healthy beauty regime, especially at night. Use a regular body lotion based on your skin type. Opt for natural ingredients that replenish your skin from within, making it healthy and smooth. Make it a practice to apply a lotion before you go to sleep every night, emphasizing on your hands and feet. Use a bath lotion after a long dip in the bathtub, to help replace the lost essential oils that helps keep your skin wrinkle free. Treat dry skin with special creams enriched with Vitamin E and mineral oil supplements.
4) Sun Care
Sunrays are healthy in small doses at certain times of the day, typically in the mornings, where it emits Vitamin D, an element that helps absorb calcium and phosphorous to our body. But too much sun can cause skin problems such as wrinkles, burns and even cancers. So it is essential to protect yourself from the sun, particularly the UV rays, by wearing a regular sun screen. Always go for popular, known brands and moisture levels that suites your skin type.
5) Eyebrows
Color, shape and composition of eyebrows are also an important aspect and achieving the perfect eyebrows is a tricky task. Take extra care to pluck out unruly strands and mark out the shape you wish to achieve, before you start shaping them. Apply some powder before you start, as it reduces pain and makes the task easy. Make sure both eyebrows are symmetrical in shape after completion. Use a good, professional tweezer (the kind used in salons) to achieve better results.
Apply an eyebrow pencil just once over your eyebrows if they appear pale. But be careful not to over do it, as this may make your eyebrows look artificial.
6) Makeup
Makeup can change the appearance of a person dramatically. Apply makeup that suits your skin tones, face shape, structure and features. Use minimal or generous amounts according to the occasion. Take extra care in selecting foundation and blusher, matching it to your skin color. A shade lighter is always advisable for dark complexions and vise versa for pale skin. Pale skin can always do with extra blusher and eye shadow. Bright color lipsticks match light skin-tones, whereas darker shades go well for tan skin.
7) Nails
Well maintained nails are not just a beauty statement, but also highlight a neat, well groomed personality. Take care of chapped nails on a regular basis and reapply nail polish whenever they peel off. But make it a point to keep your nails bare once in a while and expose them to the fresh air, as your nails too need fresh air to keep them healthy. So take a break in between, preferably at night or on weekends.
8) Clothes
Choose your clothes according to the occasion and according to your figure. Try to select outfits that accentuate your best features and hide the unwanted/excessive fat. Choose colors that suit your skin, hair and personality. Pay extra emphasis to accessories for special events. Try different styles, like miss-matching clothes and jewelry to achieve a different ethnic effect or color, coordinating them perfectly to appear professional and smart.
9) Sleep
A minimum of 6 hours of continuous sleep is very important for your beauty, not just health. Your skin needs this rest as much as the rest of your body. Sleep helps refresh your body, mind and soul and it rejuvenates your skin. As the famous ‘beauty nap’ promises shiny, healthy skin, make it a point to have the required share of sleep at night too. Also keep in mind, it is also the best time to hydrate your skin, where moisturizing lotions work best, with no obstructions from sun, heat and stress.
10) Smile
Pearly white teeth are very attractive in a smile. So maintain your teeth, clean them regularly and visit your dentist often. And smile a lot without any fear. A smile that comes from the heart will accentuate all your best features and emphasize your beauty more than any other therapy in the world.
