Why Men Should Get Manicures As Well
Beauty is mostly just a good way to describe taking care of yourself. If you are taking care of your body, your skin and your mind, you can't help but be a beautiful person, and project that to the world. This article gives you some practical ideas of how to do that.
You must exfoliate your face often. Even if you have very sensitive or dry skin, you can use gentle exfoliation up to three times weekly -- any less will not reveal the true benefits of the plump, healthy skin cells that lie underneath your top layer of skin cells. Do this and your face will look more glowing and dewy and will stop buildup of dirt and oil.
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.
If your eyeliner tends to smear and crease, try dabbing a bit of a similar colored powdered eyeshadow over the top of it with a soft cotton swab. This will help to keep the eyeliner in place and make your eye makeup last longer before it requires a touch up.
Sometimes skin blemishes, like pimples, can detract from our beauty at the most inopportune times. Use a dab of toothpaste to battle any blemish that appears on your skin. Then let it sit for about ten minutes. This should drastically reduce the appearance of the pimple.
If you don't like the look of your hair curled with a curling iron, try curling it with a straightener. Simply wrap your hair around the straightener and pull it through to the ends. This produces a much more natural looking curl, although it can take a little longer to do.
Mend haggard fingernails with a teabag. Empty the bag first. Then, cut a small piece from the teabag that will be big enough to fit on top of the nail. Last, place the cut material on the tear, and use clear nail polish to paint over it.
Use a brow gel to stimulate growth in sparse eye brows. Whether you have naturally sparse brows or got a little overzealous with the tweezers, a brow gel can help grow hair back. Look for one that has added protein. In the meantime, use fillers to shade the thin areas.
Do not forget your hands need to be pampered too. Hands are often overlooked in beauty treatments. That is why it is said, if you want to know someones age, check their hands. In addition to daily treatment with lotion or cream, you should exfoliate your hands once a week.
To make your eyelashes look thicker, dust them with a coat of loose powder before applying your mascara. Use a small brush to apply a thin layer of translucent powder to your eyelashes, taking care not to get the powder in your eyes. Follow up with a coat of your favorite mascara over the top of the powder.
Being beautiful is nothing more than being the kind of person who knows that they need to take care of themselves. As this article has pointed out, most beauty tips and secrets are really about pampering your body and your mind so that the inner beauty that you already have can shine through.
