TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN
Wash makeup off thoroughly
prior to going to bed. Use warm water
and a soft washcloth or a solution for
taking off makeup. After this, wash
the face normally. If you don’t remove
your make-up, it can clog your pores.
Sometimes our beauty is interrupted
by a skin blemish such as a pimple.
An effective home remedy for treating
a pimple is to place a small dab of
toothpaste on it. Don’t use the gel form -
only regular toothpaste will work. Let the
toothpaste dry for about 10 minutes. This
should make the pimple less prominent.
Avocado is great to eat, but did you know
you can use it as a body softener? Get
yourself a ripe avocado that has the skin
and pit taken out. Mash it up in a bowl.
Apply a coating of avocado on your body
for its healing properties and keep it on for
a half hour. Due to the avocado’s natural
moisturizing abilities, you will have smooth
and soft skin.

GET A MASSAGE
Massages are great
for your body and can make
you feel good too. Massage
stimulates circulation, lymph
drainage, toning and the
removal of the toxins in your
body. Take advantage of the
health benefits and get a
massage on a regular basis.
If you routinely get bags
underneath your eyes and dark
circles around them, then relief
can be had! Massage the skin
around your eyes with your facial
moisturizer. That will help you
with lymphatic drainage, and
you will look more energized.

AVOID FOREIGN SUBSTANCES
Don’t do drugs, smoke or drink too much. Foreign substances can
age the skin and make you look older. Just look at people who use these
substances very frequently. They will help motivate you to not use them. Try
to find other ways you can enjoy yourself. You will look much better if you do.
Having a good beauty routine doesn’t have to be an ordeal. They are involved in terms of
research and practicing techniques, but they are worth it in the end. These tips should
help you be more informed about making beauty decisions.
