Beauty Tips
Hair: Want a crisper look? Trim off those dead ends.

Conceal blemishes and fine age lines by dabbing on a bit of skin colored concealer.

Put your makeup on in soft light. This helps you see your face in a natural setting and will help you use makeup sparingly.

Keep your nail polish in the refrigerator. It helps keep it from thickening.

When thinking about beauty, think about the senses (sight, smell, touch, etc.). How do we want to be beautiful? It's not all about vision. It's also about smell (perfume, scented lotions), touch (silky hair, smooth skin), and more.

Get enough sleep. With our busy lives, we often rob ourselves of needed sleep. Lack of sleep also affects our beauty. It can causes droopy skin, bloodshot eyes, and an overall tired look.

Did you know that your attitude and disposition affect your beauty?. Statistics have shown that we find happy people more beautiful. Read positive, inspirational books. Make sure you have sources of wisdom in your life. This keeps you happy, content, and smiling. This makes you beautiful!

Get enough exercise. Exercise ensures proper blood flow and which in turn helps keep wrinkles at bay.

Fingernails Tip: Long decorated nails are nice but be careful not to overdue it. Some girls go for the extra long, super artistic look. This can sometimes actually end up looking more tacky than beautiful.

Spend the time to learn proven makeup tips. It's been said that properly applied makeup is like the proverbial icing on an otherwise bland cake.

Practice good oral hygiene. Clean your teeth after every meal. Use whiteners to keep your teeth looking fresh. And use mouthwash, mints, or sweet-smelling gum to make a bursting impression.

Remember "Madge the Manicurist" in the old dishwashing liquid commercials? She may have been on to something. Soaking your fingernails in Dawn dishwashing liquid not only softens the cuticles (making them easier to push back), but also makes the nail polish stick more firmly and last longer (wash your hands, of course, before applying polish).

If you have access to a dry sauna, use it!! They have therapeutic benefits such as:
-improving blood circulation
-cleaning and rejuvinating the skin
-easing muscle tension
-promoting feelings of relaxation and well-being
-enhancing detoxification processes

Make sure you take a bottle of water to drink while in the sauna to keep hydrated too!!

If you have dark eye circles, simply place either apply slices of a raw potato or cucumber slices over your eyelids for 15 minutes.

If you have bags under your eyes or your eyes are puffy, get some tea bags!! You can use either black tea or green tea bags for this. Boil water and place 2 tea bags in it, like your making tea to drink. After you brew the teac nags for 5 minutes, take them out and ring out the liquid. Place both tea bags in the freezer to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Lay down, place the tea bags over your eyes for 10-15 minutes (turning the tea bags over half way through), and relax. After you finish, throw the tea bags away and rinse your face with cool water to remove any tea stains. Make sure you also remove any residue with a cold damp washcloth.

Going to the beach or pool? The sun can damage you hair just as much as your skin. Spray in some leave-in conditioner with sunscreen and comb your hair to avoid a tangled mess.
