Natural Beauty Tips
Not everyone wants a complete makeover as some
like to preserve a more natural appearance. Let's
face it, many men are attracted to the
low-maintenance, "girl-next-door" look and
accomplishing that can be just as challenging as
looking model-perfect.
So, how do you achieve a desirable look without
the heavy use of cosmetics and makeup? Our natural
beauty tips and advice will help you do just that,
and put you on the path to a beautiful, unaffected,
you.
Practice a Healthy Lifestyle
Natural beauty is akin to an overall healthy
appearance. Start with a better lifestyle. Your own
attitudes and daily life reflects in how you look to
others. Take care of your body and it will take care
of you.
Eat a proper, well-balanced diet. Food that's
good for your body helps your internal organs
function properly and shows on the outside as well.
The trick is to read the labels carefully and eat
healthy foods with minimal preservatives. Good
nutrition is key to your outward appearance and
longevity.
The best skin in the world will not overcome a
flabby body. Get in good physical shape if you've
been slacking off. Set some reasonable fitness goals
to get your body fit and trim. Begin with short-term
goals and set new ones once they're achieved.
Skin Care Tips
Water plays a crucial role. For radiant skin,
stay hydrated to keep your skin soft and supple.
Seal in water externally after a shower by applying
lotion to damp skin.
Look for all-natural, organic and herbal recipes
for basic skin problems. Whether it's dry skin or
blemishes, you can target the areas that need it
most, foregoing chemicals that can be irritating to
your skin.
As you age, you'll hit some bumps along the way.
Care for your skin as you do your most prized
possession and you'll see the benefits quickly, as
well as years from now.
Don't want leathery skin? Lessen the appearance
of fine lines and wrinkles by reducing exposure to
the sun's dangerous rays. When enjoying outdoor
activities, apply a sunscreen with SPF of at least
15 and re-applying when necessary.
Wearing Makeup, Naturally
If you wish to wear makeup, utilize only the best
cosmetics brushes and beauty tools to enhance your
finest features and cover flaws. This allows you to
apply only the amount that is needed while blending
in any excess color.
Apply a tinted moisturizer or sheer foundation
with a damp sponge. Either one will allow your
natural skin tone to show through while covering
minor imperfections.
Crème or liquid blush blends more naturally than
powder. Apply to the apple of your cheeks, outwards,
into your hairline to prevent makeup lines.
Don't want to overdo your eyes? You can now
enhance your own eyelashes without adding clumps or
colors. New, clear mascara is available to separate
your lashes and give them luster and shine.
Reduce Stress
Stress is an unfortunate fact in today's
fast-paced lifestyle and often reflects in your skin
and eyes. Make it routine to relax and pamper
yourself, daily if possible. This will give you time
to slow down and plan the following day.
Become aware of the facial expressions you often
make when stressed-out. If you raise your eyebrows
often, you could very well end up with permanent
wrinkles on your forehead. If you squint because you
don't understand something, lines between your brows
may become evident.
Don't expect to live without facial expressions,
they're part of you. What you can do is be aware of
those expressions you make when nobody is looking.
Replace those with something else, such as fidgeting
and ease up on your face.
