Ultimate Beauty Tips




Exfoliate Your Skin
Exfoliate a minimum of three times per week.The exfoliation process removes dead layers of skin cells and gives your fresh,moist skin underneath a chance to breath, as well as letting moisturizer absorb better afterward. Your skin's oil glands cannot reach the outer, dead layers of skin so it's best to exfoliate and allow the oil to naturally hydrate the living skin cells.


Moisturise Everyday
Just like your body needs water daily to keep you health from the inside, your skin need to be hydrated from the outside too to keep it looking it's best. Moisturizers do a great job of softening the skin and reducing dead skin cells. Most moisturizers also contain SPF, which will protect you from the dangerous UV rays of the sun

                             



                 
Hair Care
Try not to wash your hair every single day. It's has a natural oils that you shouldn't get rid of, wash every second day is the best. Wash your hair gently, massage the roots and scrunch shampoo into the ends. You'll benefit from a tension relieving head massage and minimize frizz too.






Exercise
Exercising isn't just about having a strong cardiovascular system and a healthy weight, it can also be a part of your beuty benefits by rewarding you with a healthier skin and hair. Exercise reduces wrinkles, restores colour and glow to dull skin, decreases acne and revive weak and brittle hair.

How To Dress For Your Body Shape

Getting dressed is a whole lot easier when you know what pieces work best for your shape. Most woman fall into one of five categories: Apple shape (round), Pear shape (triangle/bottom heavy), Strawberry shape (inverted triangle/top heavy), Hourglass shape (curvy) and Rectangle (straight/boyish) women.



Apple body shape 
Empire line and longer length top will flatter your figure. Go for low-ish neckline to draw the eye upwards. Avoid short, boxy jacket and pleated or tiered skirts are not your friends.

Pear body shape
Work that womanly figure by adding more shape and structure above the waist. Balance out your curvy bottom half with bright tops or tops with large collars,lapels or sleeves. Avoid tube, pencil and mermaid skirts, especially tight fitting ones will only emphasise your hips and behind.

Strawberry body shape
There are a few simple ways to soften your shape. Fuller skirts and wide leg trousers will balance out your body shape beautifully. Don't afraid to wear bright colour on your bottom half. Choose fashion for a bigger bust like V-necks and wrap tops. Avoid shoulder pads and tapering trousers are an absolute no-no! Also steer clear of puff sleeves, epaulettes and halterneck.

Hourglass body shape
You are blessed with a very sexy shape so you need to learn not to drown it in too-baggy clothes but also not go too overtly sexy either.Wrap dresses,waist-cinching belts and flared or wide leg jeans will work wonder. Avoid baggy jumpers that will hide your wonderful waist

Rectangle body shape
Many women would kill for your shape, there's no main area you want to minimise so you can get away with more things than most. However you may crave more curves. A structured coat that cinches in with a belt will make you look more curvy. If you have a small bust you can get away with tricky to wear high necked tops. Avoid low rise jeans and trousers can make your torso look too long and stay away from sheath dresses and stick to styles with more shape instead.

DIY Aspirin Mask

Aspirin is brilliant at spot treating pimples, clearing up acne and itchy patches. How it works? Aspirin contain anti-inflammatory so it will immediately reduce redness ,it also contain salicylic acid which is one of the most commonly used ingredients in acne products as it cleans out pores and exfoliates the skin (which is ideal for sloughing away fine lines and wrinkles too.)

*if you have an aspirin allergy, do not attempt this mask!



You will need

1. 3 uncoated aspirin

2. Honey (optional)
3. Water
  • Take 3 uncoated aspirin and add about 3 drops of water onto each pill just enough to make a paste (make sure your aspirin is uncoated otherwise you may have a hard time getting it to dissolve when mixed with the water.)
  • Pour about a tablespoon of honey onto the aspirin,the honey is completely optional but will allow the aspirin paste to adhere to your skin more easier.
  • Apply all over face.Wait 10 minutes and then gently rub off in circular motions. The aspirin is grainy and works as a great exfoliate.
  • Apply your favourite moisturizer and your done! your skin will look so much brighter and feel amazingly smooth!
