5 Beauty Tips that every Woman should know
Standing up straight with a lot of confidence and believing in yourself are important aspects for you to feel good about yourself. After all, when you radiate security, you radiate beauty. However, every woman who stands in front of a mirror can tell that beauty secrets count too. Take note.
To be beautiful you do not need the most expensive, nor the most complicated, nor the most painful. Experts argue that most of us should only pay attention to a few basic beauty secrets that can help you look and feel good without spending a lot of time or money.
Tip # 1: Never underestimate the power of moisturizers
It doesn't matter if your skin is dry, normal, or oily. You do not have to invest in many creams, with a single product that is good you can have dream skin. (If this month you didn't have enough for that moisturizer, look for our article this week on 'natural masks' ... honey and oats are very hydrating)
"Sometimes all you need is a good moisturizer and a mild cleanser to take years off your face," says Rhoda Narins, MD, professor at New York University and president of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. 'When the skin is dry, every wrinkle is accentuated, making you look older.'
If your skin is normal to dry, look for moisturizers that contain alpha hydroxy acids. They help the skin produce more moisture on its own, says Crutchfield, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine.
If the skin is very dry, products that use a technology called vesicular emulsion are suggested. "This technology uses microscopic spheres that make up layers that alternate moisture and water, obtaining continuous hydration," says Crutchfield. If your skin is oily, look for a light and soft moisturizer. "Oily is not moisture, even if you have excess of fat you still need to moisturize.
Tip # 2: Sunscreen is the best anti-aging product.
People who get a lot of sun exposure wrinkle long before their time.
Without the protection of the sunscreen, if you expose your skin (even for just a couple of minutes) to the sun every day (and not necessarily on a sunny day, as UV rays pass through those gray clouds), in no time you will see changes remarkable on the skin, maintains the American Academy of Dermatology.
"Not only will more wrinkles and lines appear, but also spots and veins." The skin becomes rough and saggy, all thanks to the sun. Crutchfield advises choosing a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Apply every hour or two, and use regular sunscreen before putting on makeup.
Tip # 3: Choose your cleanser wisely.
If what you use daily to clean your face is soap and water, you can reconsider your cleaning strategy. Dermatologists say that one of the best beauty tips is to use a mild cleanser and use it sparingly.
Washing your face too often - more than twice a day - can damage the natural lipid barrier, which is the protective mantle that keeps your skin lubricated so it looks and feels healthy.
Tip # 4: Use the Right Tools for the Right Job
You can have Dior brand eyeshadows, Chanel foundation, Clarins bronzer and Yves Saint Laurent eyeliner. However, if you don't have the proper application tools, the benefits of these products will be lost.
Brushes and brushes should be soft, but also have substances so that the products can be distributed along the surface of your skin. If you dip a brush in shadow or blush and the color falls off before reaching your face, this is a bad brush, experts say. If you are going to invest in good products, choose good makeup tools. You only have to do it once.
Tip # 5: Hair and makeup treatment every 2 years
If you arrive at your alumni meeting and your friends tell you that you look like a photo, run, run, run to the nearest beauty salon. "Ideally, your image, including hair and makeup, should be renewed at least every two years," says Beverly Hills expert Nick Chávez. Keep a modern look, says Chávez, because you will look younger. If it has been a long time since you have had a change, take advantage and go to your hairdresser and beauty store and do not be afraid to ask for help. This month do not buy those boots that you love so much, invest in yourself. Remember, it is once every two years.
