Natural Looking Makeup for Summer July 28 2014
Makeup should enhance your features rather than cover them up. A natural looking foundation is very appealing, especially for Summer. Below are some tips on how to create a more natural glowing look so people will notice your beautiful skin instead of your makeup.
The key to creating a natural look with foundation is to match your skin tone. Nothing looks more unnatural than a foundation that doesn't blend with your skin! The best way to get the right shade of foundation is to sample it on your jaw line and leave it there for a few minutes. Look at it in different lights to make sure it blends well with your face and neck. If you are having trouble ask a professional to match it up for you. There are many shades to choose from and it's just a matter of finding your perfect match!
Once you have the right shade of foundation make sure to apply it sparingly so as not to give a masky appearance. For a smoother dewy look be sure to apply a light moisturizer first. If you have a thicker foundation you can even blend a little moisturizer before applying to soften the look.
For those of you who like an even more natural look, try a tinted moisturizer. Many on the market today contain sunscreen and give a light coverage that enhances the skin and evens out the skin tone.
And always remember that beautiful, healthy skin needs less makeup so stick to a good skin care regimen, drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet.
The Dreaded "Cottage Cheese" Thighs! June 19 2014
Did you know that 90% of all women will deal with cellulite? Cellulite occurs when the connective tissue pulls down on fat causing the fat to bulge under the skin. Diet and exercise play an important role in reducing the appearance of cellulite.
If you want to reduce cellulite you need to detox your body. Stay away from nicotine and caffeine, reduce your intake of salt and fat and drink plenty of water. Eat nutrient rich foods like berries and nuts and add plenty of glucosamine, B vitamins and essential fatty acids to your diet. Onions are also a great food to combat cellulite because they act as a natural diuretic releasing water buildup from skin cells.
Don't forget to exercise. The less fat and more muscle you have will make cellulite disappear. Muscle will stretch the skin and smooth out the dimpled appearance.
Increase circulation and break up the fat by doing daily massages to troubled areas using a cellulite reducing cream and using a body brush in the shower or bath to help increase circulation. Use aromatherapy oils in your bath to stimulate your system: Sage, cypress, and juniper essential oils added to your bath aid with cellulite reduction by stimulating your system.
