Most women want a healthy glowing complexion. However, many women feel that they can only achieve these results with expensive spa applications, procedures, and creams. Fortunately, none of this is true. You can greatly improve your complexion by doing a few simple things on a daily and weekly basis.

Cleansing
A clean face is a happy face. We’ve won half the battle if we can adequately clean our faces. However, there are certain specific enemies when it comes to keeping your face clean and healthy. The practice of going to bed with your makeup on can really wreak havoc on your complexion, especially over time. Make it a habit to wash your face in the morning and before bed. You rid your face of all the dirt and oils from the day and you keep your pores free and clear. This is a simple step that you can do yourself without the help of mql machining.

Exfoliation
We don’t have the complexion we had as a baby. Our cell turnover slows down quite a bit as we age. This means that we must manually get rid of our dead skin cells because our cell turnover has become sluggish over time. Generally, exfoliation is something that we can do once a week with good results. Exfoliation will reveal fresh new skin that is often brighter and smoother than it was before.Without this essential step, our complexions can become dull and lackluster over time.

Moisture & Protection
Everyone’s complexion needs moisture. This is even true for oily skin. It’s simply a matter of selecting a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. We also need protection from the sun’s powerful rays. Photoaging is a real problem and can result in us appearing older than we are, as well as possible skin cancer. Be sure to moisturize and protect. If you can find a sunscreen and a moisturizer in one product, invest in it. You will certainly need it.

A beautiful complexion is within your reach. You can control how your skin looks by what you do. Take care of it. Keep it clean, moisturized, and protected. You will begin to see positive changes in no time. Exfoliation is a powerful step that you’ll want to complete at least once a week. It will help you shed dead skin cells and reveal a fresh and healthy complexion.

Homemaking in a Fabulous Way

mommy time

Staying at home to care for your little ones and be a full time housewife need not take its toll on your once stalwart and impeccable fashion sense. It need not take its toll on your not-too-frequent indulgence or your make you look older than your actual age. I know for sure that mountain of laundry and loads of other home chores can take the better of you. Keeping the home spic and span can be way too tiring and don’t even let me go to child-minding, which is actually a 24/7 job that eats most bulk of your time.

Fret not as you can still be as glamorous and fabulous like you used to. Get some me-time over the weekends and treat yourself to a relaxing manicure-pedicure treatment. Get a new haircut or don a sexy wig, if you want to be more adventurous. Go to a thrift shop to get some new dresses and blouses to update your wardrobe.

Who says you need to be ugly while staying at home. I bet the little ones will appreciate having a mommy diva keeping watch over them all the time.

Frugal ways to fake a facelift

Leave a reply

Many people long for that firm, smooth skin on their face that they had as a teenager. If only it were possible to go back in time and relive those days when we didn’t need an ounce of makeup on our face. Nowadays many people get face lifts to recapture the youthful look, but the process is quite invasive, expensive and potentially risky. Many times, a surgical facelift does not turn out the way people expect it to. Face lifts can end up looking artificial and cause permanent nerve damage, which seems like a lot of risk for a procedure that is likely to cost many thousands of dollars.

Fortunately, there are several alternatives, so why not try the next best thing? Faking a face lift is easy, inexpensive and far more natural, so you will have a great look with way less effort. Read on for tips on faking a face lift and recapturing youthful looking skin.

Eat right

Eating the right kinds of foods can add an instant glow to your face, making you look years younger. Incorporate a wide variety of colorful and organic fruits and veggies to your diet. You need these vitamins to maintain healthy skin and fight wrinkles. Drinking lots of water will ensure you stay hydrated and help give your skin a healthy glow. Pineapple juice, in particular, is great for facial skin. Try freezing pineapple juice in ice trays and popping them out the next day. Run the ice cube all over your skin for about five minutes and the enzymes in the juice will help tighten skin and give it a ‘face lifted’ look.

Makeup tricks

Some quick and easy makeup tricks can give you the appearance of a lifted, younger face. Try a good under-eye concealer to mask dark circles and use an eye brightener in the corner of your eye to add lightness. Apply powder to add contouring effects to your face and highlighting powder across the cheeks to add a youthful glow. One word of caution here, you do not want to overdo the makeup, as too much can age your face. Remember, it’s all about finding the right balance.

Supplements

Skin supplements add vitamins and nutrients that you might not get from your food, but which can help improve the look of your skin. Phytoceramides are one that’s especially well-known for helping achieve a youthful and firm look. If you decide to invest in supplements, take them exactly as directed in order to have the best effect.

Homemade facials

You can use easily found ingredients to create homemade natural facials for your skin. Mix together egg white and lemon juice then put as a mask on your face for at least 30 minutes. The vitamins will leave your skin absolutely glowing. Avocado also contains some great nutrients for your face, so add this into the egg white/lemon juice mix. Homemade facials are a great activity to enjoy with a bunch of girlfriends.
