GOLDEN BEAUTY TIPS

TOP 10 BEAUTY TIPS

Tip 1

• A few drops of nail polish remover in a bottle of old, congealing polish returns it to its proper consistency.

Tip 2

• Spray a light mist of water over your freshly made-up face to get extra hours out of your makeup application.

Tip 3

• Make your eyes sparkle during a long day at work by using a few eye drops. Keep eye gel in the fridge for a cold nighttime eye restoration that helps relieve puffy, tired eyes. Using these homemade items also can relieve tired eyes: cotton pads soaked in water, cucumber slices or wet tea bags. Keep them in the freezer for an instant eye pick-me-up.

Tip 4

• To get the most out of fake tan products, exfoliate the skin over your entire body first. Also, wax or shave areas where you will apply the tanning product at least 24 hours prior to application. Apply a light layer of moisturizer to your skin right before using a fake tan product. These steps let the tanning product set smoother and last longer. Use a very gentle skin exfoliator daily to help the fake tan fade evenly and naturally.

Tip 5

• Get regular facial massages to improve the circulation in your face, remove toxins from your skin and to make you feel great.

Tip 6

• Use the old-fashioned steam tip of leaning over a bowl of boiling hot water with a towel over your head to release the pores and sweat out toxins at night after washing off old makeup. Immediately splash cold water on your face afterwards to close the pores and tighten your skin. Apply a good layer of moisturizer on top to prepare the skin for the next day. Apply a coat of Vaseline to eyebrows and lashes before bed, too, for an extra shine.

Tip 7

• Remove the old skin from your lips for a sparkling smile by brushing them daily with an old toothbrush and applying a thin coat of Vaseline. Between applying each layer of lipstick, blot the lips with a tissue for a longer-lasting shine.

Tip 8

• Rinse your hair once a week in apple cider vinegar to help get rid of toxic buildup that is released through the pours of your scalp. An apple cider rinse also helps cut down on shampoo residue that can build up on your hair shafts.

Tip 9

• Replenish your skin by drinking at least eight full cups of water per day. Drinking water revitalizes dry skin and helps get rid of built-up toxins from your pores.

Tip 10

• Use a soft bristle brush to get the blood flowing and oil glands open and receptive to cleansing. Stroke upwards in small circular motions from the feet up. Don't forget to moisturize after the shower to replenish your skin.
