Random Beauty Tips

1.  Beauty Foods Tip:
            * Eat wheat germ every day to get rid of blemish breakouts. Adding wheat germ to your cereal, yogurt, or cottage cheese can make it tastier.
            * Carrots can help protect the outer layer of your skin and prevent premature aging.
            * Swiss, cheddar or gouda cheese can block bacteria in your mouth and prevent cavities.
            * Eat plenty of tomatoes, which are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium; all are great ingredients for beautiful skin.
2.  Nail Care Tips:
            * Drink enough water each day to keep your body hydrated and to maintain healthy and strong nails.
            * For healthy nails, eat a diet of 50% fruits and raw vegetables, and drink plenty of water each day.
            * Fresh carrot juice is high in calcium and phosphorus. It is great for strengthening your nails!
            * Keep your nails nice and trimmed. Nails longer than 3 centimeters (about 1 inch) are more likely to carry bacteria and fungus.
3.  Lip Tips:
            * Always apply your lip liner before applying lipstick, and never use a lip liner that is darker than your lipstick.
            * Always apply lip gloss with a lip brush, then smooth it out with your fingertips.
            *  It's best to smooth your lips with a waxy lip balm and use your fingertips to massage the balm into your lips.
            * To keep your lipstick on all day, pencil your lips with a soft lip pencil, then apply your lipstick.
4.  Eyebrow Tips:
           * Eyebrows should be about two shades lighter than your hair color. The opposite is true if your hair is blond or gray.
           *  Pluck just enough eyebrows each time, and never over do it. You don't want to lose all                      your eyebrows!
           * Plucking your eyebrows in the direction of the hair growth will be less painful and will leave a more natural look when you're done.
           * Use a pencil and powder in the correct shade to fill in your eyebrows (light skin: blonde shade; olive skin: brown shade; darker skin: gray shade).
5. Eye Makeup Tips:
           * If you have brown eyes, use copper, bronze or brown eye shadow.
           * Wash off your mascara every night before bedtime.
           * A thin line of eyeliner in black or brown can greatly define your eyes and make them appear brighter.
           * You can use a hair dryer to heat your eyelash curler. The warmth of the eyelash curler will help curl your lashes more efficiently.
6. Hair Care Tips:
           * Drink 8 glasses of water each day. Water helps keep your hair silky and shiny.
           * Massaging your scalp can improve circulation to your head and promote hair growth.
           * Stress can cause hair loss, so find ways to relax and rejuvenate yourself to keep your precious hair!
           * For shiny and healthy hair, mash up an avocado, mix it with a tablespoon of olive oil and rub it through your hair. Wash your hair after 15 minutes.
7. Eye Care Tips:
           * You can use cool cucumber slices to reduce eye puffiness and dark circles.
           * A slice of raw potato can be placed under your eyes to reduce dark circles.
           * Placing a cold black tea bag on each eye for approximately 10 minutes can help reduce eye puffiness.
           * To reduce eye swelling, use a metal spoon, hold it under cold running water for a couple minutes, then gently press it onto the skin around your eye.
8. Skin Care Tips:
           * Use a combination of Epsom salt, sea salt and baking soda in your bath to help pull out toxins from your skin.
           * If you want firmer, smoother and younger looking skin, you need to exercise everyday. Exercise brings oxygen and nutrients to your skin.
           * Prevent age spots by avoiding sun exposure and use sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher.
           * Strengthen your skin by choosing skin moisturizers that contain vitamin A and Vitamin E.
