Steps
Part 1 of 4: Have Glowing Skin, Nails and Hair
Step 1. Wash your face with a mild cleanser twice a day
Wet your face with warm water, then apply a dime-sized amount of cleanser by massaging it into your skin with your fingertips. Apply it on cheeks, chin, nose, forehead and eyelids. Experts advise against rubbing the leather with a microfiber cloth. Remove the cleanser with lukewarm water and pat dry your face gently with a clean towel.
Wash your face before going to bed do not go to sleep without having your makeup removed
Step 2. Use a body brush or natural sponge to make the skin smoother
Having brighter skin is simple, just exfoliate and cleanse it deeply. You can use a body brush or natural sponge and clean your skin in the shower. Move the accessory towards the heart to improve blood circulation.
Another option for deep cleansing of the skin is to do a scrub. In addition to impurities, you will be able to eliminate dead cells and as a result you will have younger and smoother skin
Step 3. Layer the foundation for a natural effect
Use it to make the complexion more even. Choose a foundation in the same tone as your skin and apply it with a sponge, for example with the Beauty Blender. Apply it in thin layers, spread it well all over your face and let it dry for 5 minutes before adding the next layer. Applying it in this way you will be sure of obtaining the desired degree of coverage.
For example, a couple of applications should suffice for light coverage. If you want more coverage, you will need 3-4 layers
Step 4. Reduce your consumption of refined sugars and carbohydrates to improve the appearance of the skin
Eating a lot of sugars can have a negative impact on your skin, for example it can cause acne, so try to limit your consumption of refined candy and carbohydrates, such as white bread, pasta or rice. Meet your daily carbohydrate needs by eating whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
Suggestion: You can instantly make your skin glow naturally by exercising at a brisk pace for about a minute. Try running in place, jumping rope, or jumping jacks.
Step 5. Use dry shampoo when you don't have time to wash your hair
If you are in a hurry or if you are trying to reduce the frequency of washing, spray the dry shampoo on the roots and then massage them with your fingers. Brush your hair to evenly distribute the dry shampoo, in a few moments you will have a cleaner and more voluminous hair.
If you have little time to get ready in the morning, try applying dry shampoo before bed. The product will be able to absorb the oils that weigh down the hair and in the morning it will seem freshly washed
Step 6. Polish your nails naturally
You don't need an expensive manicure to give your nails a healthier and brighter look, just buy a file designed to smooth and polish them. Rub it back and forth on the nail surface for about 15 seconds.
For extra shine, apply a layer of clear polish after polishing your nails
Suggestion: keep a tube of hand cream in your bag and apply it several times a day for soft and smooth skin. Your nails will also benefit.
Part 2 of 4: DIY Beauty Treatments
Step 1. Exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush to make them softer and smoother
After brushing your teeth, brush your lips as well. Don't use toothpaste, just brush your lips with water. This simple procedure eliminates dead cells and promotes blood circulation for softer and more plump lips.
Alternatively, you can buy a lip scrub at a perfumery or make it easily at home by mixing sugar and olive oil in equal parts. Rub the exfoliant on your lips to remove dead skin cells and improve blood circulation
Step 2. Dip your face in ice water to reduce swelling
Wash your face as you normally do, then fill a large bowl with ice cubes and a sliced cucumber. Cover the ice with water, take a deep breath and keep your face submerged for up to 20 seconds. Remove your face from the water, take a deep breath to fill your lungs with oxygen, and pat your skin dry by gently blotting it with a clean towel.
Follow up with your daily skincare routine after drying your face
Suggestion: Another option is to wipe an ice cube on your face. Focus on the areas where the skin is swollen, but don't dwell on the same spot for more than 10-15 seconds to avoid damaging it.
Step 3. Rub the inside of a banana peel on your face to reduce fine lines
Eat the fruit however you like and use the peel as a beauty treatment. Pass the inner part over the face, focusing especially on the areas affected by fine wrinkles and expression lines. Leave the substances contained in the peel to act on the skin for 5-10 minutes, then rinse your face with warm water and pat it dry gently with a clean towel.
Another option is to mash a banana and apply it to your face like a beauty mask. Leave it on for about 10 minutes to deeply hydrate the skin; then rinse and dry your face by dabbing it with a clean towel
Step 4. Use apple cider vinegar after shampooing to brighten your hair
Use the shampoo and conditioner as usual, then do a final rinse with 250 ml of apple cider vinegar diluted in cold water. Apple cider vinegar promotes the closure of the cuticles, so the hair appears brighter.
If you don't have apple cider vinegar, rinse your hair from the conditioner with cold water to make it brighter anyway
Step 5. Prepare a beauty mask to pamper your facial skin
Check your pantry and refrigerate the ingredients to make a DIY beauty mask. Wash your face, apply the mask to dry skin, leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off with water. At the end of the treatment, moisturize the skin as usual.
- For a mask that makes the skin smooth and hydrated, use half a ripe avocado, 120 g of plain yogurt and 1 tablespoon (15 g) of honey.
- To minimize large pores, use one egg white, one teaspoon (5 ml) of lemon juice and half a teaspoon of turmeric powder.
- To soothe irritation and reduce redness, use 2 tablespoons (30g) of honey, one teaspoon (5g) of cinnamon and one teaspoon (5ml) of lemon juice.
Part 3 of 4: Have an Attractive and Bright Look
Step 1. Apply the "V" shaped concealer under the eyes to hide dark circles
Use a concealer that is 2 or 3 tones lighter than your complexion and apply it with your fingertips or a sponge drawing an inverted triangle under the eyes. Extend the triangles to the center of the cheeks and carefully blend the concealer.
Applying the concealer in this way will also give light to the cheeks as well as the area under the eyes
Step 2. Curl your lashes to open your eyes
Open the curler and gently close it around your lashes to curl them back. The rubber part will prevent them from getting damaged. Be careful not to pinch the skin of the eyelids.
The eyelash curler is an indispensable element of the beauty case, you can buy it online or in perfumery
Step 3. Shape the eyebrows to frame the eyes
You can use an eyebrow pencil to define what their natural shape is. Hold it vertically so that one end is positioned next to one nostril and the other where the eyebrows begin, then tilt the pencil first 30 degrees to define the highest point of the brow arch and then another 30 degrees to determine where the eyebrows should end. Use tweezers or wax to remove unwanted hair and give your brows the shape you want.
If it seems too difficult a task, entrust yourself to the expert hands of a beautician
Suggestion: If you have sparse brows, you can make them appear thicker by using an eyebrow pencil. This way you will direct attention to the look and further enhance your natural beauty.
Step 4. Apply a thin line of black eyeliner to emphasize the look
If the line is too thick it can distract attention from the eyes, while a hairline can emphasize your natural beauty. Draw a thin line along the upper lid, very close to the lashes.
Try to make an upturned tail at the outermost point of the eye with eyeliner. It is a simple, but very effective way to enhance and highlight the look
Step 5. Add a pinch of highlighter to the inner corner of the eye to brighten the look
You can use a light colored eyeshadow with a luminous finish to draw attention to the eyes. Apply it to the inner corner of the eye at the beginning of the eyelid using an eyeshadow brush or fingertips.
Use a shade lighter than your skin tone. Silver or champagne shades can work well on a fair complexion. Instead on a dark complexion, it is better to use a copper or golden eyeshadow
Step 6. Use the false eyelashes for a magnetic look
False lashes make eyes instantly appear larger by placing them in the center of attention. Choose the ones you prefer and cut them according to the length of your eyelid. Attach them to natural lashes using a specific false eyelash glue.
At the end of the day, remove the false eyelashes. Dissolve the glue using an eye makeup remover and then gently pull the false lashes to detach them. Use a gentle cleanser to remove glue and makeup residue from the eyelids
Part 4 of 4: Making Lips Look Bigger and Fuller
Step 1. Apply the pencil just beyond the edge of the lips to make them appear larger
Instead of following the natural contour of the lips, try to trace the line just beyond the edge to make them appear larger. Draw the line about a millimeter beyond the natural contour of the lips as if to frame them, then apply a lipstick of the same color as the pencil.
Be careful not to go too far beyond the edge of the lips otherwise the result would be unnatural
Step 2. Apply lip gloss or volumizing lipstick to instantly plump lips
Go to the perfumery and ask for a lip gloss or a lipstick with a volumizing action. This category of products contains slightly irritating substances that make the lips swell, giving them a fuller and fuller appearance. If you don't have time to use the pencil, a stroke of lip gloss or volumizing lipstick is enough to have bigger lips.
Suggestion: take into account the tone of your complexion to choose a lipstick or a lip gloss that can enhance your natural beauty.
Step 3. Combine 2 nude lipsticks to make your lips look bigger
Choose two different nude lipsticks whose tones are in harmony with your complexion. Apply the darker one on both lips, then apply the lighter one in the middle part only.
