It is easy to unintentionally spend a lot of money on beauty products that you hope will help you look and feel great. Let’s face it there is always a latest and greatest out there weather it’s makeup or skin care there will always be new products that promise us magic and lure us into opening our wallets. This article gives you a variety of techniques that are quick and easy to do and will cost you a fraction of what the expensive products retail for.
1. Use raw egg yolks as the perfect mask to tighten, cleanse and firm the skin. Just apply, let dry and then remove with warm water.
2. Boil some water and then steam your face over the pot with a towel around your head. This is a great way to open up pores, which leaves the skin radiant, fresh and lovely.
3. Spend a day just pampering yourself at least 3 times per month, more often if possible. Take a hot bath, get yourself a spa gift basket and just lavish yourself in luxury.
4. Get enough rest each day. Fatigue and lack of sleep instantly transfers into tired dull and old looking skin. Getting the proper sleep nightly can replace many of the expensive aging creams that women spend so much money on.
5. Moisturize daily. It’s more important to spend money on a quality night and day cream than any other makeup or beauty product. Well moisturized skin looks great and deters wrinkles, fights free radicals and damaging environmental elements.
6. Make sure to put on a daily cream that has SPF sun block to protect the skin from the sun’s rays. Not only is this important for skin health as far as skin cancer goes, it also goes a long way to protecting the skin from sun damage and consequent skin problems.
7. Avoid greasy foods that will cause acne breakouts.
8. Wear as little makeup as possible and only wear makeup when absolutely necessary. Most makeup clogs pores and damages skin over time. To keep the skin looking young avoid makeup whenever possible.
9. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide mixed together into a thick paste whitens teeth. Use this before toothpaste three to five times per week. This could save a lot of money over those teeth whitening products.
10. Baby wipes work great for removing makeup.
11. Cucumber slices reduce eye puffiness. Just place over slices over the eyes for a few minutes each morning. Frozen spoons do the same.
12. Using high quality makeup products is much better for your skin and appearance than the cheap drug store brands. Makeup like MAC and Sephora are good choices but cost a lot at department stores, so shop online where you can find tons of great deals on all the top makeup brands.
13. Anti aging is best when done as a preventative measure and not as a corrective one. Take good care of your skin early on, cleanse and moisturize daily.
