Beautiful Skin All Summer Part One

Beautiful Skin All Summer Part One

Skin that is smooth and supple does not need to allude you just because the temperature is rising outside. Of course, it is a worry because exposure to such heat can lead to dry skin on various parts of the body. Many women notice dryness occurring with their hands, elbows and face. However, at times dry spots can begin popping up elsewhere when you are exposed to excess heat. Therefore, how can you maintain beautiful skin while having fun in the sun?

When it is not necessary to be out in the sun stay out of the heat. Moreover, when you are out having a good time wear loose fitting clothing in order to avoid becoming overheated. Above all, make sure that you are staying well hydrated at all cost! The body is mainly made up of water so keep it running properly as well as the biggest organ on your body (skin) healthy by gulping some quality H2O. Be sure to consume at least eight glasses of water to keep your skin lithe, soft and lustrous.

Everyday Beauty: Tightlining

I have always tighlined my eyes since I started wearing makeup and is a technique I will continue to do.What is tightlining? It’s a way of applying your eye liner right in between your lashes. This is a great way of adding a little bit of definition to your eyes, and making the base of your lashes appear thicker. It really works and looks so natural as if you were just born with smoldering eyes.

Get Clear Radiant Skin All Over Naturally

“Wow I absolutely love the bumpy pimple look!” Said literally no woman ever…acne can seem to spring up over night and without warning. Oh and if it was only a problem that could be found on our faces. Blemishes can reveal themselves also in the neck, chest and back regions to name a few. Therefore, is there anything that can be done to control acne naturally?

You could hit the beauty aisle but the products and skin medications you find there may  contain chemicals that have the ability to diminish pimples, but many women find them to be excessively drying. Or such products could be too strong for sensitive skin causing irritation. Simply replace those options with a little known natural ingredient…witch hazel. All you have to do is rub witch hazel on your back, face, chest or neck to help prevent acne.
