Natural Beauty: Drink Coconut Water for Beautiful Skin

Healthy skin is always the result of proper hydration. Nevertheless, most girls simply do not take in enough fluids. Therefore, break the cycle and give your skin the moisture it needs by consuming a nice size glass of unsweetened coconut water every single morning.

Coconut water is such a great tool in our natural beauty arsenal because of its numerous benefits. For one, it is chalk full of nutrients such as: potassium, Vitamin C, magnesium as well calcium. Moreover, coconut water also has anti-aging properties. Coconut water contains an anti-microbial known as lauric acid. This acid is capable of protecting skin against infection and helping to bring inflammation under control.

Lastly, coconut water is super low calorie option. One cup will only cost you about 44 calories. Plus, by drinking it you will not only help your skin, but will make your hair stronger too! More on that in an upcoming Hair Quickie.

Nevertheless, there are other things you can consume other than coconut water to hydrate your skin. At mealtime enjoy some olives, salmon, avocado and of course, coconut. These are all skin hydrating foods that will help make your skin healthier and more luminous.

Simply Beautiful Skin: Why Consume Almonds For Breakfast

Arianne Suggs May 24, 2017May 24, 2017Leave a Comment

Beauty Quickie: Does your skin need to send up a prayer on Sundays because it is in need of some saving? Well after this quickie tip it may utter a jubilant, “Amen!” Most girls want simply beautiful skin but don’t know how to go about it in a more “natural” fashion. Thinking natural is important because so many skincare products use very unnecessary ingredients or just do not do as advertised.

Simply Beautiful Skin: Why Consume Almonds For Breakfast

Therefore, it’s time not to think so much on using only products, but concentrating on fixing skincare issues by working from the inside out. Every heard someone say, “You are what you eat?” It is a very true statement. Whatever, you eat will manifest itself in your physical appearance and this is true especially with skincare.

We were having a beauty chat with a few of our dermatologist buddies and they recommended eating almonds at breakfast time. Why? Almonds possess essential fatty acids that have the ability to combat skincare woes such as: blotchiness, sagginess, inflammation and fine lines. Therefore, starting off your day with a few nuts is an excellent method for giving your skin a nice helpful dose of skin protection.

Nevertheless, what if you are just not a fan of nuts or perhaps are allergic to them? A few other great food options are tuna, salmon and halibut. These do not necessarily have to be consumed at breakfast. However, including them in your lunch or dinner will certainly help you reap the many benefits.

Women Shaving Their Face – The Beauty Trend That Works!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 21, 2017March 21, 2017Leave a Comment

There is a growing trend of women shaving their face and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with hair removal. For years, we have seen men shave on a daily basis and as girls we probably never thought about doing it ourselves. However, now you may want to give this easy beauty technique a go. Face shaving has many benefits that will simply amaze you!

Women Shaving Their Face – The Beauty Trend That Works

Before we get into how to do it, let’s first talk about why you should. First of all, face shaving has the ability to improve your complexion. Say what?! This is because it can help to prevent clogged pores.

When it comes to skincare prevention is everything. If pores are kept from clogging up then you can skip developing unsightly acne (yay). Shaving is now looked as being a natural exfoliant. Therefore, like a facial scrub it can make your skin softer and keep breakouts at bay without any harmful or harsh ingredients. Can we get an amen?

Moreover, another benefit is the great base shaving can achieve when it comes to makeup application. Since your skin will be smoother from all the razoring, your foundation in turn will go on effortlessly. As you can see, with so many perks it is no wonder women shaving their face regularly is picking up speed!

Women Shaving Their Face – The Tool

If you want to add shaving to your beauty regimen you will need the right tool. Now before you make the mistake of running out to buy a whole bag of regular disposable Bic razors, just don’t. You will honestly be wasting your money.

The razors you use to shave your legs are not the ones you will be using on your face. Instead you will need to purchase a facial razor. Facial razors look more like flattened toothbrushes with small razors at the head instead of bristles. Trust us you will know them when you see them.

Women Shaving Their Face

Now that you know why and what to use, it is time to find out what’s the process. Ready to get started? Great! Here’s how to shave your face properly:

Wash your face with your favorite cleanser and then let your face dry completely.
Next, dab toner all over your face. Like after cleansing for best results allow your face to dry all the way after your application of toner.
Now the time has come ladies to shave! Take your facial razor and gently begin shaving your entire face. Be sure to shave the forehead, cheeks, sides and chin. When shaving use short, small strokes. Also, be sure to avoid shaving zits or moles. Simply work around such areas and continue shaving like normal.
Lastly, apply a face serum to your face and you are all finished.

Pretty simple right? In just a few steps you can be on your way to better looking skin. All with the help of a little blade.
