Best Beauty Tips and Secrets

By Monika J. Williams

"The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come." - Joseph Campbell.
What you can do to your skin, to look the best as ever? Well, skin is the largest and one of the most important organs of our body. Unfortunately, there are many who don't pay much attention to their skin.
Spending a lot of money on your skin is not what your skin needs. But make sure your dish contains all the nutrients for a healthy skin. Your diet means a lot to your skin because you really look like what you eat.
Being a delicate organ skin needs to be treated very lightly, avoid being harsh to it. A stressful life can take away the glow from your skin. So leading a peaceful life along with eating healthy food can help you get back your radiant looking skin. Also don't forget to get plenty of sleep to get a healthier and energetic skin. You can simply spend lot of money on creams and beauty products but they won't be worth it if you don't take care of your body as a whole. Remember your ultimate aim is to get a healthy and radiant looking skin at the same time.

So, just follow these tips to help you get started..

• Always Stay Hydrated

Make sure you have plenty of water, at least 8 glasses of water every day. It is an excellent beauty product gifted by nature. Water being a beauty regime, apart from drinking; wash your skin regularly with clear and soft water. If possible use a hydrating face mask once a week.

• What you should avoid?

When you breathe fresh air you can have a healthier skin, so avoid smoking. The harmful chemicals inhaled will affect our body's ability to reproduce new cell. Also avoid a high calorie intake as it directly and indirectly affects the glow of your skin.

• Home remedies.

It is always better to follow any natural home beauty tips. For example, you can remove the puffiness of your eyes by making eye pads with coffee powder or slices of cucumber than opting for some unwanted chemicals.

• Sunscreens

Make sure you go out with any good sunscreens on your face if there is a possibility of exposure to sun. The harmful rays from sun can cause wrinkles, burns and damages to your skin. There are some common sunscreen mistakes that you should avoid while applying sunscreens. Just do a small research on that.
So stay healthy and be gorgeous as ever.

All Natural Beauty Tips

By Louise Player



These are my top three tips to help you save money on expensive beauty products. By using these tips, you could save hundreds of dollars on beauty products that often don't meet your expectations. How often have you purchased a product that, after a couple of uses didn't suit you. Avoid making expensive mistakes and enjoy natural beauty care.

Tip #1. Hydrating your skin can make you look younger.

Alkaline water is more in balance with the cells in your body. Keeping your body hydrated on the inside as well as the outside, gives your skin a more youthful appearance. Tap water can leave harsh deposits on the skin and make it dry.

Drink 8 glasses of alkaline water per day. Avoid using tap water on your face, deposits in the water can have a very drying effect, which can make the skin look older. While your skin is still damp, after bathing or showering, use baby oil to lock in moisture.

Tip #2. Food Secrets for Beauitful Skin

Skin care products will not guarantee beautiful skin. It's eating the right foods and treating the skin from within that does the trick. The best-kept food secrets for beautiful skin are those that work best in making your skin radiate with a healthy glow.

Dark Chocolate which contains at least 60% cocoa and little or no sugar is the best for your skin. Cocoa is very rich in antioxidants that regulate blood flow to the skin, resulting in better hydration, protection from free radicals and prevention of wrinkles. Walnuts are a healthy source of Omega-3 and Vitamin E. Omega-3 can prevent high-cholesterol, heart diseases, arthritis, psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. Vitamin E protects the skin from free radicals and strengthens the skin cells for a firmer, smoother skin. Sweet Potatoes are a great source of beta-carotene, which the body can converted into retinol. Retinol is very similar to collagen, which helps to keep the skin smooth and firm.

Tip #3. Make Your Own Natural Skin Care Products

You'll be amazed at the number of items already in your store cupboard that can be used to make great Natural Skin Care Products. Or that can be easily and cheap purchased from your local store. You may even have some growing in your kitchen garden.

Green Beans make a great face wash. Oatmeal can be used as a gentle face pack. Apple Cider Vinegar is really good for deep pore cleansing and removing excess oil. Egg whites are perfect for getting rid of acne.

Natural Ingredients - Are They Really Better For Your Skin and Hair?

By Sonia Evelyn 

Today we find a growing number of cosmetics screaming out the benefits of their natural ingredients enticing us to part with our hard earned pennies. As we strive for healthier looking skin and hair through the associated benefits of such naturals ingredients, the story seems incredibly plausible. However, while the discerning shopper may be super equipped to spot a paraben or a sulphate, how many of us really understand what's in our cosmetics.

As we search for answers to keep us staying young and beautiful, cosmetic companies heavily sell us the story of bio-actives, extracts,organics, botanics, herbal and the like. Yes, those lovely exotic ingredients, from far away shores with the potential to relieve all our problems and transform us into visions of loveliness.

As a manufacturer myself, I would like to share a few tips to help you make more informed choices.


These natural ingredients more often than not are processed so much that by the time they get to into your product,their potency has somewhat diminished if at all existent and bares very little resemblance to its original form.

Natural extracts need to be mixed with other chemicals, leached or masticated to be preserved. Often the preservatives used can be harsher than a regular synthetic product. Sometimes the extract will be preserved in oils and so avoid the heavy preservative.

Some natural ingredients such as clays can be also be unpredictable. Their potency and effectiveness can differ considerably, depending on a variety of growing conditions, such the soil and weather.

Finally always read your labels to see how high in the ingredients list your yummy ingredients feature. As a rule of thumb, I would say with any natural products worth its salt, if you can't grow or drink the first three ingredients, then maybe look somewhere else.


There is currently no definition of natural in the UK, so cosmetics only need to contain 1% of natural ingredients to be called natural. So try not to put all your focus on the marketing hype around the bamboo, yucca and shea butter, you may actually be buying a 99% synthetic product. Instead look for products which are certified or have listed their percentage of natural. That way you know you're getting value for money. However, beware there are many organisations stamping products as natural all with differing criteria. Help though is at hand for the consumer, with Ecocert working to unify certification. So hopefully, the minefield of natural ingredients will finally be more consumer friendly simplifying choices when what natural really means.

12 Free Beauty Tips- Make-Up And Cosmetics

By Mike Jones 

Use these 12 free beauty tips to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your choice of make-up and cosmetics:

Free Beauty Tip #1:

When shopping for lip color and eye shadow, put a clean sheet of white paper in your bag. New lip colors can be tested on the paper along with a strip of eye shadow. You can then examine the colors in daylight outside, away from the artificial lighting in the store.

 Free Beauty Tip #2:

Fragrance: Use two light formulas together to lock a scent in rather than a heavy application of one fragrance which can overwhelm those close to you. Using a scented body cream and then lightly spraying with an eau de toilette or parfum of the same scent will still result in a long-lasting effect.

 Free Beauty Tip #3:

Just use regular cold cream to remove oil-based makeup.

 Free Beauty Tip #4:

Make your nails seem more slender by applying a dark nail varnish down the center part of the nail being careful not to take it right to the edge of the sides of nail.

 Free Beauty Tip #5:

When testing the color of a foundation and you are already wearing a foundation, use the areas on your neck or inner arm. The skin tone in these areas matches the face more closely than the hands and a better judgment can be made.

 Free Beauty Tip #6:

To find the best spot to apply blush, smile widely, take note of where the cheek rises to a round shape. This lifted part of the cheek is the best place for blush to look natural as a flush will often color this area of the cheek.

 Free Beauty Tip #7:

For concealer to last many hours, be sure to apply it in small amounts at a time in two or three layers. This technique guarantees long wear.

 Free Beauty Tip #8:

With oily skin, avoid toners that contain alcohol as these can dry out the skin and block impurities beneath the surface. To avoid over drying the skin use toners containing AHA's. They help to smooth the skin's texture.

 Free Beauty Tip #9:

Every so often gather all the make-up you have from various places and do an analysis. Be ruthless and throw out anything over two years old, that has a musty odor, that is messy or runny, where liquids have separated, or anything that is dirty or falling apart such as sponges and brushes. By optimizing in this way you can purchase new supplies where needed and keep your make-up kit in top condition.

 Free Beauty Tip #10.

If you have oily skin, use very little moisturizer or, if possible, none at all. Too much moisturizer on oily skin can cause makeup to slide away.

 Free Beauty Tip #11:

If lip lines are a problem, apply lipstick vertically instead of horizontally.

 Free Beauty Tip #12:

When removing makeup, take a Q-tip which has been dipped in a non-oily remover and run it over the eyelashes to take off any remaining mascara.
