Top 10 Beauty Tips

Okay, so you may not admit it openly, but how many times have you stared at those drop-dead Models in the "Top 10 Beauty Tips" or "Top Ten Fashion Tips" sections of Beauty Magazines, without thinking, "I wish I had that pout!" or "I wish I had a cleavage like hers", or perhaps "I wish my hair looked as stunning as hers!" or "I'd kill for that eye make-up!" Don't worry, you're not the only one. Truth is, all of us have done it at some point or the other.
But guess what? It isn't wishful thinking any more! Welcome to the age of Makeovers, Style Gurus and Fitness Fads, with a few easy-to-do routine tips on Skin Care, Hair Care, Make-up, and Styling, now we all can flaunt a sexy, cool and elegant look at all times. Here are our Top 10 Beauty Tips to get you started:
1. Skin Care Tips

Beauty may not be skin-deep, but it does play a significant role in your overall personality. Talk to a skin expert and they'll tell you how your skin reflects your inner health and wellness, and therefore it is important for all of us to have a clean, clear skin free of Acnes, Pimples, blackheads and other skin-related disorders. Check out these quick skin care tips:
Dry Brush Your Skin Before Shower.

We're not kidding! Using a Dry Brush on your skin everyday before bath actually helps stimulate the oil glands in our skin. Remember not to use a harsh brush though. There are soft bristled body brushes available in the market these days. Begin brushing gently from your feet upwards in circular motion. Finish with a warm shower and massage your body with a moisturizer that suits your skin type.

Avoid using Astringents unless your skin is very oily, and restrict their use on the oily zone, if necessary. For a quick homemade exfoliating scrub, add white granulated sugar to your body wash. Sugar is one of the most effective and will make your skin clean and smooth. Remember to wash your tub or shower thoroughly after applying this to avoid any stickiness.

2. Hair Care Tips

Don't underestimate the power of your tresses! According to Style and Makeover experts, Hair constitutes nearly 50% of your personality. Take care of your hair and they'll take care of you. Ignore them and they'll ruin your evening! Fact is, no amount of dressing up or make up can substitute for a healthy, shiny hair. Here are some quick hair care tips to help your hair look more stunning than ever.
Having a Flat Hair Day?

Blow-drying your hair upside down for about 10 minutes could help add more volume and make your hair look bouncy.

Let your hair smell good

Spray your Comb or Hair Brush with your favorite perfume and then brush your hair. It'll add a subtle fragrance in your hair and make you feel good!

Thin down Your Hair Conditioner And Shampoo

Most hair shampoos and conditioners are very thick so you can save some bucks by thinning them down with water and increasing the quantity.
Maximize your Hair Style

Most people think they can set their Hair well by constant blow-drying, but this is far from true. Truth is, your hair will set best when it is cooling off after the blow-drying. To maximize your hair-style, apply a hair spray to your hair while using blow dryer and hot rollers.
If you're tempted to get that "Salon style blowout hair affect" at home, towel dry your wet hair and segregate it into many sections. Pick each section at a time and blow dry using a round brush.

3. Make-up Tips

Except for the celebs and models that are bound by their profession, most of us are always racing against our tight schedules and have neither the time nor the energy to spend hours in a beauty salon every day. What we do need is a few quick and simple makeup tips that would come handy in our day-to-day life and are easy to follow. Here are a few makeup tips that will make you look good everyday and you can easily follow these without spending too much time or effort:

The right make-up

Don't get swept off by all those beauty products in the market-they may not be right for you and can have adverse effect on your skin. If you're dealing with skin problems like pimples, Acne, Blackheads or have oily skin, you need to be careful while buying makeup and should use moisturizers, foundations, eye shadows and blushes that are oil free. Always pick skin care products that are labeled "noncomedogenic" (do not encourage the formation of closed pores) or "non-acnegenesis" (do not cause acne).
4. Nail Care Tips

Nails can either enhance your beautiful looks or can make you look really untidy and messy infront of your friends and colleagues. To avoid embarrassment and to make sure you have beautiful, shining nails, here are a few nail care tips:

Cut your nails regularly as long, unkept nails can accumulate dirt and germs and can cause infection.

If you suffer from weak, brittle nails, often it could be because you have not been drinking enough water of due to calcium deficiency. So drink lots of water every day and increase the intake of calcium in your diet!

Put on rubber gloves before you clean your dishes or do laundry because harsh detergents and dishwashers can wreck nails and stress nail fibers.

5. Get Rid of Unwanted Facial hair

Unwanted facial hair had always been the cause of embarrassment to the women suffering from it, but not any longer! Today, all you need to do is walk into a good beauty parlor or skin clinic and get rid of the unwanted facial hair with the help of the experts.

6. Pamper your Feet

Don't forget to include your feet in your daily beauty regimen-they're one of your biggest assets!
Getting regular foot massage and pedicure helps stimulate the circulation of blood.

After a long walk, pamper your tired feet by indulging in a luxurious footbath.

Try this relaxation technique: Add a few drops of essential oils in a basin filled with warm water. Place small pebbles in the basin. Run your toes and soles over the pebbles and relax for 15 minutes.

7. Exercise Regularly

Remember your external beauty is only a reflection of your inner beauty and a healthy body reflects a healthy mind. Take 15 minutes off from your routine everyday and indulge in a fitness activity you enjoy. You can practice yoga, go swimming, hit a gym, learn aerobics or take dance lessons-whatever keeps you stimulated, juts go for it! If you're a sports buff, you can practice your favorite sport as part of your fitness regimen.

8. Eat Healthy

Much of our health and fitness depends on what we eat on a daily basis. Stay away from junk and processed foods and stick to a healthy, balanced diet. Organic foods are becoming increasingly popular all over the world and are an excellent substitute for canned, processed foods, which contain harmful chemicals. Depending upon your calorie requirement (which can be assessed by a fitness expert), you can chart out a diet for yourself, which meets your daily nutritional needs and keeps your fit. Include foods rich in fibre, whole grains, pulses, green vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products in adequate amount in your daily diet.

9. Quit smoking

It may be hard, but the best thing you can do for a beautiful, glowing complexion is to stop smoking. Smoking both dehydrates and deprives your skin of oxygen, so you will see real benefits - skin will become smoother and more radiant.

10. Choose a good perfume

Remember Al Paccino's memorable lines in the "Scent of a Woman?" Who does not like to hang out with someone smelling good?

Good fragrance works like a magic spell and makes you stand out in a gathering. The coolest thing about applying a perfume is-it can be your signature scent, drawing everyone's attention wherever you go!

Each perfume has a unique fragrance and is meant to strike chemistry with the person wearing it. Pick a fragrance that complements your personality and gels with the mood of the occasion. For ex-while at work, you can use deodorants and body sprays with natural flavors whereas bold or strong scents can be used during parties or at more informal occasions.

While testing a perfume, always apply the scents to your pulse points first since this is where the blood vessels are closest to the skin and tend to give off more warmth and spread the scent around.

Watch out for any allergies and irritant reactions in case you're allergic to a fragrance.
