Beauty Tips on Skin - Skin Care

BEAUTY TIP OF THE MONTH
To keep wrinkles at bay, soften your skin, and stimulate circulation, make sure you regularly do a face massage. Make sure your face and hands are completely clean, then gently but firmly move your fingertips in an upward and outward fashion towards your temple.

Back to basics
When washing your face, always wash your hands first — this prevents bacteria transferring to your skin.

Vitamin power
A daily 2000mg dosage of Vitamin C will prevent appearance of broken blood vessels in your skin. It also helps strengthen blood vessel walls, leading to more resilient skin.

Face massage

Stop peeling your polish!
The protective layer of the nail is often removed when chipped nail polish is peeled off. Always use a proper nail polish remover instead.

Minimise a wide nose
To narrow down a broad nose, apply a light foundation or highlighter down the centre, with a darker shade along the sides.

Check your make-up lighting
Make-up will always look different in artificial light as it does in natural. Try to apply your make-up in the similar lighting conditions that you'll be dealing with later.

Past their use-by date?
Cosmetics cannot last forever — so throw them away once their time is up. You can tell a liquid foundation and nail colour is out-of-date when it separates. Eyeshadow changes in colour and seems to harden, mascara turns lumpy and dry, and lipstick becomes discoloured and mouldy. Euw!

Past their use-by date?
Vaseline is a must-have beauty product. It's inexpensive and has multiple uses. You can apply on lips to moisturise, on upper cheeks for a "glow" or dewy effect, to smooth or tame brows, and to condition and darken eye lashes. It can also be used to fake a fresh manicure. Apply Vaseline on cuticles as a moisturiser when your nails look shabby and you have no time for a manicure. The sheen allows it to last longer than plain old hand cream.
