Skincare Tips and Beauty Advice

By Makeup Girl

We as women, spend a lot of our time putting on makeup, polishing our nails, doing our hair, whatever we can do to help enhance our natural beauty. When it comes to our faces, there are few things more important to take care of than our skin. When the skin on our faces is healthy, there is a beautiful glow that will add to anybodys beauty.

Have you ever noticed how many expensive treatments there are out there for our faces? Not only are they expensive, but it is often hard to truly know if you are getting your money's worth. I have that the best remedies are actually the least expensive. They are the least expensive because they are natural items found in our kitchens. These beauty tips will help you bring out the radiance of your skin, without breaking the bank.

Exfoliating the skin on your face is crucial to help getting rid of the dead skin cells that can create a dull tone on the face. By exfoliating away the dead skins cells, you also encourage new skin cell creation which will keep your skin looking younger longer. One of the best exfoliating scrubs that I have found is one that you can make yourself. The recipe calls for sugar and honey. Simply mix them together in a one to one ratio. Sugar is the perfect exfoliating agent for the face because it is not too harsh. Something like salt could possibly tear the delicate skin on your face. Honey actually has moisturizing qualities so it is really helpful for replenishing the skin.

Keeping the moisture balance in your skin is extremely important. Applying a face mask about once a week will help rejuvenate your skin by deeply moisturizing it. Keeping your face properly hydrated will always help improve your skin tone. Instead of spending a lot of money on a deep moisturizing treatment, try using yogurt. Plain yogurt with no additives can be purchased from almost any natural foods store. The yogurt can be applied to your face and left on for about five to ten minutes just like you would leave any face mask on. The yogurt will help your face regain its moisture balance. The natural acidophilus in the yogurt will also help kill any unwanted bacteria which may help clear up minor acne.

Keeping your skin looking good doesnt have to cost a lot of money. Trying these skincare and beauty tips will help keep your overall skin tone looking beautiful. Improved skin requires less makeup in general, which can help minimize your daily makeup routine which can free up extra time each day. And who wouldn't want that? - 15266
