These tips are what works for my face. No matter how hard I try, if I do not get enough rest, the pimple ( acne) just won’t
go. Without any efforts, my face bounces back to it’s freshness when I include green veggies and fruits in my meals and then do these three major things: A smooth face is easy to have and maintain, if only we constantly do what works for our faces.
- Rest whenever I sense that my body is tired.
- Sleep sleep sleep.
- Remember not to go to bed with make-up
It feels like the second point is impossible but it is’t. We cannot get enough sleep because of our priorities and time management. If we take some minutes out of the time we use for each of these:
-
soap opera
- listening to music
- chatting with friends
- Social Networking
- Reading and watching celebrity gossip
- watching recorded TV shows, etc
we will get enough time for sleep. Sometimes we complain that our jobs do not give us time to rest, but after closing from work, what do we do?
we spend hours chatting at the salon or go shopping and spend hours just looking round. If we can give sleep and rest an important place on our “TO DO” list, we will most certainly see the result on our glowing faces. It works for me.
Whenever I see some rough skin on my face, I just know that my body is going through some kind of stress and needs rest.
How to Clean The Face
The skin on the face is so tender that it requires care and attention when cleaning. Clean the face in circles, avoid rubbing it from up to down. Use a soft sponge or cloth. If water works for your skin type, then go ahead. In case washing does not go down well with your face, then look for good facial cleansers that can penetrate the skin pores and give your face a good cleaning.
I wash mine with mild soap and water. I had tried using cleansers but do not like the feel. Tried different types, but they all do kind of feel like a little bit peppery on my face, so I just continued washing with soap and water. In as much as there is no acne, who cares what method is used. One thing that is so relaxing for me is the splash of fresh, clean water on my face. I love it!
After cleaning, face creams should be applied in circles too. Any cream or chemical that hurts should be discontinued. Products that are good a skin type should neither sting nor burn in any way.
Removing Nasal Hair
How I take off hair from my nose is just by using hair removing creams ( Veet works well for me) and ear bud or what we call cotton bud. I take some cream with the ear bud, looking in a mirror, I rub it at the exact spot where the hair is sticking out, do same for the other nostril and leave it for 5 minutes. To wipe the hair and cream off my nose, I take clean ear buds, gently wipe and dispose, and continue that way until the nose is clean. While wiping the cream, strands of hair are seen on the ear bud. When the wiping is all done, the nose is carefully washed by gently splashing water in. Sometimes, I rub in a little petroleum jelly like vaseline, baby jelly or olive oil. It doesn’t hurt if you heed the instructions on the hair removing cream. If the period of cream application and washing exceeds five minutes, it may hurt the skin inside the nostrils. Do not rub the cream too deep in the nose. Only put it where you can see and wipe. Anyway this is not like what works for everyone. It is just that I am sharing what works for me.
Tips For Facial Hair
There was a period I used skin tone creams to even up my complexion without realizing that continous use will result in facial hair. When these tiny strands of hair begin to appear on the face, makeup does not look very smooth anymore. Do not use shaving sticks on the face. Hair removal or shaving creams are to harsh for the delicate skin on the face. The hair disappears once the topical or toning creams are discontinued on the face ( I actually mean my face here). Shaving does not stop facial hair from growing again. For the upper lip, it is different because most ladies with hairy skins do have a little bit of hair on the upper lip which they manage easily by shaving from time to time. Facial hair can appear due to some factors like age, hormones, some medications etc.
For a woman to completely do away with facial hair, you may need to change your body creams and beauty products. A dermatologist can instruct you on what products are best for your skin type. One thing about Skin tone creams for me is that they have a way of giving the face that natural feel of smoothness.Sun screen? great! For how long can one continue to tone? What do you think about a wax? There are products in the market that promise to completely do away with facial hair. The dermatologist should know better about those.
Tips For Dark Circles Under the Eyes
Slices of cucumber placed on the eyes can perform wonders. Lately I have just become a little lazy about this things. Each time I place some slices of cucumber on my closed eyes, they cleanse the areas around the eyes in that very instant. Potatoes and teabags work well too. Though I tried them a few times, the one I got stuck on is the sliced cucumber. I used to brighten my eyes with visine eye drop, but have paused so it doesn’t become a habit.
Tips For A Flawless Face
- Foundations are a must for me, there is just one good thing about Foundations and face powders, they cover up every little spot on the face. Foundations must not be a shade lighter or darker than your face. Sometimes I do mix two different shades to get my perfect tone.
- Eyelashes are the secret of a total transformation. Anytime I want to hear comments from friends and colleagues about my face, I wear fake lashes. They are the best! Love them a bit long, but not as long as Goldie Harvey’s. A little mascara is just fine. The girls will always insist that I put on more mascara.
- For the lips, as long as there is some lip gloss there to keep it moist, I am good.
The two very important things when I am really in the mood for make up are my foundation and eye lashes.
