Beauty Products
As women we love anything that makes us appear to look younger, healthier, and more beautiful.
It doesn't matter how bad we may feel on the inside, we want to look good on the outside. If you have ever visited a hospital where a woman has had a fairly minor surgery, you may have seen the patient that will ask for a makeup bag and hair products before they will let friends and family come into see them.
Maybe you are the woman who has never left your home without makeup on. Maybe you know someone that is like that. We as women can be very vain. With all that we have going on in our lives with work and caring for children and a home we still manage the time to look good.
The products that we use for this transformation are immense. Personally I have a ton of creams, elixirs, serums, and a massive amount of makeup. I have tried everything to make my skin look younger, smoother, and healthier. I imagine that you have too, as it is a woman's duty to age gracefully, with help.
On the market the products have improved over the years. There is a makeup to please any woman. Organic, Eco-friendly, or plain old fashioned liquid makeup is among many. Choosing the makeup that best suits the needs and lifestyle that you have is the first order of business. Let's look at the offerings available to the beauty minded.
My favorite newer products are the natural and organic makeups and skincare. There is a huge amount of product lines to choose from today. They makeup is like a very finely milled powder, it is easy to apply, and is healthy for the skin. The makeup also feels good on the skin, and not cakey like much makeup's do. It blends in with your skin tone and looks natural. It covers blemishes, flaws and even rosacea. I do not recommend using any natural or organic makeup with talc as an ingredient, especially if you have sensitive skin. The colors of the makeup are created by the natural colors of the minerals. There is also a natural sun block in these mineral makeups, but using sun block under the makeup is still suggested.
When it comes to skin care and anti-aging, Botox and plastic surgery are not for me. I will age gracefully with the help of topical treatments. Cleansing the skin is important, and one of the most basic things you can do to keep your skin healthy. It should be done first thing in the morning and before bed at night. The cleanser should be gentle, and yes I prefer natural. Toners are good for tightening the pores on the face; avoid alcohol based toners as they dry out the skin. Applying a moisturizer after you  cleanse is probably one of the most important things to keep your skin healthy and supple. There are serums and creams, you can use. Using separate creams and serums for around the eye area is a good idea, because the skin around the eye is thinner and more sensitive. You should moisturize after cleansing and toning. Using a facial masque a few times a week is also good for deep cleaning and moisturizing.
There are great "pamper yourself" products out there like body scrubs, body creams, and hot wax treatments for the hands and feet. All of these are great things to make you feel good and look good. Shea Butter or Olive Oil products are great for the rough skin on the hands, feet, and elbows. It is also a good idea to apply a lotion or cream before you dip your hands or feet into that hot wax. It seals in the moisture.
For the body parts in between the head, hands, and feet, warm baths with moisturizing bath oils and cleansing lotions are a wonderful way to pamper yourself. It also helps to relieve stress, which can age the skin. Drink a lot of water every day, it is a great way to flush out toxins and keep the skin radiant.
Lips need care too, so keep them moisturized with a lip balm or cream that has a sun block in it. Smoking is bad for the skin and your health, but it especially affects the skin around the mouth from the pursing of your lips to take in the smoke. It prematurely ages your skin and takes away vital nutrients by decreasing the size of the blood cells that oxygenate your body. Just a little note to the wise, smoking is a bad thing. |
