| Every now and then, take a weekend out and treat yourself to a full beauty tune-up for your skin. When your skin is looking its best you're bursting with energy and well being. Make an appointment for a relaxing oxygen facial or a full body massage and manicure. Want to look like you flew to the Caribbean for the weekend? Then take a few hours to try out the latest self-tanners that provide a safe, real-looking tan, while moisturizing your skin. Sometimes having that healthy golden glow, even in the middle of the winter, can just make you feel so good. Indulge yourself regularly with things like massages, facials, bubble baths, long walks and alone time to read and contemplate your life.
When your mind is at rest, your body will appreciate the effects of this state of relaxation. Proper rest is very important to your overall health and the health of your skin, so get plenty of rest. Reduce stress by gardening, hiking in the woods, or playing a round of golf. Or try simply parking your car a few blocks from work. This regular exercise will most definitely make you feel and look better. Don't forget to drink lots of water. When you drink water, it not only hydrates you inside, but it hydrates your skin as well. Eating healthy foods can also provide essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals and fiber, and are often lower in calories than processed foods. And last, but certainly not least, do something for someone else. This will make you feel good on the inside, which always makes you more beautiful on the outside.
Take care of your body by following some of these tips. When you feel good about your appearance, you'll be amazed at how good you will feel about yourself. These two aspects tie in together so closely that you must consider them both carefully to become a complete and healthy being.
General Beauty Tips
Quick and Easy Lip Shine
Rub a generous layer of Vaseline onto your lips and around them for a lasting lip shine; also prevents chapping and cold sores.
Reduce Pregnancy Stretch Marks
Aromatherapists recommend an anti-stretch mark concoction of 2 drops of both frankincense and myrrh, 5 drops of lavender, 3 drops of geranium and 2 fl. oz. of calendula carrier oil. This mixture may be applied to the breasts, stomach, buttocks, and thighs in the morning and at night, starting in the 2nd trimester.
Sunburn
Aloe Vera gel on sunburned areas helps soothe and heal.
Puffy Eyes & Under-eye Circle Remedy
Run a metal spoon under cold water then place on the puffy area for at least 1 minute. You can also apply hemorrhoid cream carefully to the puffy areas; make sure it does not get in your eyes. A great herbal treatment: place chamomile tea bags or cucumber slices over your eyes for 15 minutes and rinse well with cool water.
Dry Lip Exfoliation
Add lip brushing to your morning ritual using a soft toothbrush or terry washcloth. Now add some lip balm to smooth the way for lipstick-worthy lips!
