10 AMAZING Beauty Tips To Make Your Life Better!

Whether you’re busy with school and friends, or work and your little ones, the following 10 skin and beauty tips can help you pamper yourself without wasting a lot of time!

1. Dry Skin – If you’re suffering from winter-induced dry skin, purchase some unrefined Shea Butter. This stuff is fantastic for your skin! Drop a few tablespoons in a warm bath and soak. Your skin will be smooth and hydrated. It also has a lot of anti-aging properties as well.

2. Hard Time Sleeping? When you don’t get enough sleep, it can cause a lot of problems from dark under-eye circles to a serious case of the grouchies. A few drops of lavender essential oil rubbed into your hands and then onto your pillow (drops on your pillow could stain) will have a calming effect.

3. Damaged Hair – Speaking of pillows, to prevent damaged hair, sleep with a satin pillow case. It’s much easier on your hair and you’ll experience less breakage and fewer split ends.

4. Lipstick – To make your lipstick stay on longer, apply a coat of foundation to your lips before applying the color!

5 a. Puffy Eyes – If you have puffy eyes in the morning, apply a warm, wet teabag for ten minutes to reduce the swelling.

5 b. Dark Circles – For dark circles, eat plenty of leafy, green veggies. If you need a quick fix, blot concealer on and then tap it gently with your fingers rather than rubbing it in.

....while a bit of shimmery or light shadow near the inside corners of your eyes can make your nose look smaller.

If you think your lips are too large, use clear gloss rather than lipstick, or vice versa if you feel as though your lips are too thin.

7. Hair Treatment – Shea Butter is also great for your hair! Put a few tablespoons in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds until melted. Massage it into your hair for a super-healthy ‘hot oil’ treatment, focusing on the ends. Leave for several minutes before washing with your regular shampoo!

8. Shiny Hair – To help your hair shine, blast it with cool air directly after using the heat setting on your blow dryer or straightener.

9. Fingernails – To help your fingernails grow more quickly, massage moisturizer into your cuticles and then push them back gently. Alternatively, use Vitamin E oil or Tea Tree oil.

10. Feet – To maintain soft and silky feet, soak them in an olive oil bath. Use 3 tablespoons olive oil to a gallon of water. This can be done before using a pumice stone as well.
