You can camouflage an unsightly double chin by brushing on a swipe of rosy-brown powder blush along your jawline from your ears to your chin.

Use a face mask at least once a week. Depending on which one you choose, this will help remove impurities from your face. A mud or clay mask is best for removing impurities. You will see results immediately. Once you find a mask you like, you should stick with it.

To add life to dull winter skin, look for a moisturizer or highlighter that has a warm pink or gold undertone. Apply it with a cosmetics sponge on the brows and cheek bones to make your skin glow. Don’t overdo it though, because it’s easy to just make your face look shiny and oily.

If you have very narrow eyes, you can create the illusion that they are more widely opened by first using an eyelash curler to curl your top lashes. Apply a dark brown mascara to the middle lashes, then tilt the wand diagonally and apply the mascara to the outer lashes.

To heal facial blemishes overnight, wash your face well and dab on a little pure tea tree oil before bed. You can also use tea tree oil full strength during the day or mix it with aloe vera gel for a light, natural, healing daytime moisturizer that tones and firms your skin.

To get eyelashes that really pop, eyelash extensions are the perfect solution. It is not best to wear these every single day, but they are wonderful for a party or a wedding. They can look very natural as long as you don’t go overboard, and will bring out the color of your eyes.

Epsom salts can be used more for your beauty regimen. Aching muscles can be treated with Epsom salts. You can also mix it with lavender to create a topical paste. Apply this paste to any problematic areas, and leave it on overnight. Your skin will be improved dramatically.

Adding gloss will help your lips look beautiful and full. Outline the perimeter of your lips to give a more vibrant tone to your lip area. For best results, apply a top coat of peach,gold or coral gloss.

Get rid of ingrown hairs with lotion. The benefits of using lotion are increased when it is applied right after shaving. A dry skin will cause ingrown hairs, but you can very easily avoid this. Doing this will cause your ingrown hairs to fall out, and new ones won’t be formed.

To boost your hair’s shine when you wash it in the sink or shower, give it a final rinse under really cold water, if you can stand it. The cold water helps to seal the hair’s cuticle, making your tresses look smoother, shinier, and less frizzy than rinsing with hot water.

Spray mist over your face after you have your makeup applied. It will set the makeup and keep it where it should be much longer. This is a great method to use when you have a long day ahead of you like if it is your wedding day or you have a night out after work planned.

You can spend big bucks on special dandruff shampoos containing salicylic acid for your dandruff and/or flaky scalp. But did you know that salicylic acid is, in fact, aspirin?

Let it sit on your scalp for a minute and you will find it has the same result as more expensive treatments.

Dental care should also be apart of your regular beauty routine. If you have a wonderful smile, you can get far. This will be helpful in life’s endeavors.
