Simple Tricks for Looking Beautiful

--One of the best tricks for looking beautiful is to spend an extra minute each morning and evening on your face. In the morning, apply witch hazel with a cotton ball after washing with a mild soap (and before applying make-up). At bedtime, remove your make-up with a mild soap or make-up remover. Then, follow up with a moisturizer.

Why a moisturizer? Every woman needs to use a moisturizer to restore balance to facial skin. One moisturizer recommended is Olay Regenerist UV Defense Regenerating Lotion SPF 15. Although a little pricey, this moisturizer is touted as the best by Consumer Reports and is a great trick for looking beautiful.

--Shampoo your hair using the correct technique. Yes, using proper shampooing technique is one of many tricks for looking beautiful. A good shampoo technique will help your hair be healthier, and therefore, look beautiful. According to the Free Beauty Tips website, here's how: thoroughly wet your hair. Put shampoo in your palm and briefly lather between both hands. Then, lather the shampoo into your hair near its roots rather than the ends. Be gentle. It is important to rinse and repeat, leaving the second bit of shampoo in your hair for a minute or two while you finish showering. Shampoo actually has chemicals to help your hair look lovely, so leave it on to work its magic. After you step out of the shower, treat your hair carefully as you squeeze out the water and towel dry.

--Some tricks for looking beautiful don't cost a dime. Get a free make-up lesson at your local department store. Most of us walk right by the make-up departments, in a hurry to get where we are going. Frankly, even if you have no intention of purchasing the products, go ahead and take the time to get a make-up lesson at no charge. You will learn valuable techniques on make-up application, types of products to use, and your problem areas.

If you can purchase any of the beauty products demonstrated during your free lesson, consider doing so. Select just one product that you believe would make you look your best. Maybe it's the lipstick shade you tried, the cream rouge rather than the powder you normally wear, or the eye highlighter. Sometimes, looking beautiful isn't so mysterious.
