Everybody loves glamour. As much as we hate to admit it, we love looking at ourselves in the mirror. Sometimes, we like to imagine how cool it is to be a movie star.
But, the reality is that these movie stars have an entire team of people helping them with their appearance. On the other hand, we are forced to manage things by ourselves. To make matters worse, make-up is really expensive and most of us make mistakes during the grooming process.
Do not worry! We got your back. Read these tips that will drastically improve your look on a budget. Who knows, perhaps a Hollywood mirror with lights is waiting for you?
- Skin
Skin is the basis for everything. Even though some people neglect it and focus on things such as the eyes and hair, skin is the one that gives our body that beautiful glow.
First of all, make sure to keep an eye cream in a refrigerator. Besides the effect of cream itself, cold will reduce puffiness and improve circulation when you apply the cream around your eyes.
When removing make-up, make sure to use milk for cleaning. Thick milk can be used by tapping in on the face and then, with a dry swab, you can absorb the mixture of milk and make-up. Later on, go over your face once again until it’s completely clean. The point of this is not only removing make-up but also to gently massage your face and improve circulation.
People often neglect skin on their lips. However, this area is especially sensitive and it requires additional attention. There is no need for your lips to dry out. Instead of using expensive cosmetic products, you can use a moist toothbrush. First, massage your lips with it and then, apply lip balm. Besides the massage, toothbrush can also be used for lip peeling. Just add some honey on it and you are good to go.
On the topic of massage, if you’re feeling tense, go and get one! A myofascial release will help you relax and make you feel more comfortable in your skin, rather than being all knotted up and it’ll give you a great glow.
If you have a lot of issues when styling your eyebrows, you can use a pencil to line its outer edges. After that, everything which is outside should be plucked. This is a good way to create boundaries; definitely a much better solution than plucking follicles and random and destroying your eyebrows.
Skin irritations are a common thing after depilation. Redness usually appears on face and arms. Luckily for you, it is possible to treat this area with a special tonic. That way, irritation will recede much quicker. Just make sure that the product is without alcohol as it dries out the skin.
- Nails
Sometimes, your nails may lose their natural color or turn yellow from a bad nail polish remover. If you have this issue, make sure to put lemon juice on it and leave it be for a while. Vitamins within it will quickly restore healthy appearance to your nails
Ultra-fine nail file is must have item for everybody. It reduces damage to nails.
- Hair
When using a shampoo, make sure to avoid applying it on the same part of your head. This way, you are protecting follicles from negative impact of the product.
The way you use a brush is also important. When drying your hair with a dryer, make sure to brush your hair from roots to ends. Also, it is much better to do it when your hair is half dry. After a while, you will notice the difference in your Hollywood mirror.
If your ends are really wild, you can put a regular hand cream on them. This will quickly tame it.
With these tips, you are on your way of becoming a movie star! As you can see, it all revolves around techniques and proper usage of products. There is no need for big investment as there are always some better natural alternatives.
