I love sharing the beauty care tips that I've learned over the years. Being a single mom at 48 does have it's challenges, but looking great is fundamental to me, as well as being a single parent! I love to look great and save money too! It’s a big part of who I am.
There are many things that you can do to look great that are inexpensive yet very effective! There are a ton of other beauty care tips on this web site.
This page contains 5 beauty care tips that are inexpensive yet very effective. Please read these first and then go explore around on the rest of the site.
If you don’t
clean your face
before you moisturize
and apply make-up,
you are painting
a dirty picture.
#1 - DRINK WATER – This, to me, is the single most important part of looking great! Out of all the other beauty care tips to look great on this website, I think it's the #1 tip I can give you!
Water is absolutely essential if you want your skin to look fresh and young and renewed. Everyone should get AT LEAST 8 glasses of water a day if not more.
Experience renewed energy and radiant skin & hair. Feel light, un-bloated & clean inside. Try Dual Action Cleanse today!
Water is essential for every bodily function. Personally I drink water from the time I get up in the morning, till the time I go to bed. It is a very important part of your anti aging skin care!
#2 - WHITEN YOUR TEETH – Another important beauty care tip to look great is to whiten your teeth! This is an easy tip that I do at least once every few days.
Before brushing your teeth in the morning, swish a small amount of Hydrogen Peroxide in your mouth for a minute or so. Use it just as you would a mouthwash. If you’re a coffee drinker like me, wait and do this AFTER you’ve finished your coffee! After swishing the hydrogen peroxide, brush your teeth up and down, not side to side! This ensures that your gums are getting a massage. Giving your gums a massage revives the circulation in your gums. This helps to ensure that your gums will hold your teeth firmly:o)
Be sure to brush for at least 2 minutes at least three times a day. If you don’t have a toothbrush at work, buy one and leave it there!
A Hydrogen Peroxide ‘wash’ will assist brushing and get your teeth really white. If you have sensitive gums and can’t wear the whitening strips, it’s a great alternative. I always recommend Crest toothpaste, as it’s recommended by most Dentists to be the best brand overall. Personally I use Crest Extra Whitening with Tartar Protection.
There is a word of caution here though.
Hydrogen Peroxide should NEVER be swallowed, so be sure not to!
I do not recommend this tip for young children or young adults. It's just too risky to allow them to swish with it. This is one of the tips to look great thats for Adults Only Please!

#3 - WEAR A SUNSCREEN – If you want to look great then PPPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE protect your skin! Its also one of the best beauty care tips to look great that I can give you!
There are a MILLION + reasons to wear an SPF. They are called ‘the rays of the sun’! The sun’s rays can do a lot of damage if you’re not careful! And please wear a Sunscreen that offers UVA and UVB protection in them.
There are two products that I know of that contain both. (Both are available on Ebay for a lot less $$$!) They are ‘Anthelios’ and ‘Ombrelle’ by L’Oreal. Anthelios contains Anthelios L, which is a total UVA sunblock. Ombrelle contains Parsol 1789, which is also a total UVA sunblock.
People always get UVA and UVB confused.
An easy way to remember it is that:
UVA is for Aging,
and UVB is for Burning.
(Difference between ‘A’ and ‘B’)
If you don’t protect your skin, your skin will surely age prematurely! You can get tan early in the season by using tanning lotions but you should also wear a sunblock when you're out in the sun, whether it be summer, winter, spring or fall.
You can get a nice tan using a regular sunblock. Some people often think that you can’t get tan using a sunblock. This is just not so! You will get tan using a sunblock. What you won’t get are the harmful rays!
Another way to get a nice tan without the damaging rays of the sun, are to simply use sunless tanning lotions. These have come a long way and work great! You'll get a nice tan without risking Cancer!
#4 - REMOVE FACIAL HAIR – Whatever you do, don’t walk around with a hairy face. This includes the mustache ladies!
PPPPPLLLLEEEAAASSEEE! Do whatever it takes to get it off of you! You can zip it off with hot wax at home using a microwave tweezeless wax or by using a depilatory like Neet. The easiest way to wax is to use tweezeless wax. It's a product that you heat up in the microwave and apply it to your skin. It zips right off without cloth strips. It can be bought at any Beauty Supply store like Sally’s and it’s cheap!
Get rid of that extra facial hair if you want to look great! And do this at least once a month. When your skin is hairless your foundation applies more smoothly and you don’t have ‘that dark area’ under your nose to detract from your beauty!
Don't shave though. The hair ends that grow back will be blunt therefore making the hair look darker and thicker. So DON’T SHAVE!
One other mentionable tip is to pluck your eyebrows and chin at least once a week. Keep all that extra hair off your face and you will look younger!
#5 - DON’T OVERDO MAKEUP! – It is so much better to underdo makeup than to overdo it!
Women never cease to amaze me! Some ladies just don't know when to QUIT! Everyone needs a good moisturizing lotion with SPF first, then a good foundation with SPF too. Throw in some light powder, blush, a bit of eyeliner OR mascara, and a lipstick and you should be ready to ROCK AND ROLL out the door.
Of course if you are going out for a night on the town, then yes, use mascara, eyeliner, shadows, and the whole nine yards. For work or everyday shopping though, go minimal. Let your glowing skin shine for you!~
