Beauty & Hair Tips

Recognizing simple hair and beauty tips can have you looking younger, more radiant and give you a boost of confidence in no time. Keep in mind that failing to moisturizing the skin on a regular basis can lead to aging, regular haircuts can make an enormous impact on the growing patterns of the hair and using alternatives to sun tanning is safer.

Hydrate the Skin

·         People with smooth, radiant skin can look up to 10 years younger than their actual age. That's why it's important to keep the skin hydrated. Hydrated skin looks radiant and glowing in comparison to dry, dull skin. You can hydrate your skin with moisturizers or by using a hydrating body wash. Moisturizers should contain components that hold in moisture such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, mineral oil and dimethicone. In the shower, body lotions are good hydrating body washes.

Glowing Skin

·         Self-tanners add radiance to your skin without using the sun's harmful rays. Self-tanners contain an active ingredient called DHA, which turns the outer layer of the skin cells brown. Radiant, tan skin can also give the illusion that you have lost a few pounds. In order to avoid streaks, you can use a low DHA lotion daily, which will give you a glow at a more gradual pace.

Trim Your Hair

·         Trimming the hair is a vital part of hair care and maintenance, regardless of whether you are growing your hair or not. Every woman should trim split ends at least every six to eight weeks. Frequent haircuts will keep your hair looking vital and healthy and will make it grow longer and faster because it removes split ends. If you have split ends, the hair will continue to split, which halts growth; removing them allows for strong, healthy hair to grow. Be sure to have a professional trim your hair to ensure it is done accurately.

Get Voluminous Hair

·         Simple tips and tricks can add body and give your hair the volume you've been looking for. You can apply a volumizing hair spray to your roots and then blow dry the hair with a round brush to add height to the crown of the head. Curling the hair with a curling iron will also add body, but a healthier method is using hot rollers. Hot rollers put less heat on the hair, and thus, cause less damage to occur (the more heat you put on your hair, the more split ends you will get).
