Glam-Tastic

Sorry guys went a bit AWOL on you, been a hectic few months, hope to get things up and running again very soon, be getting tips and recommendations out to you soon :)

Nodoby likes the idea of getting older BUT here is a few tips to help keep you looking younger ;)

*Vitamin A- This is a skin softening product typically used in creams or lotions. Check the bottle before buying.

*Hyaluronic Acid- This holds 1000 times its weight in water, so when used on the skin provides super hydration qualities. It helps maintain collagen and elastin in the skin. Available in capsule form from Holland and Barrats.

*WATER cannot be stressed enough in caring for your skin. I know myself it can be hard to get your 8 glasses per day, try to carry a bottle of water with you at all times or drink a small cup every few hours.

*Lifestyle-
Diet- plenty of fluids, fresh fruit and vegetables, protein and fibres are of course all vital in keeping our bodies healthy and of course if our bodies are healthy this will shine through your skin. Processed foods, foods high in sugar and saturated fat will make your skin and hair appear dull and lifeless.
Exercise- Regular exercise is important in keeping skin healthy due to the amount of toxins you tend to sweat from your body, just make sure to drink pleanty of water while exercising to avoid dehydration.
Stress- Stress tends to speed up the ageing process, exercise can actually prove to be a useful ally in combating stress as it releases endorphins which is a "feel good" hormone. Another more fun way to release these hormones is enjoying a healthy s*x life. At the end of the day just remember no amount of stress is worth your health and wellbeing.

Hope this helps, get pampering ladies ;)

Here is some tips to make sure your oily skin is getting some TLC:

*Golden Rule- NEVER overwash oliy skin!! Overwashing will only stimulate your skin to produce even more oil. Twice daily (morning and before bed) is fine.

*Aviod soap as it strips skin of its natural oils.

*Use a gel based cleanser that says its specifically for oily skin, this will clean out your pores and strip away excess oils, Nivea do a good range.

*A inportant step sometimes forgotten is toning. Toner picks up left over dirt, oils and cleanser. Pay attention to the areas around the nose.

*Exfoliate once or twice a week as it will get rid of dead skin cells and bring healthy skin to the surface faster. If you are acne prone be gentle and aviod over exfoliating.

*Use a clay mask once a week, choose one for deep pores as people with oily skin tend to have larger pours, the clay mask will clean out and tighten pours.

*If you use a primer choose a anti-shine primer as it forms a layer between the skin and the makeup that works to absorbe excess oil.

*Last but not least, loose power should become your best friend, if you feel your skin becoming oily or looking shiney apply a little powder and it will absorbe the excess oil without destroying your makeup and confidence.

Hope this helps :) x

Any Ladies (or gents) out there suffering dry skin here is a few pointers:

*Aviod using alocohol based products as they do dry out your skin even further.

*Use oil based products to moisturise the skin.

*Dry skin will soak up any moisture placed on it so a good primer will provide moisture and a protective coat for applying foundation.

*A rich nightcream will work wonders for dry skin.

Everybody seems to be on the hunt for larger more open eyes so I've got a couple of tips to help you achieve this,

Firstly eyebrow shaping is very important, the creation of an arch will give the impression of a lifted eye which apperars wider and longer.

Curling the lashes opens the eye and allows you to reveal more of the Iris.

A while pencil used on the lower inner eyelid will also open and brighten the eye.

Individual or strip lashes also make a huge difference to the face, especially when applied to the outside upper lashes, adding depth width and lengthto small round eyes.

Hope these little tips help you guys, if you have any of your own to share please do, always good to know more :) X
