Gorgeous Beauty

Remember, clean your makeup brushes to fight against potential bacteria and breakouts. At least once a week, swirl brushes around in a mixture of warm water and mild soap, then lay flat to dry.

Try to avoid washing your hair everyday. Constant shampooing leaves hair dry and your scalp will create more oils to compensate for the loss of moisture. Instead, use a dry shampoo and style your hair into a braid or ponytail when it’s a bit more oily.

If you have greasy hair, avoid directly conditioning roots and condition from your ear down to ends.

Layer Different Kind of Moisturizers
For dry winter skin, sometimes one cream can’t do it all. Layering moisturizers with face oils can pe*****te and soften skin more. First, layer a face oil that you know won’t make you break out, then a cream moisturizer, then a balm on top.

Eat and Drink for Healthy Skin
The food you eat not only affects your energy, it also affects your skin. Choose fresh, whole foods — the less processed, the better — and you’ll see changes in your skin tone and complexion.

Start from the Inside
Makeup isn’t magic. Beauty comes from the inside out, so no matter how good your moisturizer and foundation are, the best base for looking good is eating healthy food, exercising and taking care of yourself.

Try a DIY for Natural Beauty
Not willing (or able) to spend a ton of money on a natural alternative that you just aren’t sure about? Why not do-it-yourself?

Clean up Your Makeup Routine
Makeup is one of the biggest chemical offenders. From fragrance to petroleum, there are thousands of chemicals used in commercial beauty products. However, I also find that makeup is one of the hardest things to switch to natural alternatives.

Back to the Basics
This one might be hard for some people. However, it may be the MOST important tip on this list: identify the products you use everyday. Toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, soap/body wash, makeup, and whatever else you use daily.
