About Face Skin Care

Bright Eyes Beauty Trick

Adding some brightness to your eyes can help awaken the entire face. For instantly brighter eyes, dab a light colored shimmery or luminescent powder into the inner corners of your eyes.

If you have dark circles, it’s best to use a warmer color like gold instead of white or rose to combat darkness. Also remember that it’s better to use a shimmery rather than sparkly shade, as sparkles are too loud and obvious for such a subtle, bright look.

Your Skin

Moisturizer:
When applied on the face or body, coconut oil works as an all-natural moisturizer that replenishes the skin's natural oils.

Soothing Balm:
Whether applied topically or ingested in precise amounts, it helps to minimize outbreaks and irritation.

Anti-Aging Wonder:
Filled with antioxidants that ward off free radicals, it'll help slow the aging process while keeping your skin hydrated—making you soft, supple, and glowing.

Cuticle Oil:
Not only will the oil strengthen your nails, but it will also help remedy damaged cuticles and help with foot hygiene (it's an anti-fungal).

Your Smile

Whitener:
Oil pulling, which is swishing coconut oil around in your mouth for several minutes, has been found to whiten teeth.

Decay Fighter:
When it comes to appearance, it's not just about the color of your teeth, but also their density over time. Because it's antibacterial, it helps ward off the plaque buildup that causes tooth decay in the first place.

Lip Moisturizer:
Chapped lips are not a good look. Whether oil pulling or using it as a lip balm, coconut oil nourishes for a soft pout free of cracks and flakes.

Red Wine as Anti-Aging

The choice is yours: Lower your calorie intake by a third or add antiaging resveratrol (from grape skins) to your regimen. Both send your body into survival mode, which can increase your lifespan and help maintain youthful-looking skin. But before you start drowning your liver in cabernet, know that the recommended 2500 mg per day requires 15 glasses of red wine.

Makeup Tips

The best way to make a makeup change is to choose the feature you get complimented on most, and play it up with a color that's the opposite of what you normally wear. Like neutrals? Go for color. Like color? Try earth tones.

Luminous skin

For a modern take on luminous skin, try pearlized pink-sand shades on lids and cheeks. With a pale matte mouth, you'll look rock-club cool (not disco).

Olive Oil

Olive oil is a great cure for all things dry. For soft cuticles, place your fingers in a bowl of warm olive oil. Olive oil is also a great way to remove waterproof mascara.Put a few drops on a cotton ball and smooth over closed eyes.

Waxing Tips

When waxing at home, apply tooth-numbing cream in the area you plan to wax about half an hour prior to your session. It will temporarily numb the skin, making the experience a little less painful.

Eye Shadow

To keep eye shadow from creasing, eliminate as much oil as possible from your lids. To do it, use an eye shadow base or pressed powder before applying color.

Dramatic Eye

If you're looking for a dramatic eye, try liquid eyeliner. Choose an eyeliner brush that's small with angled bristles for a cleaner line.

Flawless Skin

For flawless skin choose a cleanser and moisturizer appropriate for your skin type that you can use a.m. and p.m., and then supplement it weekly with a purifying face mask. You should also consider using a nightly skin treatment that exfoliates dead skin cells.

Overzealous tweezing

Overzealous tweezing can lead to emaciated brows and bald patches, where hair only grows back irregularly. Use a protein-spiked brow gel to stimulate healthy growth and brow fillers to shade in problem areas.
