best insider beauty secrets

Imagine what you would do if you knew miracle working beauty secrets. And if you had the self confidence that comes with being beautiful

Beauty Secret 1
Unchap and beautify your lips with this technique.
For soft, beautifully kissable lips, you need the following: a washcloth (I’m not kidding either), warm water, and your favorite brand of lip balm.First you apply a coat of lip balm. Then wet one corner of the washcloth, put the warm wet corner of the washcloth between your lips, press them together and hold for 5 seconds. Then gently massage any remaining lip balm from lips with the wet corner of the washcloth, and dry lips with a corner that’s dry.Apply lip balm again to keep your lips chap free. You may also apply lipstick or lip gloss on over the layer of lip balm.
I learned this was the best way to keep lips from chapping, after going through too many winters with dried, and chapped lips.

Beauty Secret 2
Clear your acne, and get beautiful skin.
For clear glowing skin, a little home remedy does wonders for my complexion, as it should with yours too.
Steam your face for 20 minutes every night after washing it, then every other night after steaming your face, massage a half teaspoon castor oil over face.Leave it on at night while you sleep and wash off immediately upon waking.Steam face for twenty more minutes in the morning after washing. When you finish steaming your face splash your face with cool water and dry it.If your skin starts to show any signs of a pimple forming. Take one night off from steaming and applying castor oil and apply Benzoyl Peroxide over face.Take the next night off also from the steaming, castor oil, and benzoyl peroxide. Continue facial regimen with steaming and castor oil the following night.This beauty secret will moisturize your face at the same time it will help clear up acne and pimples. But only if you work at it consistently.

Beauty Secret 3
Good taste in clothes.
When shopping for clothes try to stay away from really big prints, or weird mixes of colors (eg. green, pink and blue flowers combined on a white background, for instance).Clothes like these just scream "I’m color blind!" And if you in fact, actually are color blind, always shop with a friend who isn’t and has good taste in clothes.Buy basic colors. Solid reds, pinks, blues, whites, and blacks. Or things with small tasteful prints and designs.Then mix and match each basic color with a corresponding one (blue goes well with white, pink, and sometimes with red, and different shades of the same color almost always go well together).

Beauty Secret 4
Whiten and brighten your smile.
For this little beauty secret you use two household items that
are rock bottom cheap to buy; Baking Soda, and Peroxide.

Yep, thats how simple it is.

You take the baking soda and peroxide and you make a thick
paste out of them. You shouldn’t need more than a tablespoon of the paste. Apply the paste to teeth, and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes every morning and night.

The most effective way to do this, and brighten your smile, is
by brushing your teeth with the paste. Baking soda and peroxide will not only whiten your teeth but clean them too, if you use them in place of toothpaste. Then just sit back and watch the results!
Your smile will become visibly whiter, and to boot you’ll save a bundle on toothpaste, and teeth whiteners.

Hair Removal Tips

Hair removal can be broadly split into two different categories - those treatments you can do at home and those that require professional help. Many people use both, for example waxing their arms themselves but using an aesthetician to fix their bikini line. Treatments can also range from modern, like laser hair removal, to traditional, like threading.

Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is actually still a relatively young procedure, so the data are limited as to how long the removal lasts. But many people have reported wonderful results. As a guide, expect the removal to last at least a few months. Beyond that, it really depends on your body, what type of hair you have and other factors. Repeat visits may be necessary.


Although many different types of lasers and cooling systems are used now, the basic principle of laser hair removal remains the same. The laser emits a soft beam of light that goes through your skin and reaches the hair follicle. This beam quickly heats up and disables the follicle. The patient may feel some pain as this heat is transferred, but most laser hair removal teams use a cooling device to increase patient comfort during the procedure.

One thing to consider is that blonde or redhead individuals tend to have less success than dark-haired people. Laser hair removal can be very effective but its also more expensive than home techniques like waxing - about $200 for your legs for example. However, factor in the benefit of only having to do it twice a year and it starts to look very appealing!

Waxing
The technique that we all know and love (or maybe not!). Waxing has been used for centuries and is just as effective today as it has always been.

Pretty much everyone is familiar with waxing already, but there are a couple of pointers that are very important to remember. When pulling the strip of cloth away, make sure to pull against the direction of hair growth. This makes it easier and less painful to pull out the hair.


When pulling off the strip, be sure to pull parallel to the skin, rather than away from it. Again, this will make the process much less unpleasant. When you are done with the waxing, a small amount of olive oil will remove the excess wax as well as anything.

Waxing is very easy to do at home and is a good solution in that it reduces regrowth. Many people find that the hair grows back thinner and lighter in color. Compared to laser hair removal though, it has to be a much more frequent practice.

Threading
A popular method in Egypt and originating in Turkey, threading involves pulling out stray hairs using twists of cotton thread. It can be hard to find a practitioner sometimes outside of the large cities, but it is less painful that plucking and continues to be a popular treatment for many young European and Middle Eastern women.


The 'threader' creates a loop by holding the thread between her left hand, her right hand and her teeth. She then uses the loop to capture the stray hairs and pluck them out. It is inexpensive, fast and neat, but can sometimes lead to some temporary reddening of the skin

Electrolysis
Electrolysis is really the only alternative to laser hair removal when it comes to permanent solutions. It has actually been around for much longer, having been used safely for over 100 years, but requires considerable skill (and money) to do properly.

The electrolysis procedure involved poking a tiny electrode into each individul hair follicle, one at a time. A small electric shock is then delivered, which immediately kills the follicle. The skill comes in applying the needle correctly, which is why you should use only certified professionals.

Little tricks for prettier lips

If your lips are too thin and you wish they looked bigger, there is something you can do about it.

This is what you need to do in order to make your lips appear fuller:
Outline your lips with a light lip liner in a color that suits your skin tone.

Draw right on the top of your lips' natural line, don't go outside of it (this way you'll avoid the funny clown look). When you're done with the lip lining, it's time to apply lip color and/or high shine lip gloss.


You can use high shine lip color instead of lip gloss. To enhance the 3D effect of the lip gloss/ lip color, you can try to line your bottom lip with a lip liner that is 2-3 shades darker than the lip color. In general, darker lip liner creates that pouty look, so be careful with it.
