10 BEAUTY TIPS FOR ALL SKIN TYPES!

When it comes to beauty, everybody has their two cents, which in some cases are awesome. Every woman has her own tip to do “this”, and a easier way to do “that” so why not share the goods! Everyone thinks they have the best beauty tips, but I have been doing my research!

On a recent trip to my grandmother’s house, it seems as though she tore me apart about things I honestly pay no attention to…like my elbows. But all is well, it was said out of love, and not disrespect. So I decided to share some of the awesome beauty tips she shared with me.

10. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER

Knock out those glasses of water, I promise you won’t be disappointed. I hated drinking water, but now, I notice that not only does my skin feel better, my body feels better! Drinking water helps with your hydration, which helps your skin stay moisturized and glowing, boosts your metabolism, and keeps your energy levels up.

9. LOVE YOUR FEET

I know I don’t have time to go get a pedicure every week or two, so to prevent dead-skin pileup I use a pumice stone in the shower. But it doesn’t end in the shower. I put vaseline on my feet when I step out of the shower, and put socks on. This helps my feet stay smooth and soft. You never know when you may get that unexpected foot rub. 🙂

8.BROW LOVE

Your eyebrows are the focal point of your face. So if you have no time to do your makeup, focus on your eyebrows. However, keep your brow fill-in very light, if you’re in a rush, it gives you a more natural look. I promise, filling in you’re brows is the fastest way to look pulled together. 

7. USE YOUR PRIMER

My grandma told me “Not to prime is a crime!” I didn’t understand, until I went shopping with my makeup artist friend, who went to a select store for her primer. I bought the same primer, and it instantly made my skin smooth, helped my makeup adhere and keep my face looking matte instead of shiny, and I suffer from oily skin.

6. YOUR NECK NEEDS MOISTURE TOO

This was something my grandmother stressed to me. She told me to take care of my neck.  So now I always moisturize my neck with cocoa butter in the day, and vaseline before bed. (By the way, I love vaseline!) 

5. EXFOLIATE YOUR LIPS

There isn’t anything sexy about dry, flaky, or chapped lips. The best way to combat dry lips, it to apply vaseline to your lips, then using a toothbrush or clean mascara wand, scrub your lips, just remember to not be too rough. Afterwards, use a tissue to wipe away excess flakes and voila! You now have the sexiest lips on the block!

4. DON’T NEGLECT YOUR ELBOWS

Just like your neck, it’s easy to forget about your elbows too. But your elbows need just as much protection and care as other parts of your body. Cure dry elbows by wiping them down with an antiseptic, this will help remove dirt, and turn your elbows back to their original color. Then massage Bio-Oil, or vaseline onto them daily. You’ll see and feel cleaner, and softer elbows in at least two days.

3. APPLY SUNSCREEN DAILY

Wear sunscreen every day, rain or shine. Even when it’s cloudy. This will definitely help with your skin’s aging process. Find an unscented sunscreen if you don’t want to smell like sunscreen, and find one with a shimmer if you want to add that extra sexy.

2. CLEAN YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES

It’s amazing how much gunk you’ll find in your makeup brushes, so it is imperative that you make sure you clean your brushes regularly to avoid a buildup of makeup residue and bacteria. You can purchase makeup brush cleaner from a drug or beauty store. 

1. SMILE

Your smile is beautiful, so wear it proudly!
