How to Take Flawless Care of Your Self

Have you had one of those days where you feel unattractive? This will teach you how to achieve a great looking and feeling you.
Here are Some Steps to Follow.
Steps :

1. Cleanse your face regularly. Be sure to moisturize. Keep makeup simple, like you’re not wearing anything.

2. Brush your teeth for at least two minutes twice a day. Brush your teeth in a circular motion, and make sure you are using a soft bristled brush. Also make sure to brush or scrape your tongue; germs that cause bad breath can be trapped.

3. Stay healthy. Health is vital to beauty. Have a balanced diet, keeping junk food for special occasion. Exercise regularly.
4. Your clothes should match you. Make sure that what you wear matches your figure and coloring. Wear what your style is, not just what everybody else wears! Same goes for hair. Wash your hair regularly. Switch up your hairstyles—keep people guessing!

5. Take care of your hands and feet. Exfoliate regularly, and use lotion. Nail polish is a fun way to make your hands and feet stand out, if you want. One popular and classy type is the French manicure.

6. Be optimistic. Don’t be over optimistic, but don’t be negative either. Make sure you stay bright most of the time. Remember, you only have one life. Finding what you do best might take a while. So, enter after-school activities, clubs, or just do what you love doing.

7. Be kind. While you should be confident, remember that jerks and snobs are not flawless. Go out of your way to give other people compliments. You’ll likely be repayed with the same treatment.

8. Stay fit. Not only does frequent exercise and healthy eating pay off in looks, but it will improve your mood as well. Try and get at least 20 minutes of exercise a day.

Tips:

Do anything that matches and flatters you. Treat other people with kindness and you’ll make friends easily.

Warnings:

Make sure you never act “show-offy” as this can give the wrong impression to other people.

Guide on How to Wash Your Makeup Brushes

Dirty makeup brushes are exactly that—dirty. They transfer old makeup, germs, and bacteria each time you use them. Want to avoid this? Give them a weekly bath and they will be good as new.

Things You Will Need

Baby shampoo or mild hand soap
Warm water
Small towel
Olive oil (optional)
A jar to let the brushes dry in (optional)
Brush cleaner (optional if not using soap/shampoo and oil)

1. Run the bristles of the brushes under warm water. If you have bamboo handled brushes, take caution not to get the bamboo wet.

2. Put a drop of baby shampoo on the bristles. Put a heavy drop on for blush, foundation, and kabuki brushes, and small drops for concealer, eyeliner, and other small brushes.

3. Rub in the shampoo, gently, until you have a bit of a lather forming. Depending on the make up. you’ve used, the lather may be a bit colourful. Create a nice lather, and make sure you get to almost every bristle. Try to avoid distorting the shape of the brush. Be careful not to get shampoo in the ferrule, or the metal part that holds the bristles and the handle together.

4. Rinse thoroughly. Rinse until there is no more visible lather, and keep rinsing. Get into the middle of the bristles, not just the outside.

5. Blot the brushes dry on a towel. Try not to change the natural shape of the bristles. It may seem fun to fan them out as far as possible, but that fun will end when you have a hole in your coverage.

6. Lay the brushes flat on a towel overnight. Rotate the brushes or flip them over after a few hours if you desire.

Tips:

• Wash your brushes, at most, weekly or biweekly.
• A mild hand soap or facial cleanser can be used instead of baby shampoo, although some hand soaps may irritate sensitive skin.
• When air drying the brushes, let them lay at a slight downward angle so that water will not pool where the bristles are gathered.
• Using conditioner on brushes with real hair will make them soft and keep the quality of the hair, but make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid sticky brushes.
• Try adding a bit of olive oil so your brush bristles do not dry out, but be careful and only add the smallest drop so your brushes don’t stay oily.
• Wash the brushes in warm, not hot water. Hot water can loosen/dissolve the glue holding the bristles together, making them fall out.

Warnings:

• Be gentle while washing your brushes to avoid the bristles changing shape or some falling out.
• If you are washing a kabuki brush, do not soak the handle, as it may loosen the glue that holds the hairs in place.
