Beauty secrets

[Bell]

I thought it would be good if we have a topic where we can share our experience with skin & hair problems and how we cope with them. For example, my face is a little oily and I treat it with the white of egg every 7-10 days. I also found out that sugar makes very good scrub. Your turn now. I really hope each one of us will be able to find something useful here.

I guess beauty tips for men are also allowed here.

 

Well, not really a beauty tip, but when I shaved with foam and used after shave, my face would become sooo irritated, that I thought about not using that anymore. What I do now is to shave in the shower, and instead of foam I use shower gel. At first it was difficult because of course the mirror would get blurry, but with years of practice, I don't need to look at my face while shaving. And bye to the rash, red face, and I cut myself even less than when I did it with foam.

• Yes, of course, beauty tips for everyone are welcomed here!

Very cool topic!

 

I have a tip for guys and girls: for bags under your eyes, instead of cucumber, wet rooibos tea bags and put them on your eyes.

Thanks! I've also tried it once when my eyes were super tired and it really works!

BTW, I don't smoke but I drink 2 or 3 cups of coffee every day and my teeth get a little...yellow (well, there could be another reason but I think it's the coffee). BUT my dentist has told me that I shouldn't use whitening toothpaste because of my gums problem. What else could I possibly do?

For girls who like to wear eyeshadow but don't like it gumming up in the creases by the end of the day, those eyelid primers really work. I use one by e.l.f. that I like a lot. I just put on a thin layer and then wait a few minutes before applying eyeshadow.

Another good one is Urban Decay's 'Primer Potion' - it's amazing!

 

 

Also, ladies - if you want to make your eyebrows slightly more defined - rather than using an eyebrow pencil use a MATTE eyeshadow with a small angled brush like the Mac 266. Looks more natural unlike using a pencil which can gives you a 'drawn on' look.
