Imagine what
you would do if you knew miracle working beauty secrets. And what you would do
if you had the self confidence that comes with being beautiful. No need to
imagine any more, read this article and turn your dreams into reality.
Imagine what you would do if you knew miracle working beauty
secrets. And if you had the self confidence that comes with being beautiful.
Now before you laugh and say you’ll never be beautiful, listen up.
I know where you’re coming from! At one time I didn’t know any beauty
secrets. Before I learned any beauty secrets I was plain, even bordering on
ugly.
I had acne, chapped lips, weight issues, wardrobe disasters, and not so white
teeth. But that’s all become past with the 5 beauty secrets that have changed
my life.
I pulled through all of my beauty nightmares and learned some valuable beauty
secrets as a result.
Now people are always commenting to me on my beauty. Saying I should be a model,
etc.... And guys are no longer even an issue! I don’t have to look for them,
they come to me.
It turns out the best beauty secrets are those that are won by personal
knowledge and experience. Not just by reading general tips in magazines.
So by experimentation over the years and by perseverance, I’ve found out what
really works and what doesn’t.
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).
Put these beauty secrets to use, and start seeing the benefits today. Be sure to
read Part 2 of this article, which contains the last 2 beauty secrets.
In Part 2 I’ll teach you the beauty secrets for whitening your smile without
draining your bank account. And how to use clothes to your advantage by hiding
figure flaws and defects.

Beauty issues can stress out a growing girl
coping with hormonal changes, pimply skin and growing breasts. Answer your
daughter's many questions, clear her doubts and her blossom into a beautiful and
confident young woman.
Teenage
years are tough, especially if you have a young daughter. This is the time when
she experiences too many changes both bodily and emotionally. This is when she
grapples with academic pressure. There is also peer pressure to look good and
appear 'with it' and to belong. There will be times when she will feel that she
isn't attractive enough, her nose is too long, her hair too short and her hips
too huge. This can cause great damage to her self-esteem and crush her. While
you nourish her talent, shower her with love and point out that she's a
wonderful, lovable human being with a lot of blessings to be thankful for, you
could help her with her appearance with the tricks only you know.
A growing girl can rely on her mother to help her develop into a strong woman
with a good self-image. With growing consciousness about womanhood and
femininity, your young daughter will feel the need to look good. As a mother you
play a key role in helping her develop her sense of style and beauty. As she
grows, hormonal imbalances will give rise to skin problems and other beauty
hassles.
TALK TO HER ABOUT THE PHYSICAL CHANGES
By the time your daughter is 12, she will start noticing the changes in her
body. She would feel herself growing and be conscious of body hair. She may
notice her arms and legs becoming bigger, breasts growing and the waist becoming
slimmer. Instead of making her feel that she needs to hide herself, you need to
make her feel proud of her growing femininity during this awkward phase.
With her breasts developing, ease her into wearing a bra. Today, there exist
many brands that make bras specifically for growing girls. Help her choose the
right bra from those ranges. Let her tryout various styles that will give her
the right support and avoid sagging in future. Be sure that it sits comfortably
on her when she is trying out the bras. The fit should be smooth and not too
tight. Do not buy a bra that puckers or squeezes her breasts, leaving bulges of
flesh poking out around the sides.
HELP HER WITH SKIN CARE
According to beauty and skin care experts and even dermatologists, by the time
girls become 12-13 years old, it is important to inculcate a good skincare
regime. Since girls enter puberty and menstruate by this age, their skin
experiences many ups and downs. A good skin care regime at this age will make
sure she has clear blemish-free skin as she grows into adulthood.
With the onslaught of hormonal changes, there is extra secretion of sebum in
young skin, which makes it oilier. So girls with normal skin experience
oiliness, dry skin can give rise to T-Zone and oily skin can experience
eruptions and significant breakouts.
The first step to starting a skin care regime is with the cleanser. The right
cleanser can balance the oil production in the skin and wash away dirt and
grime, the key culprit behind the outbreak of acne. Research shows that more
than an oily diet or stress, pollutants in the environment and dirt give rise to
pimples as they clog the pores.
To fight regular oiliness, give your daughter a soap-free foaming cleanser. Make
sure that this cleanser does not strip her skin of too much oil, which can
actually trigger an increase in sebum production. If her skin feels sensitive,
then an oil-control cleansing cream is a better option. If she has acne-prone
skin, consider washes that contain salicylic acid to control oil production.
Look for medicated face cleansers that have benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid
to treat pimples or glycolic acid to rid skin of dead skin cells. If your
daughter suffers from excessively greasy skin, then give her an alcohol-free
toner that will close and tighten her pores. And in no condition should she
squeeze her pimples or zits that can lead to permanent scarring of the skin.
Post-toning, teach her to protect her skin with a gel-based sunscreen. This will
protect her skin from pollutants as well as the sun's harmful rays, which can
exacerbate oil production
and, in turn, acne. Look for a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 in it. At night,
ask her to use a light oil-free moisturiser to keep it soft and avoid dry
flakes. A light moisturiser will do; she does not need separate creams for eyes.
Stop her, if she wants to bleach her skin, since it can hurt existing pimples
and cause damage to the young skin.
You can give her homemade masks once in 15 days to cleanse the skin from inside.
A mask made of sandalwood and milk or yoghurt is gentle on young skin. Do not
buy her cosmetic masks, as they are meant for more mature skin. Encourage her to
drink a lot of water, as this washes out toxins from inside. Give her, her daily
dose of fresh fruits and vegetables that supply the skin with nutrients and help
the body develop well.
INTRODUCE HER TO MAKE-UP
With today's increasing exposure to international fashion and beauty trends,
girls are becoming conscious of make-up at a younger age than the earlier
generation. In fact, many want to start using make-up earlier than you would
like or approve. Since teenage years are when girls tend to revolt against
restrictions, it is a good idea to let her have a few good quality make-up
products. While you can be strict about the no-makeup rule with 12-14-year-olds,
by the time they turn 15, you may find yourself giving in to their demands. Let
them use a nude lip gloss and maybe beige eye shadow.
She can use these when going out with friends or to a party, but make sure she
is clean-faced when boarding the school bus. Emphasise on the beauty of natural
skin colour and complexion; make her feel good about her fresh looks. A bit of
encouragement about her beauty will not only get her on your side but help in
building her self-esteem as well. In fact, she will appreciate it if you
initiate her into the world of make-up with the gift of a make-up product. Be
her guide, when she goes shopping for make-up. For a 16-year-old, 3-4 make-up
items are ideal to own. A pearly or creamy lipstick or a clear lip gloss,
translucent powder, clear mascara, a two-in-one powder (that works as blush and
eye shadow) is enough for her make-up bag. When it comes to colours, sheer
colours are ideal for teenage girls. A red lipstick or the smoky-eyed look is a
strict no-no.
They are for mature women; make her see that. According to make-up artist Bobbi
Brown who recently wrote her book on teen beauty, dark make-up is a definite
no-no. Young girls, especially the ones starting college, look best with sheer
colours. Help your daughter choose a lipstick with pink or peach undertones.
Pinkish nudes are ideal for young girls; while they play up the skin tone, they
are subtle enough to look natural. The idea is to help her enhance her natural
complexion rather than hide flaws. This is the time when due to hyperactive
hormones and acne outbreaks, young girls may have blemishes that they may want
to hide when going to college. Teach her to use a stick foundation and a light
dust of powder to hide her blemishes. Your daughter may be using braces; they
tend to dry the lips; so encourage her to use a tinted lip balm that will add
soft colour to her lips while keeping them moisturised.
When they reach 16 or 17, many girls, will want to shape their eyebrows or be
worried about body hair. While you can hold her back on eyebrows till she
finishes school, encourage her to keep her underarms clean by waxing the area or
using a good hair remover for sensitive skin. If you feel your daughter has
excessive body hair, she can start with waxing her legs at around 16. Maybe you
can relent before her farewell from high school and let her get her eyebrows
done and arms and legs waxed.
TELL HER ABOUT INNER BEAUTY
During the teen years, skin breakouts, changes in complexion, blemishes, the
changing body shape and menstruation can make your young girl go into a state of
stress. You may find her trying to battle these changes or developing low
self-esteem about her looks. She may feel ugly, awkward and unattractive.
Combined with this is peer pressure, where other girls might stress her out with
different versions of what is ideal for her age.
As a mother, your role in helping her develop a strong self-image becomes
essential. You will need to spend some quality time and talk to her. Explain the
changes that will make her a beautiful woman. How you treat her growing body
will eventually develop her self-image. Make her feel loved and appreciated
through this phase of change. Go with her every step to make her see herself in
a positive light. Finally, stress that she is beautiful for what she is and not
just how she looks. With this little help from you, your young daughter is bound
to grow into a beautiful young woman.

Isn't
it true that when you want to change your look surprisingly and dramatically you
change your hair? Coloring your hair always gives you a new look. Here's my
advice on how to choose the right dye for your hair.
So you decide to color your hair. You are positive about the change and well
prepared to see your new look. First you have to decide on the dye you are going
to use. I will leave the color choice up to you. I will just mention that there
are permanent dyes and not-so-permanent ones and each type has its variations.
There's also a third type of hair dyes. The vegetable dyes which are made out of
natural ingredients and which are highly recommended. Vegetable dyes are similar
to henna and belong to the not-so-permanent types of dyes.
Ok, you are ready to color your hair. Before you proceed you need to know what
coloring method to choose depending on your hair style. Your new hair color must
look good with your skin color/type. For example if your skin is light, you
won’t look good with very dark hair because you don't want your hair to draw
the color out of your skin.
If you decide to be blonde then never attempt to color your hair alone the first
time. It's better to take some advice from an expert/stylist or leave him/her do
the job for you, especially if your hair has been permanently tinted.
If you decide you should have the secretsy red hair, then you should know that
red color really draws attention. It should be painless except if you are blonde
in which case you should go at least two shades darker than your natural hair
color in order to have a successful coloring result.
If you choose the good-old brown colors and wanna be a brunette then you should
know that this is your safest choice. Brown colors will fit almost any skin/hair
type. You can achieve all sorts of looks by using combinations of shades.
Last but not least. Black color. It will give you a dark/goth look. If you
decide to color your hair black then you should know its the easiest color to
apply to your hair. It will usually cover all hair types easily and effectively.
Just make sure black colors look good with the rest of your face and will add to
your skin, since black hair usually looks good on dark-skinned people only.

You want to have smooth and silky sedu hairstyle,
but afraid of the damage from the hair brushing? Find all Dos and Don’ts of
hair Brushing in Sedu Hairstyles.
Hair
brush is one of the most essential tools every person, man or woman, should
have. Hair brush helps dealing with tangles and bed hair look; to some extend it
even solves the problem of hair styling.
But the greatest thing that can be done with a hair brush is keeping our hair
naturally moisturized as you transfer natural skin oil from the roots to the
tips of the hair when brushing.
To help your hair grow healthy and shiny, you should brush your hair every day
with careful gentle strokes that decrease the friction and smooth the hair
scales. Harsh and rough brushing will only increase the damage to your hair.
Moreover, such brushing increases the amount of pulled out hairs in two times.
The use of proper hair brush is essential for sedu hairstyles as it helps to
avoid unnecessary damage, eliminates static electricity, and adds shine and
smoothness to the hair. There are several hair brushes that should be at hand
when creating and maintaining your sedu hairstyles:
1. Wide-toothed comb for detangling hair after and before washing. Every time
you are preparing to wash your hair you should make a detangling first. This
will help you lessen the risk of mechanical damage during washing and make the
after-washing detangling easier, thus eliminating more mechanical damage. Such
combs should be of antistatic material, so read labels carefully and make sure
you won’t harm your hair with poor quality product.
2. Fine-toothed tailed comb for styling. You should use this comb when making
heat straightening using a flat iron. Just follow the flat iron with
fine-toothed comb to make sure that there are no tangles and frizz left in your
hair after straightening. The tail of the comb will be handy in creating prom
hair styles and dividing hair in separate tresses for straightening;
3. Massaging wooden hair brush that will help you to massage scalp after you
detangled the hair and are preparing to sleep. Usage of this brush at least
twice a week will help you increase the blood circulation in the scalp and
improve the state of the hair cuticle after a couple of months of usage;
4. Boar bristle round brush for styling. This hair brush is a must for short to
medium hair styles. It helps to obtain neat and sleek hairstyle. Boar bristles
eliminate frizz and add shine to your hair;
5. Ceramic styling hair brush is good for medium to long hair styles because it
helps to manage long hair and eliminate static electricity. You will be even
able to create soft waves that will frame your face and make it look gorgeous.
The above mentioned hair combs and brushes should be of high quality so that
your hair won’t suffer from the harmful materials and faulty workmanship. It
is also recommended to wash combs with warm water at least once in two months in
order to eliminate product built up.
To make correct brushing, follow these simple rules:
1. Before washing the hair, use a wide-toothed comb. If you have a long hair,
start from the tips and move gently to the top of the hair. Do not pull the hair
or comb too energetically, or you will lose healthy and mature hairs that hold
firmly in your scalp. If your hair style is short just move brush through the
hair from roots to the tips to eliminate frizz and arrange your hair before
washing;
2. After washing DO NOT brush the hair while it is still wet. The hair should be
at least dump when you start to detangle it, or you are sure to lose more
healthy hairs. Do not be afraid to see hairs on the brush as long as you don’t
feel any pain from their pulling off. It is a natural process of hair growth
when up to 100 hairs are falling out every day to spare the place for new and
young hair.
3. If you are using blow dryer quite often, you should use round brushes of 100
per cent boar bristle for styling of the short hair, and ceramic round brushes
for styling of the long hair. Such brushes will make it easier for you to style
the hair, add shine to your hair, and help you to arrange the hair into any
style from spikes to soft sedu waves.
4. If you are using a flat iron, you should start straightening from the bottom
of the hair. Separate the bottom layer of the hair from the top layers, and pin
up the top layers using tail of the fine-toothed comb. Straighten the bottom
layer of the hair, and proceed with the upper layers until you are finished.
Every time you apply flat iron to the separate tresses follow the flat iron with
the comb to make sure that there are no tangles left.
5. Before going to bed, apply massaging brush. Detangle the hair first, and then
gently brush the hair, especially the root area to improve blood circulation and
allow your head to relax after the long day of styled hair. You will see
positive results of such technique just after a couple of months. Your hair will
look healthier and shinier, your scalp will receive more nourishment through
improved blood circulation, and if you have problems with hair falling out, they
will be diminished.
So, hair brushing is the separate science, and knowledge of its rules will help
you decrease the amount of money you spend on hair care products. Moreover, the
state of your hair health will improve dramatically and your hairstyle will
receive the status of the Sedu hairstyle because of the natural shine and
smoothness of your hair.
