8 Essentials to Timeless Beauty
By FeLicia Carswell
1. Cleanse your hair on a regular basis - Keeping the hair moisturized is important.
Hair
that moves freely and has a natural shine looks healthy, regardless of style or texture. Check out WEN by
Chaz Dean Hair Care starting at $29.95 www.wen.com
2. Drink water - Water does wonders.
It hydrates the body from the inside out and con-
tributes to healthy and younger looking skin. Make a habit of drinking water at half your
body weight in ounces.
3. Keep it simple -
Unless you are a makeup artist, keep your makeup simple. Even out your skin tone,
shape your brows, line your upper lash line with eyeliner, put mascara on your
lashes and never leave home without something on your lips. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. I can’t say it enough. Dry, cracked lips are not appealing.
Select colors close to your natural lip color. My favorites are Mary Kay Cosmetics Au Naturel for $14 and Tarte Blushing Bride for $16. Tart has many neutral and pink tones from which to choose.
4. Take care of the pearly whites - Be sure to schedule your dental checkups every 6 months.
Studies have shown proper oral hygiene will help keep your heart healthy.
5. The right fit flatters -
Proper fitting undergarments will aid in your clothing looking and fitting
better. If they match it’s an added bonus. You’ll feel better, trust me. Check your local Macy’s, JC Penny
and Nordstrom for a complimentary bra fitting.
6. Manicures make a difference -
A simple, yet essential part of presenting a polished total
package is found at your finger tips. Take time and pay attention to your fingers and nails. Make it a habit to nurture and provide your nails with TLC often. If you have the great fortune to have your manicures
done professionally, that’s great, but don’t let money become a factor. A basic fingernail file, clippers
and clear nail polish are a few vital tools that every girl and woman should have. File and shape your nails
the same length, and NEVER EVER wear chipped nail polish.
7. Pedicure - Don’t wait until the warm weather before you take some extra time
car-
ing for your feet. A weekly Do It Yourself (DIY) pedicure will do the trick.
8. Smile -
There is one attribute that is absolutely FREE but adds great value to you and
those you are around. It’s a friendly, genuine smile which is truly timeless .
