Beauty tips, we all have them. But are we sure they are good? We are trying to get back on track with 12 make-up tips and loose care. For those who already know them, well done! For those who are lost in the whirlwind of beauty, these simple and effective beauty tips could quickly become your bare minimum to display beautiful skin and a fresh complexion. Follow the guide!
1. Eliminate excess sebum
It is the basis for displaying beautiful skin on a daily basis and eliminating sebum and other impurities which cloud the complexion: good facial cleansing. For this, arm yourself with a good cleanser for clear skin! Be careful to choose it according to your skin type, oily skin will not have the same needs as dry skin for example. You can perfect your cleaning routine by applying a small lotion to remove lime from the water. Finally, do not forget to make a small scrub once a week to remove dead cells.
2. To avoid dark circles, take into account the blood circulation
Now that we have perfectly cleansed skin, let's move on to the "hydration" phase. An essential step whether you wear makeup or not. We start by taking care of the eye area. But beware, not just how! We agree we are used to applying our serum or eye cream by massaging the eyes from the inside to the outside (right?). However serious error, if one wants to be effective in a dark circle or a morning pocket, it is better to respect the lymphatic paths.
Indeed, these nasty problems are the result of poor blood circulation, and not following the right path to stimulate the energy of the eye area consists of more or less of doing nothing. And we, overworked women, really don't need that. So now, with the index finger, we perform a mini-drainage by gently massaging the skin with small pressures in circular motions (and not by stretching so as not to crease the skin and facilitate the appearance of wrinkles), a ten times from the outer corner to the inner corner of the eye. Then we do the same thing all around the orbit.
3. Apply care from the bottom up
Always hydration but with the rest of the face. And here is a little simple tip that is important when you apply your moisturizer: the best is to avoid pushing your face down (it already does it very well on its own). It is a matter of weightlessness. To moisturize the skin of your face with your day cream, you start from the neck to go up to the forehead, and from the center of the face to the top of the cheekbones. Guaranteed push-up effect. A small step for us, a big step to challenge the laws of gravity.
And of course, before applying your treatment, you choose it well. For example, if you have normal to combination skin, opt for a light treatment that is not too rich and will provide you with sufficient hydration on a daily basis without lubricating the skin. Our favorite: the light, moisturizing treatment REhydrate Eau Thermale Jonzac. With its non-comedogenic formula, hypoallergenic and enriched in vegetable glycerin, this cream brings the right dose of hydration to the skin on a daily basis and helps to slow the evaporation of water in the face of external aggressions.
4. Leave your face moisturizer away from the eye area
Another beauty tip for applying your cream: be careful to avoid the entire area surrounding the eye. Why? Because our moisturizer is far too heavy in water for this fragile area. The skin around the contour is so thin that it absorbs everything in excess. And who says too much water, says swelling skin, says the appearance of puffiness. It is in particular for this reason that there are treatments specifically adapted to this area (no, it's not just marketing).
5. The peel to get a new look
Do you know to peel? It is a technique of "peeling" the skin. Yes, you read correctly! The peel burns a thin part of the skin with acid in order to renew the upper layers of the epidermis. Obviously, this technique is exclusively practiced by specialists. Allowing to remove many of our little "imperfections", the peel is also ideal for getting rid of wrinkles. A somewhat miracle technique that costs between 150 and 500 euros.
Fortunately for our wallet, cosmetics got involved. Now the peelies also accessible to everyone thanks to beauty products at a more affordable price. However, the formulas are less concentrated and the peel is, therefore, a little less effective in erasing fine lines and wrinkles.
6. Apply your foundation with your hands
Now that you have beautiful, perfectly clean and hydrated skin, it's time to make up. Again, there are some tips to know to display a perfect complexion. Whether you choose a fluid foundation or tinted cream, the same fight: stop with brushes, you go with your fingers. Why? Because the hands are "warming" and allow the molecules of the product to work together. The material is ideally warmed, the result it melts better on the skin and the effect is much more natural. Of course, we do not forget to wash our hands thoroughly before and after.
7. Add some drop of serum to the foundation
Another piece of advice for working on your complexion, which comes directly from a beauty specialist. To fluidize your foundation, give it a more natural look and give us a nice glow in the process, add a drop of serum in the palm of your hand before applying it. Goodbye, the plaster effect and too much makeup. It was Tom Pecheux, the star makeup artist, who whispered it to us at the turn of a parade backstage.
#BonusBoard: When you are tired, you avoid trying to hide it by forcing on the foundation. It just mummifies the face even more. So we rather calm the game by applying a drop of fluid foundation only on the axis of the face (we create a vertical line from the forehead to the chin) before stretching everything outwards.
8. Apply concealer correctly
Beauty tip # 1: Take it easy. Why? Because the concealer is more of a highlighter than a real camouflage tool. He plays with light to create a kind of optical effect but his power is limited. When you really have dark circles under your eyes, it is better to go to sleep. Concealer won't do anything.
Beauty tip n ° 2: To put it on, you tap with your finger to avoid ending up with a big mark and new folds under the eye. It is applied "in a triangle" starting with small dotted lines from the inner corner of the eye, going straight down to the level of the bottom of the nose and going up diagonally to the outer corner of the eye. We spread without leaving the triangle and avoiding
9. To awaken your gaze, think of a pencil
After a night of madness, to arrive fresh at the office, apply a line of a pencil to the inside of the eye before blurring slightly on the eyelids to erase the little redness (shame). Guaranteed boost for the eyes!
10. Exfoliate your lips
When we talk about exfoliating, we are not talking about removing the pumice stone. You should know that the skin of the lips is 5 times thinner than the rest of the face. An ultra-sensitive area, therefore, must be taken very carefully. To make it very soft, it must be rid of its dead skin (from time to time), and moisturize it intensely (all the time). We give ourselves a little massage with specific gentle exfoliators (a little honey and sugar, it also works), and we can take advantage of the night to offer him a mask with an ultra-hydrating, nourishing, plumping balm. .. To wake up with baby pink lips.
11. To remove imperfections, put away your fingers
It's true that tiny pimples, blackheads aren't a gorgeous effect on our face. how to get rid off? But back ugly nails and other blackhead removers! Better not to touch them and treat them gently. Why? Because piercing them would only slow their disappearance. It's the best way to make the infection worse and end up with an ugly brand. Basically, it's like waking up a sleeping volcano.
We will avoid, and rather get down to finding the right astringent lotion (the best for tightening pores, drying out imperfections and unifying the complexion), removing make-up and cleansing gently morning and evening, and waiting a little bit. A little tip for homemade enthusiasts, you can also remove an unsightly little button by applying a mixture of water + baking soda on the junk. Leave on for a few minutes to dry it. Let's avoid making our skin an enemy, it will return it to us!
12. Sweating
Sleeping to have more beautiful skin, we knew that. But isn't playing sports paradoxical? Not that much ... Quite simply because sweating means removing stress as well as all the toxins that clog up and tire our body through the pores. Simply put, by boosting perspiration, the skin "self-cleans" and eliminates impurities and dead cells, while improving microcirculation for better irrigation and better nutrition of skin tissue.
The skin is better hydrated, more supple, clearer, smoother, sharper ... all in all radiant. In addition, it is valid for the whole body. For lazy people, take a trip to the hammam or sauna from time to time, and voila.
The best recipe: 40 minutes of running (at the supermarket that doesn't count) + a 15-minute hammam. Without forgetting to drink a lot.
