Beauty is different for each of us, depending on what each of us perceives as beautiful. For all that, there must be a universal definition for what we define as beautiful in another person. An appearance of health and vitality, healthy, shiny hair, a glowing skin, bright, clear eyes and symmetrical features are all attributes that contribute to a more beautiful you.
It is, however, difficult to project self confidence if you do not feel beautiful on the inside. Cultivating a strong sense of self confidence and a sense of self worth is all integral to feeling beautiful and a sure fire way to begin to feel beautiful is to take extra care and attention with your cleansing regime. Switch to a healthy diet, start taking some light exercise and start focusing on an overall self-care routine that pampers your indulgent side.
It is said that loveliness is skin deep, but truly, attractiveness begins with the proper care of the skin. Our skin is exposed to the elements, to the damaging effects of the sun, the drying effects of the wind and the varying temperatures of the seasons. Toxins in our diets can clog our pores, dry out our skins and make us lose our youthful glow before our due time.
You are what you eat and no mistake can be made by adding a more vegetables and fruits to your daily meal plan. Water is life and our bodies need a minimum of two litres of water every day to function properly. Water flushes out the toxins in our bodies and aid the kidneys to purify our systems. Dehydration is also a leading cause of the deterioration of our skins and be sure that you are not using a harsh soap that is drying the skin too much. Use a gentle cleanser on your facial area as soaps are usually too harsh.
A variety of toners designed to suit your skin type are available on the market. These are applied after cleansing to remove excess cleanser and to tighten the pores. Remember to use products designed to suit your skin, keeping in mind that dry skin has different needs to oily skin.
Using a moisturizer is an important cornerstone to any cleansing regime and if you want to retain a youthful, healthy glow it is imperative that you invest in a quality moisturizer designed to suit your skin. Wear sunscreen daily to protect you from damaging UV light and repeat the cleanse, tone, moisturize routine in the evening, applying a good quality moisturizer intended for night wear.
Eye firming creams are a good addition to any beauty routine and ensure that the extremely delicate skin around the eye area remains smooth and plumped. While focusing on the eye area it is relevant to note that you should invest in a high quality make up remover. A hypo-allergenic eye makeup remover is best as it is less likely to irritate the delicate eye area.
Do not forget to cleanse, tone and moisturize the delicate neck and decolletage area during your beauty regime. Take extra care to moisturize all parts exposed to the elements and harmful UV rays. The hands and arms especially should be lathered with a good quality sunscreen when going outdoors. Remember to use an exfoliating scrub for face and body twice a week.
There are many steps that can be taken to remain youthful and radiant. Hair removal, exercise, skin care, hair care and a trip to the beauty salon can all help this process.
