    Make-Up Tip for Foundation


    bobeck

    Many of us prefer to use a foundation as a base under our make-up to smooth out the skin tone and cover imperfections.  I do as well, but it always seems too heavy.  I just don’t like to wear heavy make-up (like I did in the 80’s when I practically shoveled it on). 

    To get light coverage that feels light, I mix a dab of foundation in the palm of my hand with a dab of my facial lotion and then apply it.  It lightens up the weight of the make-up and goes on very smooth.  It also shortens up my time in the bathroom.

    PitiCure (no, that’s not a typo)


    We’ve heard of manicures for your nails on your hands. We’ve heard of pedicures for our feet. Now they have PitiCures – it’s an underarm spa treatment for your pits!

    An exfoliating wipe or gentle body scrub is used to exfoliate your underarm area. Did you know you were supposed to exfoliate there? Supposedly it is to prevent bacterial growth (that “BO” smell) and ingrown hairs.

    This is supposed to be the next “big thing” in pampering yourself. I’m not sure I’d pay to have somebody else do that but it seems easy enough to do at home with a gentle body scrub.

    Perfect Skin Tips


    According to the July, 2009 issue of Ladies Home Journal, we may be using something in our daily beauty routine that is unnecessary.  It’s an item a lot of women use.  Toner!

    LHJ considers it old-fashioned and unnecessary.  My mother would NOT like to hear that but now I don’t feel so bad about forgetting to use it all the time.

    What you should do daily:

    1. Cleanse according to your skin type (2x/day unless you have sensitive skin).
    2. Use a moisturizing sunscreen. 
    3. Apply an anti-aging treatment before bed.

    This three step routine is considered effective.  If you want your skin to go a few extra miles, add an exfoliator to your routine and consider serum, eye cream, and a facial mask (no more than 2x a week).

    LHJ says we can toss out that toner ladies!

    A Recipe to Diminish Cellulite


    Okay girls, just how much do you hate cellulite? Do we really even need to a ask?  Guess what? You can make your own cream at home! Here is an excellent cellulite recipe you can make in the comfort of your own home.

    coffeegroundsCoffee Body Scrub

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups ground coffee
    • 1/2 sugar or sea salt
    • 2-3 tablespoons of massage oil of your choice

    Preperation

    Mix all the ingredients. Start off by taking a quick, warm shower. Then, start applying the scrub, gently massaging the skin. Rinse off with luke warm water.

    Using coffee increases the circulation. By doing so, it distributes the clusters of fat that give the skin that “orange” appearance. You could also add ground coffee to your regular body wash.


    *One of the most important things to remember when trying to diminish cellulite is to massage the cellulite area. Massaging it will help redistrubute the fat cells that are trapped, making the cellulite less visible.
