Practical & New Age Beauty Tips

For most women, the purpose of wearing makeup is to look younger, not older. Ironically, although many popular cosmetic companies promise their products will make you look young, their long term effects often cause the exact opposite...advanced aging. Pure, natural, organic products are the best choice for makeup and skin care. But even with the best choices, women often make a few common mistakes that can easily be corrected with the following practical and new age beauty tips...

Ways Your Makeup Could Be Aging You:

1.) Too much liner (mainly on the bottom of your eyes.)

2.) Too much foundation (especially under the eyes. )

3.) Too much powder (dries the skin. Blotters or a simple tissue are better.)

4.) Makeup that isn't mineral based (and I can write an entire book about the dangers of the chemicals many manufacturers use.)

Overall, too much of any makeup ages you. It is best to moisturize your skin and keep your look natural. Wear less makeup and focus primarily on having healthy skin.

Ways To Take Care Of Your Skin At Night:

1.) Well, moisturizer is key, and quite conventional, but only with all natural, organic products. My passion for organic products is what got me into the skincare business after decades of modeling. It is what keeps me looking and feeling young today in my 40s.

2.) Aromatherapy. It is not a popular beauty regimen, but it works. Often the soothing scent of all natural organic herbs is an excellent stress reliever, and can be as therapeutic and medicinal as it is spiritually healing.

3.) Chamomile tea. Not only will organic chamomile tea soothe your stomach and digestive system, it is also a refreshing, aromatic treat for a night time and anytime beverage.

4.) At least 15-20 minutes of your favorite activity before bed. This can entail going on the computer, meditating, indulging in your favorite dessert, or enjoying some cuddle time with someone you care about, because love is really good for a healthy glow, anytime and every time.

Do not let mass media fool you. You cannot buy beauty in a bottle, but you can buy products that enhance your natural beauty. And copying a celebrity's look does not showcase your own uniquely individual look, nor does plastic surgery, which always looks what it is...plastic. Nothing can make you stay young forever, but you can forever feel young and be naturally beautiful. The lesson to be learned is quite simple. Beauty = Healthy. Healthy Skin = Being Beautiful. Being Beautiful = Feeling Beautiful + Nurturing Yourself. So be sure to take the best care that you can of your mind, body, and spirit.
