Beauty Tips: Cosmetics: Post 1

Hey! Welcome back, I decided to catch up on my posts from when I was on vacation. So, here it is, cosmetics edition!

1. Avoid:

  •  Overly abrasive scrubs 
  • Astringents (toners) containing alcohol and menthol 
  • Scrubbing mitts 
  • Very cold and very hot water 
  • Steaming (with scalding water) or icing the skin 
  • Facial masks with perfumes and alcohol 
  • loofahs
  • bar soaps and bar cleansers.
2. Wrinkles cannot be stopped with moisturizers of almost any sort. The only way you can get rid of wrinkles is by taking care of your skin, no tanning, and definitely no sunburns. Take care of your skin in the sun, make sure you stay protected!

3. Find yourself some good, handy, useful books! I personally enjoy :

  • The Seventeen Guide: 500 Beauty Tips
  • Series: Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me
  • Some searching! Go to a local bookstore and search through the beauty section. Find at least 3 titles that interest you, and look through them. Buy the ones you enjoy, and try to get one with individual tips or facts.

Comment the beauty books you enjoy, I'll put them up in the next post if we get any!
