Healthy skin is really one of the most important ingredients for beauty-enhancement. This article on natural skin care tips is an effort to bring the 10 best skincare methods to you. The list of skincare ideas has been restricted to 10 because anything more that that would not only be difficult to remember, but also shadow the more important skin care methods. So let’s see what these leading ten natural skin care methods are:
* Knowing your skin type is one of the most important skincare tip. This is important because not every skincare product suits everyone. In fact, all the skincare products specify the type of skin they cater too.
* ‘Drink a lot of water’. This will not keep your skin moist but will help in overall upkeep of your health (and in turn your skin). It might seem a bit awkward to some, however, this is an important natural skin care tip.
* Cleanse your skin regularly (1-2 times everyday). A very effective skincare tip that helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh elements from your skin. Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your house (and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc). This natural skin care tip also advocates the use of Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, cause damage to your skin)
* Be gentle, after all it’s your skin. Don’t scrub/exfoliate too hard or too often. Similarly, don’t apply too much or too many skincare products. A must-to-follow natural skin care tip.
* Keep your skin moist at all times. This is one of the most important natural skin care tip. Don’t let your skin get dry. Dryness causes the outer layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance. Use moisturizers/ emollients. Moisturizers work best when applied while the skin is still damp.
* Avoid the use of soap on your face. Soap should only be used from below the neck. A small but important natural skin care tip.
* Use sunscreen to protect yourself from sun’s harmful UV radiations. You can use day-time moisturizers that have sunscreen built into them. Use them even when it’s cloudy. UV radiations are known to cause skin cancer, so follow this skincare tip without fail.
* A bit of exercise and good sleep are essential too, not just for skincare but for your health as a whole. Lack of sleep can lead to formation of wrinkles below your eyes and lack of exercise can cause your skin to slack. Moreover, exercise and sleep also help in beating stress. So besides being a natural skin care tip, this is also a health care tip.
* Treat skin dilemmas with care. This natural skin care tip is about not ignoring any skin dilemmas. Consult your dermatologist before you go on to use a skin care product (lest you do end up harming your skin even more).
* Beat the stress. The harmful effects of stress are known to everyone, however, sometimes stating the obvious is essential too (and hence this skin care tip found its place here). Yes, stress harms skin too. So, take a break or indulge in a warm bubble bath or just get good sleep.

How To Get A Rosier Complexion For Mature Skin

Finding makeup for mature skin is simple. Just by looking for words in the label like, hydrating, revitalize, or dewy can assure that it’s the right makeup for mature skin. In order to get a rosier complexion that assures your complexion a dewier look, and your skin more moisture, seek out oil based foundations, creamy blushers and moisturizing powders.
For women under 50, it’s suggested that using a mineral oil based makeup works best. For women 50 and older a creamy foundation is recommended. Remember though, that being in good shape, also keeps your skin in good shape. When working out and sweating a lot helps your skin by cleansing from the inside out. If you are a 65 year old women and play a sport several times a week, you would be able to use the same foundation that a woman in her thirties uses. So as not to bring attention to to those fine lines, don’t use oil free foundations, powdered blushers, and oil blotting powders.
You may want to re-think the “no makeup” thing. Just by adding a touch of color to your lips or cheeks you can give a sallow complexion a little pick me up. With or without sun damage, mature skin can appear yellow. To give mature skin a more youthful look, wear brighter makeup.
In order to brighten up your face and avoid it looking unnatural and over done, look for a foundation, blusher and powder, go subtle and choose one for your skin tone. Muted shades of eye shadow, greens mixed with browns, is more flattering to mature skin.And for the lips use clear, strong colors like pink and coral. To assure lips from looking dry, stay away from matte lipsticks, use lipsticks that are shiny. Wearing non-frosted eye shadows will keep them from having a crepe-like look.
Cosmetic surgery can take years off your appearance, boosting your self confidence in the bargain. But a more youthful face can’t make you happier, save a relationship or change your life. So before you even schedule an appointment with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, examine your reasons for wanting the surgery and make sure your expectations are realistic. After all, you’re talking about a serious-and expensive-medical procedure.
You should also make sure you know about all the available options-surgical and non-surgical-and what they can or cannot do. Collagen injections, facial peels and dermabrasion eliminate wrinkles but won’t tighten loose, sagging skin like an eye lift or face lift will. All cosmetic surgery carries risks, which you should discuss with your dermatologist or surgeon at your consultation.
