12 stupid things for perfect skin
Beauty tips, we have all. But are we sure they are good? We try to get back on track with 11 make-up and bulk care tips. Beware, for those who would be lost in the whirlwind of beauty, these easy tips could become your subsistence. For those who already know them, bravo (you could have told us, anyway). For others, these beauty tips will amaze you.
Yes my good lady, when applying her moisturizer, the best is to avoid pushing the face down (he already does very well alone). It's a question of weightlessness. Then we start from the neck to go up to the forehead, and from the center of the face up cheekbones. Push-up effect guaranteed. A small step for us, a big step to challenge the laws of gravity. And of course, before applying his care, one chooses it well.
2. Leave your face moisturizer away from the eye area
When applying the cream, care should be taken to avoid the entire area around the eye. Why ? Because our moisturizing care is too heavy in water for this fragile area. The skin of the contour is so fine that it absorbs everything, in too great a quantity. And who says too much water, says skin that swells, says appearance of pockets. It is for this reason that there is care specifically adapted to this area (no, it's not just marketing).
3. Eliminate excess sebum
To eliminate sebum, there is no secret: a good cleansing of the skin. For this, arm yourself with a purifying cleanser! Also, to take good care of your skin (this, even if it is greasy), follow with the hydration: a step essential because it allows precisely to regulate the production of sebum.
4. To avoid dark circles, consider the circulation of blood
We agree, it is customary to apply its eye contour care by massaging the eyes from the inside to the outside (no?). Serious mistake, if you want to be effective on a ring or pocket morning, better to respect the lymphatic routes. Indeed, these nasty problems are the result of poor blood circulation, and not following the right path to stimulate the energy of the eye area is more or less to do nothing. And we, overworked women, really do not need that. So now, with the pulp of the index finger, we perform a mini-drainage by gently massaging the skin by small pressure in circular movements (and not by stretching to not wrinkle the skin and facilitate the appearance of wrinkles), a ten times from the outer corner to the inner corner of the eye. Then we do the same thing all around the orbit.
5. The peel to make a new skin
The peeling, you know? This is a technique of "peeling" the skin. Yes, you read correctly ! The peel burns a fine part of the skin with acid in order to renew the upper layers of the epidermis. Obviously, this technique is exclusively practiced by specialists. Allowing the removal of many of our small "imperfections", the peel is also ideal for getting rid of wrinkles. A somewhat miraculous technique that costs between 150 and 500 euros.
Fortunately for our wallet, cosmetics has mingled. From now on, the peeling is then accessible to all. For example, L'Oréal Paris offers its anti-aging peel care in the form of discs. Cottons pre-impregnated glycolic acid to be used every evening in cure of 30 days. A product that promises a brighter complexion from the first use. After 4 weeks, the skin texture is refined, while the spots and wrinkles are visibly reduced. Revitalift Laser x3 Anti-Aging Discs are ideal for new skin ... at a reasonable price.
Revitalift Laser x3 anti-aging discs, L'Oréal Paris - 17.90 euros (the 1-month cure - the 30 disc jar)
6. Another beauty tip? Apply your foundation with your hands
Fluid foundation or tinted cream, same fight: stop with brushes, we go with the fingers. Why ? Because the hands are "hot" and allow the molecules of the product to work together. The material is ideally warmed, it melts better on the skin and the effect is much more natural. Of course, you do not forget to wash your hands thoroughly before and after.
7. Add a drop of serum into the foundation
Foundation always, to make it more fluid, give it a more natural look and give us a nice face, we add a drop of serum in the palm of his hand before applying it. Goodbye effect plaster and too makeup. It's Tom Pecheux, the star make-up artist, who whispered to us during a backstage parade. #Bonus Tip: When you're tired, you do not try to hide it by forcing on the foundation. It only mummifies the face even more. So we calm the game instead by applying a drop of fluid foundation only on the axis of the face (we create a vertical line from the forehead to the chin) before stretching everything outward.
7. Apply its concealer properly
Rule # 1: Go soft. Why ? Because the concealer is more of an illuminator than a real camouflage tool. He plays with light to create a kind of optical effect but his power is limited. When you really have dark circles under the eyes, better go to sleep. The concealer will do nothing.
Rule # 2: To put it down, you tap with your finger to avoid finding yourself with a big trace and new folds under the eye. It is applied "in triangle" starting with small dots of the inner corner of the eye, down straight to the level of the bottom of the nose and up diagonally to the outer corner of the eye. It spreads without leaving the triangle and avoiding too close to the root of the eyelashes.
9. To wake up, think of the flesh pencil
After a night of madness, to arrive fresh at the office, apply a pencil line flesh inside the eye before fading slightly on the eyelids to clear small redness (shame). Whiplash for the eyes.
10. Exfoliate his lips
When we talk about exfoliating, we do not talk about taking pumice out. You should know that the skin of the lips is 5 times thinner than the rest of the face. An ultra sensitive area therefore, which we must take very great care. To make it very soft, it is necessary to rid it of its dead skins (from time to time), and to hydrate it intensely (all the time). So we give ourselves a little massage with specific gentle scrubs (a little honey and sugar it works too), and we can enjoy the night to offer a mask with ultra-moisturizing balm, nourishing, plumping .. To wake up with pink baby lips.
11. To remove imperfections, store your fingers
You will tell me, "how to remove without touching?". That's right, blackheads, small buttons ... are not the most beautiful effect on our face. But back naughty nails and other comedones! Better not to touch it and treat them gently. Why ? Because piercing them would only slow down their disappearance. This is the best way to aggravate the infection and end up with a nasty brand. Basically it's like waking up a dormant volcano. We will avoid, and instead work to find the right astringent lotion (the top to tighten the pores, dry imperfections and unify the complexion), remove makeup and clean gently morning and evening, and wait a little. Let's avoid making our skin an enemy, it will give us back.
12. To breathe
Sleeping to have a more beautiful skin, we knew it. But playing sports, is not it paradoxical? Not that much ... Just because sweat is evacuate stress as well as all the toxins that clog and tire our body through the pores of the skin. To make it simple, by boosting perspiration, the skin "self-cleans" and removes impurities and dead cells, while improving the microcirculation for better irrigation and better nutrition of skin tissues. The skin is better hydrated, more supple, clearer, smoother, sharper ... all in all. In addition it is valid for the whole body. For lazy people, take a ride to the steam room or sauna from time to time, and you're done.
The best recipe: 40 minutes of running (at the supermarket that does not count) + a hammam of fifteen minutes. Not to mention to drink a lot.
