I have some more tried and true tips for you ladies that enjoy pampering theirselves. SPAS AREN'T 4 ME!! I can groom myself thank you.... I really enjoy taking a night for me and just pampering myself so I just wanted to share some of my tips with you ladies that know how to take care of themselves and not have to pay someone else to do it for them. I love coming up with new ways to better my health, including on the outside.
**SKIN** {**Wake up to softer feet**}
Take your favorite lotion, I always have some real thick lotion, as ever since I moved to Arizona I have been addicted to lotion. Serously I keep a bottle by my bed and wake up in the middle of the night, sip my water and mosturize my hands and feet!! Its so dry in the desert, my skin gets just as thirsty as my mouth so for me its not just for when you get out of the shower. But once a week I get a real moisture treat using a thick lotion (if your lotion is just normal thats fine, just use more of it for this 1
Take some bags from your local food store and cut the tops off. Grab a pair of socks (I use tight fitting bootie socks) Lotion up your feet really well, after rubing it all in take a lot more and just smear it on your feet and ankles, take the plastic bags and stick your feet in them, placing your toes up in a corner. Wrap the plastic around so its snug and pull your sock over it. It feel a bit weird at first so I recomend doing this before you get into bed, if you try to walk around the house like this you'll see why your better off in bed! In the morning take them off 1st thing so your feet can breathe while your getting ready for work. Notice how much softer your feet will feel! It will make you want to put on your favorite pair of sandles to show off your well nourished and moisturized feet!!
**DARK CIRCLES**.................................
**{I have dark circles no matter how much sleep I get. I had them when I was little too so they were there before stress so ........
Before stress, lack of sleep and smoke. I just tried something different and it works great!! Not only did I stop using that concealer that never totally works and gets weird in the lines in my eyes, but I am helping nourish the few tiny fine lines I have and preventing any new ones! There is this incredible new face powder out, now I have never used foundation cuz its so bad for your skin and I dont like anyone to see that I am wearing any makeup. But I definately use powder as my skin is oily. So this new stuff they have is mineral powder. I love it and its actually good for your skin and its all natural. Also I use wrinkle eye creams and have for years now. Think I started when I was 18 and I'm now 31. Lets just say that when I tell people my age they think I'm lieing and that I'm 21. So I acomplished what I wanted in starting to wear eye creams early. ANywho....When your ready to start applying your concealer, DON'T!! Instead use your favorite wrinkle eye cream.........
Don't use one that is really oily, but one that is the consistanticy of a light eye cream and just pat it on lids and circles (in the same place you would put your concealer, not on any extra area) If you get it on a part of skin you dont conceal, wipe it off. With a pad only apply powder in a patting motion to dark circles and go over the area a few times, just patting, don't sweep the pad on your face. Then with a brush, brush off the extra powder and WALA!! Your circles are covered just as a concealer would do or better and its so natural looking, no more white undereyes that look like a racoon in the dark!! Also if you use a transparent powder you dont have to worry about your color changing from being in the sun, this wrinkle helping conceal will blend perfectly with what ever your skin tone is. No more changing makeup tints. (tan tint or winter tint) And your are nourishing your eyes with moisture all day long keeping wrinkles away and helping existing ones fade away!!
**TIPS**===
When you apply the powder to the pad, make sure you accumulate a lot of powder, as you are pressing this into your eye cream making it stick so it conceals. You have the brush to gently sweep away the extra powder when your finished. This also works well for other inperfections on your face. Like a pimple, use a pimple medicine right on the pimple and then do the same thing. (you will have medicine on your pimple working at healing it while hiding it) Also I have a healing burn on my face, I dont want it to scar so everyday I put this special vit. C facial cream on it, then pat it with powder so not only is my scar hiding, its also recieving vit. C which helps heal away scars. LOL
Well look around for my next Tip on HAIR====**Wake up to softer hair & keep your color staying freash throughout your color!! I'm sure you'd like to know how I get my color to stay true and vibrant for months and months before I color it again
Oh yeah I forgot about that cream, I got it for my friend one time cuz it had a cow print on it and she loves cows, in any case I ended up keeping it cuz it was such a great cream and its cheap too
