Beauty 101

This is a simple post, but yet, people tend to forget this when it comes to looking beautiful.

The basic beauty tip I have discovered as a  Make-up artist over the past years : the ton of make up on your face and puffed up hair will make no difference and in fact it might make you look worse, by looking older and more tired.  If the beauty does not come from within ( yes, here you can laugh about how generic this might sound , but it's a generic and most common fact for a reason ) all the expensive products you use, will not rescue you.

Your body, hair , nails etc,  they have to feel relaxed and well rested in order for you to feel beautiful (beauty also comes from feeling comfortable in your own skin) , that means, you need to treat yourself sometimes to achieve it. Which never means that you have to go to Beauty Salons or buy expensive lotions. The best way to achieve your own natural beauty before putting on any make up or clothes, is to Relax and there's no better way to relax than doing it at home in your own comfort zone.

I will divide this topic into several sections , to avoid making it too big and too dry .

                                      Treat your Skin :

For all those people who think that their skin does not have enough moisture, radiance or just needs a lift up. There's nothing better than mixing up some grounded coffee and any oil that you already have at home and simply mixing it up together.

The reason why I'm not including sugar in this list, even though a lot of coffee scrubs do, it does not work for any skin type , it would be up to you to see if it fits your skin type. But don't mix it up with your whole batch , have a test trial with a little bit mixed it. 

 

And if you don't have any body oil or lotion at home, olive oil works wonders as well. This specific scrub gives you quite a lot of option to improvise  on your own and try out what works best for YOU ( like adding ginger, Cinnamon , lemon , sea salt and the ratio of coffee and sugar).

( Coffee is an old trick when it comes to beauty, It's  known for it's rich source of antioxidants, It protects against harsh sun rays, It makes skin smooth and bright and 
It enhances circulation  ) .
