Make sure that you shave a minimum of 24 hours before you apply a fake tan. Whether you decide to wax or shave you should do it 24 hours prior to tanning to ensure positive results. Waiting 24 hours makes it much more likely that your tan won’t have noticeable blemishes or rough spots.
Make your nail polish last longer. You can make your nails look like you just had a manicure and last longer by using a base coat, 2 coats of color and a top coat. This will provide your nails with a glossy look that will last for at least a few weeks.
Make your hair smell good. Spritz your favorite perfume on your hairbrush or comb and brush your hair. This will give your hair a great and lasting scent. If you notice the scent is fading, do it again. Knowing your hair smells good can make you feel better about it.
To determine whether you have cool or warm skin tones, check out the veins on the inside of your wrist. If you have cool skin, the veins will appear bluish in color. If you have warm skin, they will have a greenish tint instead. Cool skin tones look best in cool colors, such as blue and purple, whereas warm skin tones, look best in warm colors like red, yellow and orange.
Always apply a heat protectant spray to your hair before using a curling iron, flat iron or hair dryer. Heat can damage your hair, leaving it brittle, dry and full of split ends. Just like their name implies, heat protectant sprays coat your hair to protect it from the heat. This allows it to stay smooth, sleek and shiny no matter how you choose to style your hair.
Boar hair brushes are great to help reduce frizz in your hair. Frizzy hair is a common problem for many people. To manage the frizz, use a brush made from boar bristles as you dry your hair. While holding the dryer, be sure to aim in a downward direction and run the brush through your hair.
Rosewater and cucumbers can be used to ease the puffiness and dark circles under your eyes. They both contain natural components which will not only lighten the under-eye skin tone but also cool your eyes. Simply dip a couple of soft cotton pads in rosewater or cucumber juice, and place each upon closed eyes for approximately 15 minutes.
Using a fake tanning lotion can make your skin appear more beautiful without getting any of the harmful rays from sunbathing or tanning. Make sure to shave or wax any hair that you don’t want on your body before applying any type of tanning lotion at least 24 hours ahead of time.
If you want to camouflage a pimple, rosacea, a rash or another reddish skin imperfection dab on a green concealer. While it looks strange in the package, the green neutralizes the red tones of irritated skin so you can apply your regular foundation and concealer without the redness showing through.
Some men care about their looks but don’t realize that hair is a key factor to focus on in order to look your best. It is also important that men use a good conditioner.
It is important to exfoliate and shave before you use spray tanning products. Skin needs to be prepared for the color to ensure that it absorbs evenly and doesn’t leave telltale orange streak marks.
You can spend big bucks on special dandruff shampoos containing salicylic acid for your dandruff and/or flaky scalp. But did you know that salicylic acid is, in fact, aspirin? So you can skip the expensive shampoos. Just take a regular uncoated aspirin or two, crush it to a powder, and mix it with your shampoo. Let it sit on your scalp for a minute and you will find it has the same result as more expensive treatments.
If you have sensitive skin there are certain things you should avoid doing in order to keep your skin healthy and looking its best. Do not wash your face with regular soap, do not use harsh, overly strong cosmetics, do not use facial masks that dry out the skin, avoid the use of foaming cosmetics and do not use cosmetics that contain fruit acids or alcohol.
Keep a tube of red lipstick around. Red lipstick looks great on a wide range of skin tones and face types. It can really accent your face, and draw attention to your lips. Beware if you have a sore, or a reason you do not want people to look.
Loose powder is great to use if you want to get rid of an oily look. Use a brush and grab some powder. Remove excess powder by using your hand to tap the brush. Once you’ve done this, run the brush over your roots. The powder doesn’t show but absorbs some of the oil.
