My humble opinion on health and makeup ;)

Face

Lips; I like them soft and yummy. First I exfoliate them gently with Lipscuff (from the Bodyshop). You can also use your toothbrush for it. Then I’ll use a lipbalm. Actually I never wear lipstick because it’s gone after 10 minutes and just doesn’t suit me. I like lipbalms with fruity tastes. Like the lipsmackers from Bonne Bell - Cotton Candy.

Because I have acne rosacea (just my luck, red skin and pimples…) I don’t use facial products, this will only worsen it.
You can use a face wash from for instance Garnier and apply cream afterwards. Find out what kind of skin type you’ve got to see what products will be best.

Slow down on make-up, less is more! Actually I only wear eyeliner and use some powder for my blinking nose. I also use an eyebrow brush to shape and brush my eyebrows with. Sometimes when I feel like a tomato, I need Max Factor colour adapt foundation on my cheeks.

Health

First of all, never ever diet. Diets will only make you fat. This is because it slows down your metabolism. If you want to lose some weight just try to eat a bit healthier and excersise for about half an hour a day.

Drink lots of water XD The recommended daily two litres of fluid can come from any drinks: tea, coffee, coke, fruit juice - even beer But I think water and green tea or herbal tea are best.
Try to cut down on “light” drinks and food, with artificial sweeteners in them. I’ve got a feeling they’re not very safe. I’m also avoiding Flavour enhancers (like MSG) and Citric acid in foods. The above seem to trigger my migraine attacks, aside from the monthly raging hormones

Vitamins. Some vitamins are good for your hair and nails (vit. E) and others are good for your skin (vit. C) You’ll find more information on vitamins and minerals on this site. Try eating 2 fruits a day.

When I shower I use a PH neutral showergel, because I’m a little allergic. I love white musk and almond gels. Don’t shower too hot because this will make your skin dry. I know its hard though (^_^) I have a very dry skin. This is why I use a bodylotion after I’ve taken a shower, it really works for me. I use Cocoa Butter from the Body Shop, they also have other butters, yum!

Be kind and use products that are not tested on animals, for instance from the Body Shop and Yves Rocher. Check this site for a complete list.

Hair

Use a gentle shampoo and shower your hair with cold water when your almost done. This will make your hair more shiny XD. I often use conditioners for my hair (preferably with a nice fruity fragant) because it makes it very soft. Try not to use a heater, because this will damage your hair.
Don’t wash it too much because then it gets greasy much more quickly. Oh and if you have split ends, just cut them off.

Fragrance

Try to collect samples of perfumes to figure out which one suits you best. Always try a perfume on your skin before you buy it. Wait for about ten minutes and then you’ll know how the perfume smells on your body. Try scents on your own skin, as everyone’s skin chemistry is different. I prefer having different perfumes so I can change them according to my mood.

It’s best to use deodorant without alcohol in it, because this will irritate your skin when you’ve shaved your armpits. Don’t use much deodorant though, too much of it might even kill you (O_o)

Shaving

I’ve used a shavingmachine and tried an epilator. The shavingmachine worked quite well. But the epilator made a lot of noise, hurt and left half of the hairs on my legs still there :(. I advise using a razorblade, those which are especially designed for women. I use Gilette Venus, they also have nice gels like Melon Splesh and Wild Berry :-9 It gets really fluffy and it smells so nice, yeah! You can remove the hairs best by shaving in opposite direction. Don’t press too hard, if you use a sharp blade the razor will do all the work.
