Everyone’s idea of beauty is different, but wanting to look beautiful is a universal trait. Now wonder the beauty products industry is booming and how! There are creams, lotions and serums that that claim to make you look fairer, younger and more beautiful. Buying them is definitely an option, but try out these steps to looking beautiful every day and see a difference!
1. It’s called beauty sleep for a reason
This one might sound like a no-brainer, but sleep is the most neglected part of our daily routine. We all know how horrible we feel after an unsatisfactory night of sleep, but we still continue to compromise on our sleep in favour of reading, surfing, partying and pretty much everything else. Take a look at the benefits of sleep and see if it can get you to change your routine.
2. Drink up!
This is the easiest thing you need to do to look beautiful everyday – hydrate! Water keeps our body’s engine running smoothly, helps us lose weight and makes us look beautiful! Hydrated skin is happy skin, and if you’re not drinking enough water, no amount of external moisturizer is going to help it. Well, water is not the most exciting drink, so here are some options to jazz up the drink and have you reaching out for more.
3. Happy is beautiful
You might think that if you look beautiful, you’ll automatically be happy. But it’s actually the other way round – be happy and it will make you look good. We don’t just mean that a smile increases your ‘pleasant quotient’ by several notches, but being happy actually has many health benefits, which will make you glow.
4. Go natural
There has been a lot of research in the field of skincare, and new ‘miracle products’ crowd the aisles of beauty stores. But when in doubt, go back to nature. Natural products are your best bet – they are safer in the long run, have less side effects and there is something for all types of skin in Nature’s bounty.
5. A sweaty way to beauty
Exercise is not just something you do when you want a beach-ready body or when wedding season demands that you be in shape. There are numerous benefits of exercising, but did you know that it is great for your skin and helps in removing toxins from your body? Read on to find out more about what exercise can do for your body.
6. Organics are your friend
All of us try to eat healthy but when the weekend arrives, all our resolutions go out of the window and we eat cheesy, fried and spicy food to satisfy our cravings. We’re not saying that you never have a cheat day, but a few changes, like going organic, will make your body thank you.
7. Beauty is a personal thing
New thumb rule for your skin: There might be a new beauty product that everyone’s raving about, but don’t use it if it doesn’t suit you. Here is a novel way to customize your beauty routine for you, that takes your constitution into consideration.
8. Own your style
The rule that applies to beauty also goes for fashion. There are certain fashion trends that are great and must be integrated into your wardrobe, but style should never be a ‘Copy, Paste’ job. Develop your personal style as early as possible after knowing what works for you, and it will serve you well for life.
9. Make hygiene a habit
This should probably be at the top of the list, but we figured everyone already knows about this. Maintaining hygiene should be at the top of everybody’s priority list, especially in a hot, humid and polluted country like India where the environment takes a huge toll on your skin. Hygiene doesn’t just mean washing your face – it means making it a part of your daily routine.
10. Experiment and have fun!
The last rule is that there are no rules! Just kidding, we hope you follow all the points given above. But it is equally important too not take the whole thing too seriously, and experiment and have fun with your makeup, clothes and attitude. You have one life and you’ll regret if you don’t mix it up a bit and play around a bit with your style!
We hope all you beautiful people follow these tips to enhance your beauty. If you have any beauty secrtes of your own, please share them in the comments section!
