- Remove your nail polish before it starts to chip and wears off in ugly patches on it's own. No time? let nails go bare. Clean is lovely, too.
- Brush your teeth every single night. This will be your insurance against dentures and your spouse's protection from suffering your dragon breath.
- Buy and use few good quality beauty products at a time. Instead of five 50-rupees creams of dubious ingredients, invest in one 500-rupee lotion that really works. Quality over quantity because your skin is worth it.
- Pamper dry skin by applying a nice emollient oil on it every night. No, no, oil on the face is not a skin taboo. Choose a good quality almond oil or olive oil for best results.
- Massage your hands with cream every night.
- Get your hair cut and coloured as soon as it needs it, rather than waiting for 2 months longer than you should and looking like a scarecrow.
- Learn the right way to use concealer. Applying it shoddily is one of beauty's commonest boo-boos. Renowned makeup expert Bobbi Brown suggests using your fingers or a concealer brush to apply a generous amount of concealer under the eyes, up to the lash lines and at the innermost corner of the eyes, Gently pat with your fingertips to smooth, then lock it with loose powder applied with a powder puff.
- Add skin-softening milk powder or relaxing mineral bath salts to your bath water from time to time.
- Snap out of your makeup rut, If you have been stuck with the same makeup routine for years. It's time to update your look.
- Give your skin time and room to breathe. No hiding under layers of makeup all the time. This will keep your skin from looking cakey nd your pores from getting clogged. No blackheads too. Oh, joy!
- See the uniqueness and beauty in others. It makes you more beautiful inside, and true beauty comes from within.
- Stay hydrated. After every cup of coffee or glass of alcohol, you must drink a glass of water. because these drinks have diuretic-water-draining effects on the body.
- Treat yourself to a weekly home facial. One glorious hour just for you. Deep condition your hair, put on a face mask, and just pamper yourself. It feels good and makes you look great.
- Avoid flaky lips with regular use of vaseline and light exfoliation with a toothbrush from time to time. Best time to do this: before going to bed.
- Wear sunscreen before stepping outdoors. I recommend M.A.C Day SPF 15 Light Moisture, either alone or under makeup. It is light weight and feels great. Never leave home without sunscreen.
- Keep a bottle of moisturiser, vaseline and lipgloss in your purse, always!
- Get those beauty enhancing endorphins going with an energising walk in the park or by the beach at least once a day. Even if you have only five or ten minutes, do it, Don't skip.
- Take power naps. They are more refreshing than eight hours of sleep.
- Harness the power of essential oils. Rose oil is one of the most effective natural moisturisers, lemon grass wakes up the senses, and lavender takes all the stress away.
- Shape your eyebrows, they make a huge difference ti the way you look.
- Choose a new fragrance that says 'you'! We are evolving, Makes sense to change our signature scents,
