Creating a beauty regimen that works for you is not very straight forward; there are many aspects to consider.   We offer the following 7 easy tips as simple guidance that provide invaluable information that helps you develop your own routine to look beautiful.

Vaseline For Nice Hands

Dry skin is easy to flake, itch, crack and even bleed. Since ointments are more effective and less irritating than lotions, you can consider applying petroleum jelly to dry skin, including your lips and eyelids. 

The skin on your eyelids is the thinnest skin on the body and can get irritated easily. If your eyelids get dry and flaky, apply a small amount of petroleum jelly for moisture and protection. For the best results, always apply petroleum jelly when your skin is damp.

Apply petroleum jelly on your cuticles weekly.  As it feeds and nourishes your nails, they are able to grow more quickly. Your cuticles and nails are also going to look healthier and nicer. Results will be almost immediate the Vaseline really does make the nails look great very quickly.

If you frequently get manicures and pedicures, apply petroleum jelly to your nails and cuticles in between polishes.  This process will minimize brittleness and help prevent your nails from chipping. For the best results, apply it when your nails are damp.

Take Care of Your Feet

Cracked heels and dry, flaking feet are unattractive, especially when you are wearing sandals. To remedy this problem, what you do is right before you go to bed, you soak your feet in a warm water bath for ten minutes, coat them with petroleum jelly and then cover them with a thick pair of socks to lock in the moisture. In no time, you'll have soft feet.

A foot soak soothes your muscles, hydrates your skin, and can relieve aches and pains due to standing for hours or walking in uncomfortable shoes. In addition, having your feet sit in their own bath can help reduce swelling and prevent bacteria from settling into blisters and cuts or under toenails.

Use Right Cosmetics for Fine Lines

As you age, you may have fine lines around your eyes, mouth, and forehead.  When that happens, you should look for cosmetics with light-reflecting particles. These products, which are just more matte than shimmery, can reflect light in a way that appears to make the fine lines simply disappear. You can use this trick all over your face, or just in your laugh lines.

When covering fine lines and wrinkles, start with a tiny amount of concealer so it won't look heavy.  Apply it in thin layers and make sure to blend well. As for the question of whether you should apply the product before or after foundation, experts recommend concealer as the step in your makeup routine immediately following foundation. "Apply concealer after foundation and blend into the foundation seamlessly.”

Use a Misting Spray to Set Makeup

Once you’ve cultivated your look, misting spray can be applied to hold it in place and protect it from smearing and smudging. Many makeup “experts” will tell you that all you need is primer.  Although primer can help hold makeup in place, it won’t be nearly as effective as setting spray. Setting spray, also known as fixing spray, can be found in mist or spray forms.  They will keep your makeup looking on point all day long. Typically, you can find setting products in a mist, spray, or powder. When you learn how to use setting spray, those trips to the ladies room for touch-ups will become less and less frequent.

Use a misting spray to set your makeup. After you are finished fully making up your face, lightly mist yourself with a sprayer. This will set your makeup, keeping it in place longer before requiring you to touch it up. This is perfect for long nights out or events such as weddings.

Keep Your Hands Off Your Face

"Bacteria, viruses and allergens transfer from fingertips onto the skin.  Repeatedly rubbing the skin can do some real damage," said by a dermatologies. "Rubbing the eyes, for example, can actually create microscopic tears in the tissue, which makes the eye area look older faster.  It breaks the capillaries in the eyelids and causes little thread-like veins called telangiectasia.  It can also break the capillaries under the eye that intensifies dark circles.

Do not pick or squeeze at your face. A simple beauty rule is to keep your hands off of your face, except to clean or moisturize. You run the risk of causing scars when you pick at your face. You can also transfer oil and dirt onto your face when you are touching it.

Exfoliate as Often as You Need

Your skin is designed to constantly repair and replace itself. Because of this process, there can be layers upon layers of dead skin all over your body.  That is why you need exfoliating, which helps rid your body of these leftover dead skin cells, and reveal healthier, brighter skin immediately after.

While brighter skin is certainly desirable, exfoliation can actually help improve the health of your skin as well. If your skin is riddled with dead cells, your skin care products may not be able to penetrate deep into the skin and do their work. By removing the top-most layer of skin, you’re making it easier for your topical skin treatments to sink deep below the surface where they could make a difference.

If you have acne-prone skin, exfoliation can help clear out clogged pores that often lead to breakouts. It can also help fade acne scars faster by accelerating skin cell turnover and stimulating collagen production.

If you have dry skin or older looking skin, you need to do exfoliating on a weekly basis. You should also do this if you are applying any kind of tanning lotion. You want to exfoliate first to get the most out of the tanning lotion you are using.

Blot Oily Skin

Blotting paper is smooth, absorbent paper that removes oil without taking off your makeup. It's the most convenient quick fix for an oily face. You just simply take out a sheet and blot your forehead, nose, chin, and any other oily spots. You can buy blotting paper at most drugstores, but if you don't have it on hand, try one of these handy substitutes.

If you are out on the town and notice your face is oily, you can use toilet paper to blot your skin. This works as well as any blotting paper and will remove any excess oil you may have on your skin and give you a perfect flawless look.

Alternatively, you can use disposable face cleansing pads. These are convenient when you're on the go and just have to wipe away the oil on your face. Since cleansing pads are wet and they contain soap, use this solution when you aren't wearing makeup as cleansing pads will take your makeup right off. If possible, splash your face with cold water after using a pad to remove the trace amounts of soap.
