Too many people accept the standards of beauty presented in the media and popular culture. When you use photographs in magazines as your comparison, remember that these are often retouched and fake. Your personal concept of beauty should be defined by you and grounded in natural reality. In this article, you will come across some good advice on beauty.
You should be sure to exfoliate. If you suffer from dry or very sensitive skin, you can safely exfoliate facial skin as much as three times each week. It is important to do this at least once. Your healthy skin cells are beneath the surface, so if you never exfoliate, they stay hidden. This will make your face appear more radiant and fresh and will prevent buildup of oils and dirt.
Before going to bed, rub your eyebrows with Vaseline. In the morning, your eyebrows will be shinier and smoother. Avoid getting Vaseline anywhere else on your face because it can cause unwanted acne breakouts.
You can adjust your hair's style and color to better accentuate the shape of your face. Your cut should be sleek and fairly long - falling just above shoulder length. Use low-lights and highlights as appropriate to frame your face. These are extremely flattering on almost all facial types.
Beauty products should be stored in your refrigerator if you can spare the space. By placing them in the refrigerator, you will lengthen their shelf life. Oils, lotions and toners that are refrigerated can be applied even in the worst heat. You will love the cool feeling on your skin.
If a social occasion is on your calendar right after work, refresh your face by using a fluffy brush for dusting matte powder on the oiliest parts of your face. Add some shimmery powder to your cheeks to emphasize your cheek bones.
You should get rid of your expensive cleaners, and keep some soap, toner and gel as moisturizer. These wholesome ingredients are great for all skin types. If aloe alone doesn't provide the moisture you need, add a drop or two of vitamin E. If you want a toner that is medicated, you can add some tea tree oil.
Don't pay exorbitant prices for commercial facial moisturizer when coconut oil will do just as well. Coconut oil will help reduce wrinkles and provides moisture to your skin. It also helps treat skin ailments like eczema, acne and psoriasis because of its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
You can use a kitchen sponge as a skin scrubber in the bathroom. They are basically the same as kitchen sponges except the price is usually much lower, and you can buy them in a pack of three or more to save even more.
To conceal imperfections, use some pink lipstick. Not that you should apply the lipstick to the actual problem, but because the pink lipstick usually draws attention to the lips and minimizes focus on other areas. With concealer and a bold, colorful lip color, your blemish will be almost invisible.
By using rosewater or cucumbers you can rid of the dreaded dark circles under your eyes. These will naturally cool and calm your eyes while lightening the skin underneath them. Relax for 15 minutes with cucumber or rosewater soaked pads covering your closed eyes.

There is so much fun and renewal to experience as one tries to re-create or re-work their personal appearance. With this new found knowledge, you have what it takes to be an even more beautiful you!
