Replace your pricy toners, moisturizers, and cleansers with castile soap, witch hazel, aloe, and other natural materials. Your skin will glow and look healthy with these natural beauty products. If aloe alone is not providing enough moisture, add to it some vitamin E oil. If medicated toners are required, you can always add some tea tree oil.
Make sure that your blush and your lip color are in harmony. If you are using blush, it is important to make sure that it matches the color you are using for your lips. Pink should be with pink, red with red, etc. If the colors vary too greatly from one another, they will clash terribly.

Ingrown hairs can be avoided by applying lotion to the skin on a daily basis. You should use lotion right after you shave so that ingrown hairs won’t form. Dry skin increases the risk of ingrown hairs, and daily use of lotion can reduce this risk. This will make existing ingrown hairs come out, and stop new ones from forming.
To boost your hair’s shine when you wash it in the sink or shower, give it a final rinse under really cold water, if you can stand it. The cold water helps to seal the hair’s cuticle, making your tresses look smoother, shinier, and less frizzy than rinsing with hot water.
For a boost of sun protection for your everyday products, look for foundation and moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher.
