Beauty Tips

• Beauty Tip: For a flattering look when applying eye shadow, apply a neutral colour to the whole lid, then a darker colour into the corner away from your face.

• Beauty Tip: Try massaging your skin with papaya. It can refresh dull, tired and dry skin.

• Beauty Tip: To naturally lighten your hair, spray on some lemon juice and spend a few hours in the sunlight.

• Beauty Tip: Use a sulphate-free shampoo, as sulphates can be harsh and drying on the hair cuticle. Most health shops should stock these.

• Beauty Tip: Sleeping on a pure silk pillowcase has been shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and help your skin stay smooth.

• Beauty Tip: Use a scrub or an exfoliator to get rid of dead skin, but limit yourself to two to three times a week so that you don’t dry out your skin.

• Beauty Tip: To preserve your curls, use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to brush your hair out, rather than a brush, which will lead to frizziness.

• Beauty Tip: Tame annoying flyaways with a little bit of hairspray on an old toothbrush. You can also use an old toothbrush to clean out your clogged hairdryer.
