10 Simple Ways to Beautify Your Appearance


For millions of people out there, looking good is feeling good. The better you look to other people and especially to yourself, the more confidence you develop. And the more confidence you have, the better you will ultimately feel. Use some beauty tips to always ensure you look your best.

When you have great hair, other people notice. When other people notice and approve, you approve and start to feel a lot better about yourself. Ensuring that your hair is always looking its best is a great way to always feel as if you're beautiful.

Another great way you can feel great about yourself is to ensure that your nails are always looking good. Have them trimmed, filed and painted every other week so that they're always looking fresh and attractive.

For women, there's nothing as off-putting as having facial hair. A lot of women deal with facial hair on their chin, lip and cheeks. Make sure that you shave this or that you have it waxed. Don't worry; it won't come back darker. Just shave it now before it gets thicker.

You don't have to become a gym rat and work on a rail-thin, toned body. But as long as you're working out, your energy levels will rise, you'll start to feel a lot better physically, and the boost of confidence you receive will certainly make you feel beautiful.

Smoking is something that will drag you down in multiple ways. The smoke will accelerate wrinkles. Your fingers will turn yellow. You'll start to wreak of cigarette smoke. It's just not an attractive thing to do. It's not 1950 anymore; smoking isn't cool.

Smelling great is the perfect way to make sure that all eyes are on you in a positive fashion. Smell is more closely related to the pheromones that attract us than anything of a visual nature, so smelling good can help  you to feel beautiful.

If you're eating right, receiving the right amount of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, your body will respond in a positive way. It's better for your skin. It's better for your waistline. It's better for your energy levels. It's the best way to ensure that you feel and look your best. Don't bog yourself down with junk food.

There's a very fine line literally between looking attractive with makeup and looking odd and out of place. Something as simple as the wrong type of eye shadow can make you look a little clownish or like one of those Twilight-loving emo teenagers rather than an attractive, confident woman. Always make sure you're using the right makeup.

Exfoliating your skin will keep it looking clean and crisp. Removing the deal skin cells and cleaning your pores deep down will give your skin a natural glow without it looking too shiny or oily. Exfoliate at least once a week to remove that dead skin.

Another tip to boost your energy levels and to improve your overall health, getting enough sleep every night will enable you to look and feel your absolute best. This is a tip that shouldn't be taken lightly. Always get the proper amount of sleep.

If you can follow these tips, you should have no trouble at all looking great and feeling great. Beauty is something that comes from within, and working on your overall health and then touching it up with tweaks to your outer appearance is the perfect recipe for success.

Beauty Begins From Within: Supplements for a Beautiful Appearance


Whether you prefer a clean, classic appearance or an elaborate makeup look, being beautiful starts from the inside. Nourishing your skin, hair and nails from within is a surefire way to make the most of your natural beauty. Even if you don't wear a drop of foundation, lipstick or eyeliner, you can still maintain a fresh and glowing complexion. Fuel beauty with these must-have vitamins and nutrients.

Vitamin A is found in abundance in foods like eggs, milk, leafy green vegetables and yellow fruits. Rich in antioxidants, it battles free radicals in the body and protects against aging and wrinkles. Other benefits include increased circulation, which can significantly improve the appearance and youthfulness of your skin. The recommended dietary allowance for adult women is 4,000 IU every day.

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is derived from foods like citrus fruit, cherries, berries, tomatoes and broccoli. Women who consume at least 40 mg per day enjoy beauty benefits like increased collagen production, which helps to maintain skin elasticity. Applying topical products with vitamin A promotes a smooth, silky skin tone and protects against UV rays and photodamage. Of course, this doesn't mean you can forgo the sunscreen.

Taken in supplement form or applied topically, vitamin E plays a major role in getting beautiful, healthy skin. Products with vitamin E oil are excellent for gradually and gently easing away scars and stretch marks. Creams, oils and serums with vitamin E are also ideal for areas with dry, rough skin; apply it to ankles, hands, elbows and knees for touchable softness. Add vitamin E to your daily diet by munching on seeds, almonds, peppers and greens, or take a daily supplement that includes the recommended dietary allowance of 15 mg for adult women. As a result, you will see skin that is more even in tone and less prone to unsightly scarring or formation of stretch marks.

If you find yourself battling acne, zinc can be your skin's best friend. Zinc plays a critical role in cell division, growth and repair--three things that contribute to a radiant, youthful complexion. It works with vitamin A to promote strong, shiny hair and also to prevent premature aging. Raw foods that are abundant in zinc include nuts, seeds, spinach and coconut. Topical zinc reduces sebum production and helps to zap zits before they form.

Consuming a healthy amount of omega-3 fatty acids works wonders for anyone who battles dry or itchy skin year-round. These nutrients are found in abundance in foods like fish, walnuts and flaxseed oil or can be taken in supplement form; adult women should aim for 1.1 grams of fatty acids per day. In addition to skin care benefits, fatty acids also strengthen thin, brittle fingernails.

Beautiful, youthful skin is the ideal starting point for any look from classic to outrageous. Even without a stitch of makeup, healthy skin goes a long way in improving your appearance. Whether you choose topical products or dietary supplements, the vitamins discussed in this article will bring you one step closer to glowing, healthy skin.
