1. I want to start using makeup, please advise me
Moderation in makeup is not only the latest fashion news but happens to be common sense. Let your skin breathe; you don’t have to wear base makeup. The idea of makeup is to enhance your natural features: mascara on lashes and a light use of eye pencil or eyeshadow to define eyes and a light touch of blusher on the cheekbones for color.
2. I’d like to pluck my eyebrows. How do I do it?
It’s important not to overdo it, because if you pluck them very thin you may have trouble growing them back. The best method is to simply shape your brows to suit your eye shape. Always start plucking from underneath the brow and from the outer corner, taking one hair at a time. This way you’ll get the right shape.
3. Should I start looking after my skin now?
Yes, you should. Clean your face with cleanser each night, tissue or rinse it off, then follow with toner or astringent (for more oily skins) to close the pores you have just cleaned. In the morning, if your skin is oily, wash with a medicated or pure soap, then apply moisturizer. If skin is normal, repeat your night cleansing routine and follow with a moisturizer to give your skin protection and nourishment.
4. What is an easy, inexpensive rinse for oily hair?
Mix the juice of a squeezed lemon with a dash of cider vinegar, pour it on your hair as a final rinse, then rinse off. It cleanses and gives extra shine to hair.
5. How do I get rid of pimples?
Good skin care, as already described, will help eliminate pimples. Diet plays an important part, too. Stay away from fatty, fried foods fizzy drinks and chocolates. Drink lots of water and fruit juices and eat lots of leafy green vegetables and fruit, grains, white meat, and fish. Remember don’t pick at the pimples or scars will result.
6. I like my hair long but it always looks the same. What can I do?
The only way to keep long hair from looking boring is to first have it trimmed to keep the ends neat, then you can change the style as often as you like. Get ideas from fashion and beauty magazines. All you need is a brush, some pins, and a little imagination to change from plaits to chignons to twists.
7. My hair looks dull and unhealthy, what do I do?
Shiny, healthy hair is the result of good care. First keep your hair clean. Choose a shampoo that suits your hair type, as most shampoos are made for a specific purpose. Use a conditioner with every wash. Next, give it a good cut. Keep hair well brushed to stimulate blood circulation to your scalp.
Diet is important for healthy hair; eat plenty of protein. Every so often, visit the hairdresser for an expert conditioning treatment; it may seem extravagant but it’s worth it. Short hair looks great on teenagers but you should probably avoid in-between lengths.
8. Is it necessary to remove makeup before bedtime?
Yes, it is very important to remove every trace of makeup before you go to sleep. Like any other part of your body, your face needs to be cleaned properly daily. If you don’t follow this rule you risk having clogged pores, resulting in blackheads, pimples, and enlarged pores. Makeup should not be a cover-up for dirty skin, it should enhance a clean and well-cared-for skin.
9. I want to stay off junk food. What are some good eating habits?
The best is to stick to a nutritious, balanced diet. It must be balanced to get all the vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrate and fiber that your body needs every day, and it should be nutritious because your body needs all those vital nutrients.
Basically, eat fruit, green and yellow vegetables, salads, some dairy produce, yogurt, wheat germ or bran, lean meats or fish, and drink water every day. Stay away from refined foods, and high-calorie foods.
