Simple and Fast Bedtime Beauty Routine


After a day of work and went home, you must fell so tired. But for a woman, you still have many things to do, cooking, cleaning, and most importantly, makeup remove and skin care routine. You don’t want to get your skin worse by simplify the beauty routine, but you also want to go to bed earlier, right? Here, we offer you the fast and very simple bedtime beauty routine for you.

Skip Eye-Makeup Remover
Assuming you’re not shellacking on waterproof mascara and eyeliner for work, you probably don’t need a separate eye-makeup remover for everyday use. Save yourself a step by using a facial cleanser that’s gentle enough to be used around the eye area.

Eye Cream or Eye Mask that can apply on your skin the whole night
Under eye skin is the most fresh and weakest part of your body, so you should pay more attention to eye care. Eye cream is necessary for you every day, don’t forget it. And you can try eye mask once or twice a week. You’d better buy those masks that can apply on your skin the whole night so you don’t have to wait for 20mins to peel it.

Streamline Your Skincare Routine
Focus on finding something ultra-hydrating; scan labels for the ingredients hyaluronic acid, squalene and glycerin. A formula that also contains retinol and/or alpha-hydroxy acids will help minimize fine lines and fade dark patches even as it moisturizes. As for toner, unless your skin is extremely oily, there’s no real benefit to this step.

Use One Super-Powered Hydrator All Over
Truth be told, many overnight creams and lotions contain similar humectant ingredients, which help your skin retain moisture, so there’s no reason you can’t use one great multitasker on all your thirsty zones.

Choose a Less-Fussy Self Tanner
Ironically, “gradual” self-tanners—the kind you use in place of body lotion to build a faux tan over the course of several days—can end up being the faster option if you prefer to tan before bed.

5 Beauty Dos and 5 Beauty Don'ts to get star looks like


Is there anyone said that your looks and wearing are too old and not pretty at all? When someone told you this, don't feel said, they are not laughing at you, they are just giving you some advice to make a change and to get a better-you. We are at an age that is not too young and not too old, however, it's the best time to show a woman's beauty to the world. Your personality, your gorgeous look, your glamour and your perfect skin, all of them are precious things.

You may wondering why the title is 5 Beauty Dos and 5 Beauty Don'ts, because I want to say that each woman can find her own style and beauty, and those who are not beautiful still don't find the right way to show herself. The following tips may help you, if not ,tell those who need these:


  • DON’T wear a headband on your forehead unless you’re playing a hippie at Halloween.
  • DON’T overdo the smoky-eye look. To avoid looking like a Cleopatra clone, remember that a little kohl goes a long way.
  • DON’T leave home without first checking yourself out in the mirror! To avoid lipstick stains on teeth, either blot your lips with tissue or try placing your index finger in your mouth, wrap lips around it and pull straight out to remove excess lipstick.
  • DON’T get carried away with your nail polish. Super-long or hyper-embellished nails are hard to keep in pristine condition and can distract from the real beauty star—you!
  • DON’T go overboard with your beauty routine. Heavily made-up lips, cheeks, skin and eyes can turn even the most gorgeous girl into a bad version of a Barbie doll.


  •       DO sport a simple black headband to add polish to any outfit.
  •       DO focus on great dark liner. If you’re looking to draw attention to your eyes, nothing beats it. By outlining your eyes with a black pencil and keeping shadow close to the base of the lid, you will look glamorous rather than a sparkly version of a Fight Club victim.
  •      DO wear bold red lipstick with your LBD.
  •      DO add a coat of pale polish to dress up your look. Having simply manicured nails is a great way to look pulled together 24/7.
  •        DO rely on a few of your favorite cosmetics to boost your natural beauty. When looking to make a good impression, pick one area—either eyes, lips or cheeks—to emphasize and apply minimal products to the others.



And finally, beauty products including skincare products are must-have to a woman, get to know little by little, and I’d like to tell you what I use, let's share:

Be Careful about Your Neck


We always show great attention to our face, buy different kinds of skin care products for the skin on face, but you may neglect an important part of your body, which will reveal your real age, that’s your neck. In this article, we will take about how to get a youthful neck.


The easiest way to fight back is to slather the ant aging products you're probably already using on your face over your neck, too. You can follow a daily skincare routine that includes washing with a gentle cleanser twice a day and using a moisturizer with SPF 30 in the morning and a hydrating cream at night. To boost collagen production and to fight free radicals, which age your skin, smoothing on a vitamin C-rich serum at least three times a week.

Bronzer is a secret weapon you can use to make the skin on your neck appear tighter and toned. Here's how: Using a large powder brush, sweep bronzing powder up the center of your neck from just above your collarbone toward your chin, suggests makeup artist Sharonah Rapseik, founder of Spa Holistica in New York City.

"Sagging and wrinkles are more pronounced in this area, and the bronzer darkens it a bit, creating a shadow effect that camouflages imperfections." Look for a matte bronzer (sparkly versions will only attract attention) in a shade that will blend in nicely with your natural skin tone.

It's time to exercise your neck muscles, which can tighten and lift your skin,

Sit up straight and tilt your head back so you're looking at the ceiling. Bring your bottom lip up over your top lip, as if you're trying to touch your nose, and hold the position for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times.

- In little lime juice dissolve salt and turmeric and make it into a paste. Apply it on the neck and massage lightly. It acts as a good scrub.
-Take little rice powder and mix vinegar. Before bath apply the mixture to the back and after some tine wash it with water. Repeat the procedure whenever possible. This removes the dirt on the back.
-Apply the egg white to back and neck portions and let it be like that for some time. Later remove it by using the cotton soaked in warm water. Repeat the procedure weekly thrice. It gives good results.
-In the rice boiled water mix chana dal powder and apply it on the neck .When this mixture gets fully dries and separates from the skin by itself remove it with warm water.

Respect Your Body and Love Fashion


You may focus too much on the pressure of life, but ignored what you love to do and get. As a modern woman, we have to think about how to get an amazing life that is full of fulfillment and enjoyment.


On the other hand, have an efficiency life requires each of us to have a very clear list of our priorities. When we are clear about what is most important, spouse, children, career goals, college education, good health, saving money, beauty, etc.  

When we are not clear about our priorities, everything becomes important, we say yes to everything because we aren’t sure about anything’s importance. Just like you want to get freedom, you have to know what kind of freedom you would like to get. Whatever, woman should respect her body, love fashion and keep beauty, young as well as elegant.

How you treat your body is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. 

Choose to be active in what you love doing and engage with others only in ways that make you feel comfortable, so that you can enjoy all that life presents. Never feel guilty for saying “no”. all the things you do should get your approval, No one has a say over what to do with your body without your consent, so make sure to not give it without conscious consideration and forethought.

Have fun with fashion, as it is a tool that is often underutilized.

For women especially, but men to, how we adorn ourselves speaks to our inner self-confidence and speaks to our respect for ourselves without saying one verbal statement. Choose to speak in such a way that is uniquely your own – wear those heels even though your office mates may snicker. Wrap a fabulous statement belt around your waist even though none of your friends would have taken the risk. Be who you are and introduce yourself to the world with exuberance.

Daily Skin Care And Beauty


You will never know when you do your regular beauty and skin care routine, you are making things worse, some of the rules you follow are not correct at all. See the below misunderstandings you may have:

Wash Your Hair Every Day
Only women with fine or oily hair need to wash it every day to prevent strands from getting too greasy or weighed down.

Cover Your Entire Face with Foundation
A flawless face doesn’t have to mean painting it with a heavy coat of product.

Cut Your Nail Cuticles
Cuticles protect the nail matrix (where the nail grows) from exposure to bacteria, and the more you cut them, the more you expose your nails to infection.

Get Your Hair Trimmed Every Six to Eight Weeks
The only women who should abide by this rule are those with short cuts that require maintenance to preserve the style, or women with severe damage from over-bleaching, relaxing or perming hair.

Exfoliate Your Face to Get Rid of Dead Skin
For most of us, reclaiming that youthful glow isn’t a matter of sloughing off skin. Only women with dry, flaky or sun-damaged skin on their faces need to use an exfoliator.

Keep Eyeliner off Your Bottom Lids
The only women who should heed this advice are those with close-set or small eyes, since lining bottom lashes has a tendency to make eyes look even smaller. 

Take a Shower Every Day
Cleanliness may be a virtue, but unless you’re prone to body odors or have exercised until you’re dripping with sweat, you don’t have to lather up daily, getting too squeaky-clean can cause your skin to become parched, especially if you’re using an antibacterial soap.

Use Shampoo First, Then Conditioner 
This morning mantra applies only to women with dry or coarse strands. Those with fine or oily hair should actually condition before they shampoo.

Skip Shimmer Shadow ifYou’re Over 40
Not only can shimmery shadow give your eyes their shining moment by making them stand out, these shadows can also detract from fine lines and imperfections by deflecting light away from the eyes.

The Top Ten Beauty Foods


1. Wild salmon: A primo source for omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce skin inflammation, preventing redness, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. It's also potent in antioxidants and vitamins B and D.

  2. Low-fat yogurt: In one word, calcium. Good for strong bones, nails, and teeth. One cup of plain low-fat yogurt has more calcium than a glass of skim milk.

  3. Oysters: The best source of zinc, period. Zinc helps build collagen, which supports the structure of skin and speeds up renewal and repair.

  4. Blueberries: Full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that prevent long-term cell damage.
5. Kiwifruit: Another good source of antioxidants, kiwis are also a great source of vitamin C and potassium, all which help prevent wrinkles.

  6. Sweet potatoes: Chock-full of beta-carotene, something the body converts to vitamin A, which keeps skin smooth and is thought to protect against sun damage.

  7. Spinach: This nutrient-dense leafy green is a great source of beta-carotene and lutein, which protects the eyes.

  8. Tomatoes: Perhaps the only vegetable best eaten processed. Tomatoes are a major source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant also thought to protect against sunburn.

  9. Walnuts: A key source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. The omega-3s found in walnuts also help fight against skin ailments like psoriasis and eczema.

  10. Dark chocolate: Full of antioxidants and nutrients, cocoa (choose chocolate with at least 60 percent cocoa) increases blood flow to the skin, which in turn boosts hydration, smoothness, and protection against sun exposure. 



What is the skin care treatment?


Each woman want to get a fresher face and have smooth complexion, it will makes you look younger, then how to achieve it? Follow up the below tips, surely won’t let you down.

Steer clear of long, hot showers and cleansers containing solvents like mineral oil or petrolatum. Toss any skincare products with artificial dyes and fragrances, as both are common irritants.

Instead using brushers, use disposable sponges you can toss after each use. And keep a skin correcting powder on hand to spot-treat blotches. 

The proteins found in cow's milk can help to restore normal PH levels and calm your complexion. Also, lactic acid found in milk can gently dissolves dry, dead skin cells to reveal fresher-looking skin. Once a week, soak a soft cloth in a cup of cold milk, gently wring it out and place it over your face for 5 minutes.

SPF 30 (or higher) is your daily shield against sun damage. The trick to wearing it is to find a formula that is non-sticky, goes on clear and isn’t thick or hot to wear. Once you’ve made it a habit to apply sunscreen, you’ll find that pigmentation will be in check and you can start to focus on treatment options for your uneven complexion.

Don’t forget your eyes, apply eye cream or eye mask can reduce wrinkles, puffy eyes and dark circle. Don’t let the skin under eyes “ruin” your face.

Do not forget your goggles in swimming pool. In summer, the incidence of skin infection in swimming pools rises and most pools will increase the amount of chlorine or other chemicals to keep the water safe but this often leads to weepy irritable eyes.
