How to always look beautiful & handsome

WAKE UP CALL
Slough and soak to soften. During your
morning shower, exfoliate dead skin cells
before using your favorite body wash. Keep
showers quick and the temp not too hot to
minimize oil loss. Pat your body dry with a soft towel,
and, for the finishing touch, apply your favorite fragrant
lotion, heated with a hairdryer. Let your skin drink up as
much as it can for the ultimate in smooth skin... and
while you are at it, drink a glass of water, too. The more
hydrated you are on the inside, the more you will
radiate on the outside.
Befriend concealer.
Brighten up your entire face with dabs of
concealer. Use it on the inner and outer
corners of eyes to mask dark circles, the outer
sides of nostrils to cover deep pores and redness, and
the sides of lips to fill in lines. Follow it up with a light
blend of foundation plus moisturizer (both oil free with
sun protection) to achieve a smooth, even skin tone.
And always use clean makeup brushes!

Tame your brows.
Well-groomed brows are the key to a polished
look. Regularly wax, thread or tweeze and
perform maintenance as needed. If you are
tweezer shy and only trust the pros, conceal stray hairs
with a swipe of bronzer on your browbone in between
appointments.
Experiment.
Seasonally (or more if you dare), replace your
favorite color product, be it lip gloss, eye liner
or shadow, with something new to feel re-
energized.
DAYTIME DUTIES
Become a survivor.
Assemble your "can't live without it" kit
consisting of three must-have beauty items
such as lip gloss, mascara, blotting papers,
concealer or a hairbrush. Create a few kits to stash in
key places -- your desk drawer, your glove
compartment and your purse for touch-ups.
A pinch goes a long way.
Pinch your cheeks and your lips just before
you want to make a great impression. This
teeny moment of pain will yield huge payoffs as
both areas will fill with a natural rosy color guaranteed
to make you glow.
Let your inner beauty shine outward.
All day long, be mindful of your stature. Stand
up straight with your shoulders back. Walk tall
and think positive thoughts. Offer up your
happiest smile, complete with whitened teeth (skip the
dark beverages or use a straw) and lips moisturized
with lip balm and glistening with your favorite gloss.
SWEET DREAMS
Come clean.
No matter how tired you are or how close the
sun is to rising, wash and moisturize your face
before you hit the pillow to detox your
precious pores of all of the dirt that has accumulated
during the day. At the very least, start with baby steps:
Tuck a pack of makeup remover wipes in your
nightstand.
Preserve your perfect manicure.
Apply a clear topcoat every other night post-
manicure to help your fabulous color polish
stay chip free for as long as possible. Also,
when doing dishes, using gloves will save your polish
too... not to mention help you avoid the curse of dry,
dishpan hands.
Bye bye, bedhead. Rule #1: Don't go to bed
with wet hair -- it increases the risk of hair
breakage. Rule #2: Brush your hair before bed
with a clean hairbrush (give it a soapy water
bath once a week). Rule #3: Add a few drops of your
favorite serum to fight morning
