How to Take Care of Your Beauty and Health like a Pro!

Hello beauties,
Have you ever rolled out of bed and looked at the mirror, admiring your own gorgeous face? No? Well, then you’re missing out on a lot of fun. As women, we are bombarded with the pressure to look good everywhere we turn. From our hair and face to our clothes and style, constant perfection is expected. So, we spend our days admiring celebrities who are seemingly flawless, wondering why nature hasn’t gifted us with such good genes. Ah, but this is the wrong way to look at things. You can’t compare yourself to photoshopped images of celebrity ladies in fashion magazines. You will never look like that, and that’s because not even those celebrities look like that. They are, after all, just people. However, they are people who work hard on their looks and their health, and that’s absolutely something you can do yourself. So, if you want to know how to take care of yourself like the gorgeous queen that you are, read on. 

Skincare before all 
You can wear makeup all you like, but there’s never going to be a substitute for simply having good skin. Stop treating it as an afterthought and really dedicate time to good skincare. First, never go to bed without taking your makeup off. Mary J. Blige advises that you should never go a day without washing your face, and that’s pretty good general advice. Use micellar water and never rub the skin around your eyes. Gentle, swiping motions are enough. Make sure to wash your face twice a day, and use a quality moisturizer that’s suited to your skin type. If your skin is dry, you may want to incorporate a serum into your skincare routine, which will give it that extra dose of hydration. If you have problems with acne and regular treatments don’t work for you, try the popular oil treatment that a lot of people swear by.

Become a hot fitness diva 
Getting fit sounds like a chore, but it’s actually something that can be amazingly fun and there’s just no way not to love the results. Working out means having more energy, being stronger and looking better. And you don’t even have to go to the gym to accomplish that. A lot of celebrities don’t set their foot in the gym. The Brazilian beauty Gisele Bündchen is known for her amazing yoga skills, so there’s no reason not to listen to one of the most famous supermodels in the world. You can also exercise in the comfort of your own home, or you can sign up for something fun like salsa classes, or kickbox. If you want to be like the sexy supermodel Elle Macpherson or famous actress Cate Blanchett ride a bike daily. These famous Aussie celebrities know how easy it is to stay fit with a bike, and since electric bikes in Australia are gaining popularity, you could follow the Australian example and get one yourself. These bikes look really cool and they come with many benefits, so it’s definitely something to consider.

Treat makeup like art 
Too many women treat makeup as a tool that will get them through the day. We usually only apply it before we’re about to go out, but the moment makeup becomes truly fun is when you start playing with it in your free time. When there’s no rush and no one to impress we can use it to truly express ourselves and have loads of fun. You’ll never become good at makeup unless you allow yourself to experiment and try new things. The same goes for hair, and honestly, anything else you do. Style your hair like the models on the runway, paint your face in bright colors and learn about what you like and what suits you, wear things that you were afraid to wear before. You can’t figure things out if you never try them.

Have a balanced diet 
The benefits of a good diet don’t stop at weight loss. Improved mood, clearer skin, and better overall health are all reasons you need to pay attention to what you eat. The trick is to find a diet that you can actually enjoy. The biggest issue people tend to have is that we’re too used to processed foods and insane amounts of sugar that can be found in practically every single product out there. So, when presented with something simple such as a piece of fruit, we’re underwhelmed. Eating healthy requires a period of adjustment, but once you throw out all the bad food from your daily menu, you’ll start craving the healthy stuff and wondering how on earth can people eat things that are so full of sugar. Cook as much as you can, there are many easy recipes out there and cut down on candy and snacks. 

More than anything, the best way to accomplish your goals is to simply be willing to try things. Worrying and stress will get you nowhere, the path to beauty and health lies in confidence and taking a time to take care of yourself no matter where you are.
