BEAUTY TIPS

These days everyone wants to look younger and have that youthful glow,though most people are going about it the wrong way. Nowadays people are obsessed with products which will reduce the signs of aging particularly on the face but unfortunately these expensive products do not work as well as they claim.
Here are some tips that can help you with looking young and radiant:

#1 DO NOT USE HOT WATER TO WASH YOUR FACE AND BODY
The hot water usually dries out your skin and with prolonged use ages you faster as well. I am in no way telling you to bath/ shower with extremely cold water what you should do is wash your face with cold water then wash your body with lukewarm water. You can not just deal with your face only, your body is part of the package as well so you would also not want your body to age faster than your face.

#2 USING ROSE WATER ON YOUR FACE
Rose water has been proven to deeply clean your pores and prevent acne. It can also be used as make up remover. The best time to use rose water on your face is at night during your night time routine. The rose water should be used after washing your face with soap. Prolonged usage of the rose water makes your skin really smooth. The good thing about it is that it is known to be a powerful mood enhancer. The other great thing is that it comes cheap and is not at all bank breaking.

This is the rose water I use.

 This rose water only cost me Ksh 60 ($ 0.68). Basically this was the only brand I found in the store but it has turned out to be really good.

#3 AVOID EXCESSIVE MAKEUP

Excessive make up totally ages you so much and make you look a lot older than you probably are. I suggest if you are gonna put make up avoid putting a lot of foundation as this tends to clog up your pores plus it also makes your face look artificial. Make up was invented to enhance beauty and not to make you look like a clown. You don't need layers and layers of foundation as this also causes you to break out.

#4 USE RAW AFRICAN SHEA BUTTER

Do not use those lotions that tell you that it contains Shea butter because you are not going to get the full benefits of it. 100% Raw Shea butter does not have a sweet fragrance it kind of smells like cocoa. The benefits of 100% raw Shea butter are:

• Helps clear stretch marks
• Helps clear blemishes and black spots
• Moisturizes and softens the skin
• A natural anti-aging agent
• Helps the skin glow naturally 
• Rejuvenates the skin

It is also good for hair (all types of hair). Do not use those lotions that claim to have Shea butter as they are mixed with many other chemicals and will not give you the full benefits.

This is the Shea butter I use.

The best 100% raw Shea butter come from Ghana. I bought this at about Ksh 900 ($ 10.23). This specific tin lasts a really long time. 

#5 DO NOT USE HARSH SOAPS ON YOUR FACE

Using harsh soaps on your face will dry it out a lot and you will not see any improvements. So try and buy really gentle soaps.

These tips really work as my mother who is in her mid 40's does not have a single wrinkle on her and she is the one who introduced me to these tips. Thank you mum I love you.

Till next time
