2) Because these clothes work so well, there is no need for harsh chemicals or expensive treatments to remove your makeup at night.

3) They also allow you to cleanse your skin without drying it out because they won’t strip away all the natural oils to get rid of dirt and grime on the surface level.

How to Wear Boots Well

 

boots and handbags

Boots are the ultimate accessory for Fall and Winter, but there’s no reason you can rock a pair of boots all year round. Whether you’ve invested in a high-quality pair of boots to last a lifetime or you’re changing it up from one season to the next, there are plenty of ways to wear boots well…

Classic Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are a staple in everyone’s closet, and it’s easy to see why. Comfortable, stylish and easy to wear, ankle boots are a go-to shoe which can be incorporated into almost any outfit. While brown or black are the most popular colors, you can find ankle boots in almost any hue you can think of.

If you want to ensure your ankle boots last the test of time, buy high-quality, well-constructed boots and avoid any decorative features, apart from a standard buckle. Zips, buttons and chains are great fashion pieces, but as trends change, they may put your boots out of style. With a pair of classic ankle boots, however, you’ll always be on-trend.

Modern Booties

Designed to end either below the ankle or right on it, booties give your shoe collection a modern twist. Effortlessly versatile, you can pair classic booties with skinny jeans, a statement dress or even a suit for the office. Booties are commonly available in either a stiletto heel or a low, block heel, so it’s easy to find a pair that suits your needs. If you don’t find stilettos comfortable, a block heel will give you extra support and boost your confidence too.

Mid-Calf Boots

Although mid-calf boots are available in thousands of styles, they can be tricky to wear. Rain boots, Ugg boots, cowboy boots and harness boots are all typically found in a mid-calf style, so they’re easier to wear with a casual outfit. If you’re out in bad weather, rain boots can be a comfortable and waterproof choice, whilst Ugg boots are great for relaxing in indoors. Harness boots and cowboy boots can be twinned with jeans, jodhpurs, leggings or even dresses and skirts, but be careful where the hemline ends. To ensure you can wear your boots in style, pick up a pair of seamless cotton and bamboo socks for women. Giving you maximum comfort, your feet will remain warm and dry, no matter how long you wear your boots for.

Knee Boots

Knee-high boots are a fantastic option for anyone because they can easily be dressed up or dressed down. Low-heeled knee highs can be great to walk in, particularly if they’re coupled with a pair of walking socks. Alternatively, if you want to add glamour to an outfit, opt for a knee-high boot with some added height. Available with stiletto, block and wedge heels, there is a knee-high option for everyone. Perfect with jeans, skinny trousers, leggings, skirts or dresses, they’re exceptionally versatile and comfortable, which is why they’re one of the most popular styles on the market.

Crave Smooth Skin You Can Be Proud Of? This Blog Is Just For You!

beautiful woman smooth skin

Every woman deserves to love the skin they’re in. Unfortunately, it’s one of the hardest things to achieve in terms of beauty. After all, your skin is continually exposed to the elements and other factors that can cause negativity. The good news, however, is that you can still achieve the desired look.

Use the simple steps in this guide for guidance, and you’ll be amazed at the results.

Protecting The Skin From Damage

Prevention is the best form of protection. So, if you want to keep your skin looking great, you should look for ways to reduce the amount of damage experienced in daily life. There are many ways to achieve this, including:

  • Always wear the right protection for your skin type and natural surroundings. Whether it’s sun lotion in the height of summer or a barrier cream in winter doesn’t matter. Protecting the delicate layers of skin is vital.
  • Stay hydrated and avoid spending too long in the shower. These simple tips prevent dry skin and will keep you in a far better overall situation. Using fragrance-free cleansers is another hugely beneficial step to consider.
  • Use anti-aging creams before bed to stop lines appearing prematurely. Even if you don’t show any signs yet, it’s better to stay on top of the situation rather than try to treat it once it’s too late. A thin layer is all that’s required.

Actively Rejuvenating The Skin

While it pays to prevent skin damage wherever possible, you will still see the effects on a regular basis. Treating the skin in appropriate fashion will make a significant impact. The best ways to do this include:

  • Using a derma roller as part of your daily beauty ritual to actively encourage rejuvenation of the skin. The tiny pricks promote collagen production and support other treatments. This provides a winning foundation for your daily routine.
  • Use facial masks at home. Whether it’s a store-bought product or a homemade natural creation that you’ve found on YouTube doesn’t matter. The benefits of applying the right product for your skin are very noticeable indeed.
  • Treat yourself to a spa day on a semi-frequent basis. A handful of treatments each year can truly transform the appearance and smoothness of the skin. The benefits extend far beyond your skin and can restore a sense of happiness to your world.

Going Beyond The Skin

While directly treating the skin is essential, you shouldn’t end your commitment there. The skin is the largest organ, covering your entire body. As such, it makes sense that you should focus on your overall wellness too:

  • Stay fit and healthy, following a balanced diet and getting regular exercise. From preventing stretching to opening up the pores, the benefits can be huge. Besides, you’ll feel far happier in yourself as a direct result.
  • Consider your hair style and color. The impact of the right choices won’t only influence the hair itself. It shapes the face and can complement your natural skin tone and appearance as well as the eyes. Embrace it.
  • Attend to health concerns. Your skin plays a hugely important role, and will reflect your health in general. Therefore, it’s important to seek medical support whenever you experience problems. Aside from helping your skin, it’ll aid your general health.

Don’t Get Frustrated! Refresh Your Hair Care Routine

frustrated woman dreamstime.com

As we begin to say good-bye to summer and welcome in the fall, it’s time to take a look at what needs a refresher with our hair care routine. Correcting hair and skin damage from the sun and maintaining healthy hair into the fall doesn’t happen overnight; it takes some preparation to keep hair looking shiny and strong.

Below are a few tips from NYC/Miami Hair Stylist, Lucy Garcia Planck, on how to suppress summer hair damage and keep it looking shiny and healthy as we move into fall:

  1. Mend Hair Damage with Split End Sealer: It’s important to keep your hair as moist as possible. Air-conditioned spaces are a sure way to zap the moisture out of your hair.  One of the things I love to help combat this is coconut oil for split ends. Use about a teaspoon and start at the ends working your way up to the root; leave in for about an hour and shampoo. The coconut oil will help keep hair hydrated, silky and shiny.
  2. Biotin Supplements: Biotin is a natural supplement that many people don’t get enough of and that could be a contributing factor to dry, brittle hair. I always tell my clients to take biotin year round to maintain a strong, healthy glow to their hair and it also helps with split ends. I love using and always recommend Vitafusion Gorgeous Hair, Skin and Nails is a great-tasting gummy multivitamin containing 12 key nutrients, including Biotin and Vitamins C and E to help nourish beautiful hair, skin, and nails from the inside out.
  3. Cold Water Rinse:  After shampooing, use a cold-water rinse, which closes up the cuticle and keeps your hair shiny. Not only does it feel good after a long day out at the beach, but the cold water really helps keeping your hair healthy.
  4. Tame Frizz with Coconut Milk Leave-in Conditioner: The natural oils inside of the coconut are what keeps frizz in check. All of the vitamins and minerals that are in the coconut keep the frizz tamed. The leave in conditioner also protects the hair from the blow dryer and other styling tools. As with the oils, I would advise not to use a leave-in conditioner if you have fine hair, as it will make it greasy. For those with fine hair, I would suggest using a mousse instead. Use a dime-sized amount of leave in conditioner and work throughout your hair, paying special attention to the ends.
  5. SOFTENING DRY HAIR WITH AN AVOCADO MASK: Avocado has fatty acids that make hair soft. It’s great to make a paste with avocado and coconut oil. Put in 2 teaspoons of avocado (mashed) or in a blender and 1 tsp of coconut oil. Blend the two together for a few seconds or until smooth. You can even warm up the paste a little bit and leave it in your hair for approximately 30-60 minutes. Start at the top of your roots and work your way down. You can also use aloe vera from a real plant. Using the same ratio of above, mixing the aloe vera with the coconut oil. Both are excellent hydrators for your hair. These “masks” leave hair very shiny and silky. Anyone can make these at home.

The Simplest Ways You Can Put A Big Smile On Your Own Face

 

happy smile

How good would it be if we didn’t have to worry about stuff? The strange thought is almost unfathomable due to the fact that we’ve all been through the wringer at times in our lives. It’s understandable that in order to be given some happiness and satisfaction, we need to go through some kind of adversity or hard work first, but that doesn’t stop those tougher times from being a real pain in the backside!

When we’re a little down in the dumps – or just feeling a little numb and indifferent for that matter, it can be a little difficult to get back to our old, chirpy ways. Fortunately, there are things we can all do that can boost our moods. They don’t even have to be much effort, either. Getting the brain stimulated a little can be enough to put the smiles back on our faces. Wanna know some ways you can do this stuff? Cool! Here are some ideas:

Start A Passion Project!

When we have something to really sink our teeth into, just getting stuck into it all can make us feel better. Having something to do, and having a real purpose in life feels wonderful; that sense of belonging is priceless. Now, imagine the project you’re doing is around something you’ve always loved. Imagine the idea of turning a love of yours into a business venture or into something that can make a real difference to others. Good, huh?

Try New Things

Attempting entirely new things and adding that variety into your life might make a huge difference to the way you view yourself and other things. If you find something you really like: amazing! If you try something and fail: also amazing because you gave something a go!

You could try to additions to your look, too. Some don’t have a problem with this; others struggle to move away from their norm, however. Maybe you want a completely new ensemble, or you want to try a new vegan foundation, whatever it is you do, if you look hard enough, you’ll find something that makes you feel good!

Socialize With People Online

This can be done almost instantly. Obviously, you don’t want to find just anyone or dig deep into uncharted territory; the internet houses some strange people! But there are millions of chatty people online just waiting to get to know you or, at the very least, waiting to make someone’s day with a few jokes.

Meditate

It’s not for everyone, but if you want to feel happier as well as develop a healthy mind, then it could be something for you to try. The practice of training your mind into being able to handle whatever gets thrown at it is surely something that you’d like to have a go at, right? Being able to redirect your thoughts and worry less is a skill that everyone should have!

Listen To Relaxing Stuff

This is becoming more and more popular thanks to podcasts and YouTube videos. We all like different noises: some like the rain, some like the sea, some like the jungle – find what you like and give it a listen. Something will relax you and make you feel better.
