Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The skin is inevitably changed over the years. You need to adjust care and make-up style to these changes.

Skin is in its best condition when a person is about some twenty years old. You should already know which your skin type is in this period of life and start using appropriate products. Forget smoking because it affects the premature aging of the skin. Avoid foundation and powder. Emphasize the eyes, lips and cheeks.

First signs of skin damages can be seen in your thirties. Use vitamin products, for example, moisturizer coloured cream. You will need a concealer, too, a foundation, a cream blush and a few lipsticks in various colours. Women in their forties have to use intensive moisturizer cream twice a day. After make-up, rub a little day cream (onto the make-up). In this way you will create a protective moisturizing layer and a younger look. Use a foundation. Your lips should be brighter and put some blush on the cheeks, in rosy tones. Do not use make-up containing sparkles.

Apart from facial, body care is also important. Body peeling based on papaya makes skin soft: papaya enzymes eliminate the defunct cells. After this treatment the skin is brighter and shinier. Hot water releases best intensive aromas of petals that influence the organ of smell and nervous system. It is best to use the rose petals. Mix 3 drops of rose oil, 10 drops of essential oil and 100 ml. of jojoba oil and finally add a few rose leaves. Use such mixture as a bath. For rejuvenation use the following treatment: massage of the whole body, peeling based on spices, a hair treatment mask based on yogurt and a fragrant bath.

Begin with the body massage (about 30min.), using your favorite oil. Use a following peel: 2 spoons of rice flour, and three drops of each – sandalwood oil and jasmine oil with water. In the end, massage 300ml. of yogurt into the skin (5 min.) and then rinse with water.

Apart from everyday care of face and body, do not forget the neck and décolleté. Breasts are very gentle. You should have strong pectoral muscles in order to be beautiful. Sometimes it is enough just to rub a body lotion after every shower. If you want to lift your breasts use some special products containing ingredients which lift the skin such as silicon and herbal extracts. By using some special masks rich in minerals breasts lift and become firm, and neckline skin – smooth. Before the mask, apply the cream that stimulates and hydrates cells, and then cover the breasts with the gauze where you have put a mask rich in minerals. After 20 min. the hardened mask is removed and the skin becomes smooth.

Advantages and Disadvantages

If you have freckles, do not hide them. Choose rosy lipsticks.
If you have thin lips, draw them using a lip liner in the same colour as your lips. Use lipsticks in bright colours and emphasize the middle part of the lips (by applying a darker lipstick to this part).
If your face is small use make-up in pastel tones, peach, baby pink.
If you have a round face do not try to make your face look thinner visually. Emphasize your eyes (by using an eye crayon and shadows in various colors) and lips (by using lipsticks in vivid colours).
If you have fair complexion be proud of it and forget selftanning products.
