6 Beauty Tricks That Magically Rejuvenate You
Reduce your under-eye bags
By now, I think most of us are aware of the miraculous properties of cold cucumber or potato slices applied on our eyes for at least 10 minutes. After all, there’s a reason why we always see this practice in movies, right?
This trick really works because the cold temperature of the veggie constricts blood vessels, thus reducing swelling. As a plus, your skin may also benefit from the nutrients found in these common vegetables. Alternatively, you can also place a bag of peas directly from the freezer as it has the same effect on your blood vessels.
However, not everyone has time for this beauty treatment twice a day – and if you’re like me, you might not enjoy the idea of sticking ice-cold stuff on your face either. In this case, you can use an eye cream designed for puffy eyes which takes literally seconds to apply and might work wonders.
The main guideline for choosing the right products are to look for as many natural ingredients as possible (green tea extracts and Dead sea minerals can be beneficial for puffy eyes).
Throw away the powder
Using powder on your face is a great option… if you want to look like a member of the Adams family. While it was a real trend at some point, the beauty industry evolved enough to realize that powder can even make a 20-year old look ten years older.
What does work are creamy formulations that help you add contour to your most beautiful facial features. Look for liquid foundations and try as many shades as possible until you find just the right one; sometimes, your ideal shade could be a combination between two types of foundation, which is again perfectly fine!
But the real treasure that can make any face young and radiant are illuminators. ‘Old’ faces are usually sagged and darkened by under-eye bags or dark spots. A good illuminator like this one can make your skin glow and lift your facial features in key areas (such as the cheekbones).
