Beauty Secrets

1. Dry lips can be caused by your toothpaste. Some people change their lipstick when their lips peel, but the real cause could be the toothpaste you’re using. Try kid’s toothpaste or herbal toothpaste and see if it gets better.  

2. Skincare products expire after one year after first use. Eye make-up products expire after six months. Skin make-up products expire after a year after first use. Anything with colour, like lipstick and eyeshadow, can last about two years. By all means, check the texture, colour and smell of the product, and if it seems different, don’t use it.   

3. If you have extremely dry skin, the first thing you do is stop applying powder, foundation and cheek colour. You can still wear mascara and eyeshadow, but leave the skin alone. Your skin’s dryness could be a reaction to the product you’re using. It can also be the dairy products that you consume.  

4. To lose weight fast, do weight training to build muscles. An hour of cardio workout burns less calories than 30 minutes of weight training. It also gives you a leaner and firmer body. If you want to get in shape, do weight training followed by 30 minutes of cardio workout.

5. If you have lines and wrinkles, avoid using powder highlighter, especially one with pearly particles. The more you use it, the more visible your lines are. If your skin is not smooth, the powder can crease on the skin, making your skin look dirty and patchy. If you want to use highlighter, pick a creamy one which is easier to control and apply. It also gives a smoother finish.
