Get Your Nails Done
If you think getting a manicure and pedicure is
optional - think again. Visit a salon and ask one of the professionals to give
you the works. They prevent hangnails and nail damage and get rid of ugly
overgrown cuticles. The procedures involve massaging your hands, feet, and
legs.
After a long day and hurrying around, a sexy mani-pedi
gives your look polish and style. Most last for up to two weeks. Getting one
done regularly is therapeutic.
Put on Red Lips
Scientific studies prove lipsticks boost your
confidence and make you feel good. When you feel good about yourself, your body
looks good too.
In 2011, researchers from Boston University and Harvard
University found that women who wore makeup felt confident. And they were
perceived to be more reliable and competent to other people.
Another study conducted in France in 2013 found that
“red lips highlighted increased estrogen levels, sexual arousal, and
health." Yes, red lipstick increases the positive perception of our faces!
Work on Your Glow
There is a genuine reason why most bodybuilders and
models are perfectly tanned. Tanning helps you look well-toned and trim, and
gives your skin a radiant and healthy glow. You have so many options when you
want to get tanned – from a DIY tanning product to visiting your nearest
tanning salon.
Lying down in the sun and baking for hours is bad for
you so try fake tans and tanning lotions as alternatives. Work toward getting
your skin tone even with these products. Moisturize often and consider body
spray tanning if you're showing off a lot of skin on a special occasion.
Hydrate Regularly
We keep hearing how important it is to drink at least
eight glasses of water every day. Your body is 70 percent water, so keep it
hydrated to function at an optimum level.
When you don't drink enough water, your kidneys don't
function properly placing stress on your liver. And a stressed liver struggles
to filter toxins from your body.
Staying hydrated ensures that your skin is radiant and
your body works correctly. Feeling good makes you look good.
Put on Heels
Are you wearing you sexy bandage dress for the party?
If yes, pair it with a pair of heels or stilettos. Wearing heels makes you
taller, and accentuates your legs, making them look longer and leaner. High
heels will also enhance your confidence.
Did you know wearing stilettos improves your sex life?
Dr. Maria Cerruto, an Italian urologist, said, “Women often have difficulty in
carrying out the right exercises for the pelvic zone and wearing heels is a
good solution."
Like many women, I like high-heeled shoes. And it’s
good to know they have potential health benefits too!
Moisturize
Your skin helps regulate your body temperature and
importantly acts as a barrier against harmful UV rays, germs, and infection.
To do these jobs properly your skin needs to be well
hydrated, and this means you should moisturize regularly. Moisturizers curb the
loss of water in the outermost layer of your skin, the epidermis. They also
enhance the appearance of your skin and improve its texture almost instantly.
Exfoliate
Exfoliation is a cosmetic procedure that unclogs your
pores by removing the dead skin cells from your epidermis. Exfoliating has a
lot of benefits – it reduces breakouts on your skin, reduces the appearance of
fine lines as well as wrinkles, helps retain your tan, and keeps your skin
healthy. You can exfoliate using readymade scrubs, exfoliating gloves, or a
pumice stone.
There are so many exfoliating products available on the
market today, choose one, and you can perform this procedure at home.
When you want something more powerful, head to your dermatologist.
A doctor from the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Mark Edinburgh
explains, “Specially formulated skin peels are more effective than
microdermabrasion but involve a few days of visible peeling skin.”
Get a Haircut
Socialite and philanthropist Evelyn Lauder once said,
“One of the most important things about looking youthful is to have a modern
haircut.” And it is true! You feel like a new person after getting a new
haircut. What’s more, getting a haircut is also good for your hair – it gets
rids of split ends and encourages it to grow.
If you want to do something completely different, get
your hair colored. Say goodbye to the old, and hello to the new you!
Hire a Stylist
We all have different body shapes. Apple-shaped women
have slimmer hips and broader chests and waists. Pear-shaped women have more
full hips and narrower waists. Want to know how you can look thinner and leaner
without losing any weight?
The clothes that make you look curvy dramatically
depend on your body shape. Find the right dress fit to accentuate the best
parts of your body, and voila! Wearing correctly fitted clothes helps you look
good, and it makes you feel good about yourself.
Visit the Sauna
A sauna has so many benefits in addition to a place
where you can relax and unwind. Regular visits to the sauna do great things for
your body.
How your body gets rids of the toxins is through sweat.
And that is just what you do in a sauna, sweat. You sweat a lot which means you
are flushing toxins out of your body.
Additionally, saunas improve your immune system by
producing white blood cells.
Still debating whether you should visit the sauna this
weekend? Saunas deep clean your skin and they are also a great way to relieve
all the stress on your body. Do yourself a favor, and book an appointment at
the sauna today!
Detox
Detoxification or detox is a medicinal or physiological
removal of toxic substances from the human body.
Detox diets are trendy, and there are many to choose.
Some allow you to drink only liquids, while others encourage you to eat certain
vegetables and fruits.
Although difficult to follow, the right detox done
properly can leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated with increased energy
levels and improved cognitive capacity.
Whether these diets work or not is still under debate.
Dr. Michelle Schoffro, author of the book ‘The 4-Week Ultimate Body Detox’,
says, “When done correctly, detox diets support the body’s natural detoxification
systems through food and lifestyle choices.”
Try one for yourself and see if it works.
And in conclusion
Jennifer Love Hewitt once said, "The fun part of
being a girl is that there are little beauty things you can do to make yourself
feel special."
Always remember however to keep your body fit and
healthy. There is no substitute for a balanced diet and exercise to get you
feeling sexy and alluring. Otherwise, these quick fixes and routines will help
you look great when pressed for time.
