The Beauty Geek

So I have had a fair number of personnel read my potato entry and ask:

Why are Potatoes considered great? What makes them so unique? Etc.

Well here is your final answer! (Almost)

*** it is found that in potatoes there are anti-aging agents so it helps with anti-again! As well as potatoes are well known to have a natural bleaching agent so if you have blemished skin, pigmentation, redness, uneven skin tones, a potato mask would be fabulous for your skin!***

*** Also, if you suffer from dark circles, genetically or whether its brought on by health issues, potatoes on the eyes will help with decreasing the swelling and toning down the dark colour!***

So next time your in your local supermarket, grab a few extra potatoes and spoil yourself! It will relax and make you feel great!

Product Expiry

Are You Keeping A Close Eye On Expiry Dates?

Some people don't look at the expiry dates on their make-up, skin care products etc. It is essential to find out the expiry date because you do not want to put anything on your face or close to your eyes that have expired because it could lead to other damage and breakouts. May even cause a reaction.

Feeling Stuffy? Not Able To Breathe?

Fighting A Stuffy Nose

Make an instant steam remedy by putting 3 to 5 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil on a washcloth, then placing the washcloth in the tub while you shower. The steam from the hot water will release the essential oil which vapourizes into the air and will help clear the sinuses.

~DYK? Did You Know?~

Jojoba Oil:

This oil helps eliminate wrinkles and stretch marks. Regular application of the oil makes your skin velvety smooth. It is also good for acne and other similar skin diseases. Since jojoba oil balances production of oil in the human body hence, it is good for people who have oily skin.

The Secret of A Potato!

Potatoes

Potatoes Vs. Puffy Eyes!

Potatoes are great for puffy eyes :) They say there is a certain compound in potatoes that’s been shown to help reduce swelling and puffiness. Using a vegetable peeler or a knife, shred a small amount of potato, let it chill in the fridge for a while, and then place the chilled potatos under your eyes. For the next 15 minutes or so, sit and read a good book or watch a little television. When you remove the potatoes, voila! Your eyes look great!

Tips Of The Trade!

Tip #1 ~Getting the Glow~

*There are times when we are jealous of "the perfect skin"

and would love to know how she is able to keep her skin looking so radiant. Well

here is the trick! To keep your face hydrated and looking its best always

exfoliate and hydrate. So no matter what time of day in the holiday season and

how cold it is you should always have the moisturizer handy for those tough

mornings when your running late.

Tip#2 ~Plump Gorgeous Lips

* Lip Gloss is your best friend during the winter months.

What I would recommend is put on some lip moisturizer as a base and then as your

lip gloss so that way you create a barrier so the cold winter chills and weather

doesn't chap your lips. As well as you are able to apply more after you eat and

it won't run away from you! Lip gloss should be your best friend along with your

moisturizer for the holidays!!

Tip #3 ~To Get The Gorgeous Make-Up Look~

* Everyone is going to pick something different for the

holiday look. That is why it is so flexible and functional for everyone. I would

choose the Sugar Plum Purples, The Evergreen Greens , The Silver and Golds work

well as well. You want it to be shimmery so don't be afraid to add that shimmer!

Also, while your mingling this holiday season you don't want to be talking and

having your mascara smearing so add some mineral powder under the eyes. You

produce natural oils on the skin so the mineral makeup will help get rid of any

unwanted oil throughout the night. Then there is the blush... Go Rosy this

season! There is nothing better then to show off a nice rosy cheek face
