Wendy's "Beauty Basics"

While beauty does "begin from within", taking care of our outer selves is also key to feeling great.  Try the ideas below to put your best face forward!

* Red wine isn't just healthy for your heart.  It's an amazing beauty treatment! Pour a little in your tub for silky smooth skin, or apply to clean skin in the evening and leave on overnight. Fights free radicals and helps to stop signs of aging.

* For dry hair, mash one ripe banana with a teaspoon of almond oil and massage in to dry or damp hair. Let sit for 20 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

* For oily hair, mix equal amounts of aloe vera gel and shampoo, plus a tablespoon of lemon juice.

* Drink lots of water!! Great for skin, hair, nails, and flushing out harmful toxins. For extra cleansing benefits, add some lemon.

* Get sparkling, beautiful teeth by mixing a little baking soda in the palm of your hand with a few drops of water.  Use as a "paste" once or twice a week to whiten and brighten.

* In a hurry and no time to do your eye-makeup?  Instead apply a deeper shade of lipstick.  I like to use a "stain" for a long lasting look.  Choose shades of red or berry for the greatest impact.

* Great skin doesn't need foundation.  Instead, apply a little tinted moisturizer, blending well.  Then apply a little cream blush or tint in a rosy shade.  Beautiful and natural looking! 

* I really like the newer mineral make-ups.  Even though some have been around for ages, the newer products are much improved and provide a wonderfully even, flawless yet-natural look. 

* To warm up all skin tones, replace your regular blush with a bronzer.  I prefer the powders, as they can be applied more precisely.  Use a big, round blush brush and sparingly apply to the apples of the cheeks, working upwards.  Add more as needed, blending well. 

* Make eyes stand out by curling lashes.  (Always do this before applying mascara.)  Finish with a little soft yellow or beige eyeshadow along the lashline.
