Raspberries and Coconut Oil for Brighter Lips
If you want brighter and shiny lips, then raspberries and coconut oil do the needed magic. With this, you can say bye to your lip balm and other cosmetics. All you have to do is to warm one tablespoon of coconut oil until it turns to the liquid state. Once you are done warming the oil, the next step is adding four to five fresh and frozen red raspberries and mashing it until it is a smooth mixture. Once done, you need to place the mixture in a container and refrigerate it until it gets firm. It works as a natural lip balm giving you the glow and natural tinge your lips deserve.

Next time you are done using the tea bag, do not throw it, instead refrigerate and use them to get rid of tired and puffy eyes. It is quite understood that long working hours can make your eyes puffy thus making your face look drained. Chilled tea bags do the magic by calming those tired and drained pupils. All you need to do is keep two green or black tea bags in hot water for about a minute or two. Once done, remove it and cool it in a small bowl and put it in the refrigerator. Once the bags are chilled, place them on your eyelids for at least 10-15 minutes. It is a wonderful natural beauty for women tip and should be considered whenever you feel tired.

It works by hydrating your skin, thus giving it the glow it deserves.

Shanaya: I know, from personal experiences when I was a teenager and still learning about all this beauty – that make-up, especially, DOES NOT go well on skin that is not taken well care of.
 Whether you are dry, oily, combination or whatever – if you do not take good care of your skin, then it will show through other beauty regimes that you do (make-up, tanning, hair removal etc).
1. Detoxify:
Your skin is a reflection of your overall health. It is the body’s largest organ, and it is an elimination organ. Toxins inside your body can make the skin on the outside of your body look less than beautiful.
When you eat foods with toxic ingredients, it is naturally reflected in your skin. The Beauty Detox Solution creates health and beauty because it has a strong element of detoxification to it.
When you detoxify your body, the results show on your skin.
Detoxification is an ongoing process – though periodic cleanses, properly designed and conducted can help launch you into a healthier long-term lifestyle. To detoxify:
Drink hot water with lemon every morning
Drink the fiber-rich
Avoid processed and fast foods that contain chemical ingredients
Stick to organic whenever possible (research grapefruit seed extract uses)
Exercise (but not to excess)
Take magnesium oxygen at bedtime
Eat enzyme-rich foods
Take probiotics
Eat a high plant-based diet (or all, as I do)
Drink a lot of water and avoid excessive caffeine
2. Nourish:
We’ve all heard the adage, you are what you eat. While this is true throughout your body, it is especially visible on your skin.
Eating toxic, chemical-laden foods can show up on your skin, leaving it dull, dry and flaky. Poor nutrition can also speed up wrinkling and cause breakouts.
Nourishing your skin begins from the inside with the foods you eat. Because the skin is an organ, it requires nutrients to maintain vibrant health.
3. Cleanse:
Keeping your skin clean is also important. Many people use harsh cleansers that can actually strip the skin of important hydration and leave it dull. Use a mild cleanser.
Because I have oily skin and used to battle acne, I used to think I needed a stronger cleanser. But now I’ve been using and love the Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser (200 ml) (it cleans my face really well, but doesn’t strip it).
It works for all skin types. I don’t recommend using very drying cleansers or regular soaps on your face.
4. Exfoliate:
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells on the surface of your skin that can cause dullness. You don’t need to buy expensive products or use harsh chemical exfoliators, however.
You probably have a natural skin exfoliation agent right now in your kitchen: oatmeal.
Oatmeal both soothes and exfoliates. To make an oatmeal exfoliation mask, mix ¾ cups of ground oat groats (grind them in the food processor), or steel cut oatmeal with 1/3 cup of warm water and spread it on your skin. Allow it to dry, and then rinse off with warm water.
Another great natural exfoliator for the skin is raw organic apple cider vinegar. It contains alpha-hydroxy acids and can also balance the skin’s pH. To use, mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water and apply it to your skin with a cotton ball. Sit for five minutes before rinsing with warm water.
5. Hydrate:
Hydration is important for glowing, healthy skin.
Drink plenty of pure water throughout the day
Drink 16-32+ ounces of Glowing Green Smoothie, which is really hydrating and has a lot of enzymes and nutrients from the fresh fruits and vegetables.
Eat a lot of raw foods that contain their own water, like salads containing lots of brightly colored vegetables.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which are dehydrating.
Take in extra fluids on hot days, when you are ill or stressed, and when you exercise vigorously.
6. Protect:
Sunlight is important because it supplies valuable vitamin D. To that end, you do need to get about 10 minutes of sunlight each day on unprotected skin in order to allow your body to synthesize vitamin D.
Too much sunlight, however, can be harmful, just like anything in excess. Practice healthy sun habits, such as covering up and wearing a hat.
7. Improve circulation:
Keeping your blood flowing and promoting lymph drainage can help keep your skin glowing! Dry brushing is a technique that improves circulation and promotes lymph draining. To practice dry brushing:
Use a soft, natural bristled brush.
Dry brush before your shower every morning.
Use a light pressure as you brush.
Starting at your feet, brush in small movements up towards your heart.
When you are done, take a shower.
8. Minimize makeup:
One of the benefits of healthy skin is not having to wear a lot of makeup. I don’t wear it all the time, but I do love my favorite products, like makeup from Lotus Herbals.
It’s natural and non-toxic. It’s doesn’t make you break out – I’ve even worn it to sweaty yoga class in the middle of an afternoon and I don’t break out.
There are also other organic makeup brands that I would recommend that will get you the glowing skin you want. A lot of makeup brands contain toxins and chemicals that can clog skin, even so-called mineral brands. So choose your products judiciously.
I hope these tips help you! Great skin is on the way.

Mira: Girl, you have to read these awesome beauty hacks!
They are not only awesome but also makes your life so much easier <3
Go girl, hack on!
1. Flat Beer For Glossy, Soft Hair
If you can’t chug it, don’t chuck it! Leave it out for a bit till the beer gets flat and use it as a hair rinse instead! The malt and hops in the beer are packed with protein that helps nourish and strengthen hair. The nutrients and Vitamin-B also help repair damaged hair and give it a glossy texture soon after.
2. Green Tea Bags For Plump Lips
We all hate cracked, chapped lips. Instead of picking up a lip balm, save the bucks and use a green tea bag instead! Green tea is packed with antioxidants to nourish your pout and prevent peeling. All you’ve got to do is dip the tea bag in warm water for 5 minutes and place the wet bag on your lips. Doing this once a week will improve your lips’ texture for the better!
3. Red Lipstick For Concealing Dark Circles
Dark circles are pretty much the bane of all of our lives. However, what if we told you that we could make those panda eyes vanish by using red lipstick? Sounds absurd, right? But it works like magic! All you’ve got to do is take some red lipstick and apply it under your eyes. Use your index finger to rub and blend it in properly. You see, the red neutralizes the darkness and conceals dark circles like a pro. Just apply your concealer on top and you’re ready to flaunt your oh-so-fresh look!
4. Charcoal For Bright White Teeth
Whether it’s coffee, tea or wine stains, you can now fight yellowness by simply using activated charcoal! Start by breaking and smashing 1 tablet of charcoal and pour the powder into a bowl. Add a teaspoon of water to the mix and stir till you’re left with a black, thick paste. Dab the paste on your teeth using your finger or a toothbrush and wait for 3-5 minutes. Rinse it off after. Do this once a week for a whiter, brighter smile!
5. Lemon Slices For Fresh Underarms
Sure the thought of rubbing a lemon slice on your underarm is not an everyday thing, but trust us, this will be your favourite hack soon! By simply rubbing and swiping a lemon slice across your underarms, you’re not just destroying odor-causing bacteria but also brightening your underarm area all at the same time. It’s as simple as that, girls! Just be sure to use moisturizer after, as lemon can dry out your skin.
6. Baby Powder For Fuller, Longer Lashes
If you want longer, fuller lashes, simply apply a layer of your favourite mascara. Then coat your lashes in baby powder. Once you’ve done that, apply a second coat of mascara. In just a couple of minutes, you’ll have longer, thicker lashes! Go ahead and flaunt them, we say!
7. Eyeshadow For Your Scalp
Want your hair to look super lush and thick? You can make that happen by simply using eyeshadow! Pick an eyeshadow that compliments your hair colour the best! After picking your shade, apply the eyeshadow where your part begins with an angled brush. Then, lift up thin sections of your hair and apply it on your scalp. Once you’re done, place your fingers at the roots of your hair and massage your scalp! This helps the powder spread naturally and set into your roots properly.
8. Coconut Oil For Supple Skin
You may have used coconut oil on your hair, but we bet you’ve never tried it on your skin! This baby makes a great substitute for an expensive makeup removerand nourishes and hydrates skin at the same time! Giving you a dewy glow, it’s perfect for removing and wiping away makeup residue in the most natural way possible.
9. Hair Conditioner For Smoother Legs
Why invest in a shaving cream when you can use your good old hair conditioner, right? Just slather some of it on your legs before you get to the shaving business. Since a hair conditioner has moisturizing properties, it helps hydrate skin and smoothens the process of shaving. You’ll notice that by using hair conditioner on your legs, the razor begins to glide smoothly and lessens the chances of getting cuts and bumps along the way.
10. Heat An Eyeliner Pencil For The Intensity Of A Gel Liner
Let’s face it, pencil eyeliners aren’t as pigmented and easy to apply as compared to gel liners. However, if by chance, you don’t have a gel liner with you, and your only hope is an eyeliner pencil, fear not! This hack’s gold. Simply heat the tip of the liner for about 3 seconds and viola, you have the most perfectly smooth, dark and pigmented eyeliner pencil you could ever ask for!

Anmol: A healthy diet and lifestyle, drinking enough water, protecting yourself from the sun are indeed the most important beauty tips and already have been told here. Some additions to the current answers:
  • Find your style. A clothing piece, a hairstyle, a lipstick color that looks terrific on someone might look horrendous on you. Be aware of your skin and hair color, height, weight, body type and find what would look best on you.
  • Check your facial expressions, the way you walk, stand, and talk. You know how we all sometimes make silly faces to laugh? Well some of us do silly faces in daily life without being aware of it. The first time I saw myself on a video (I was in high school) I couldn't believe how I was often raising one of my eyebrows which would make me look angry and how I was almost never standing straight. I changed both after I realized this.
  • Don't use your skin as a test area for skin care products. We all use moisturizers, wash our face..etc Just keep these treatments at a healthy level. A normal amount of treatments will help your skin, but an overly amount will tire out your skin. Also, do pay attention on the ingredients of everything you put on your skin -- even wildly popular brands' products, including fancy expensive ones, contain some infamous ingredients for health.
  • Make-up fastens aging, might cause you lose the shine of your skin and have breakouts. It would be the best for your skin health if you wore as little make-up as possible or at least not wear heavy make-up too often.

Young girls at the beginning of their adolescence and at college must dress and look good, but they must aim for a more natural and healthy look. Nowadays, girls age quickly and become more and more precocious. This makes them great for beauty announcements and a plethora of hair products and makeup. Although the use of minimal makeup is not bad, it is definitely preferable for girls to aim for a more natural and beautiful look. Here are some beauty tips for young girls. If you have a girl, make it a habit to apply a dough of gram flour, curd and turmeric to her face every day in the morning before bathing. This dough not only keeps skin fair and stain-free, but moisturizes and keeps it soft and smooth. Young girls undergo hormonal changes especially during puberty.
This can make their skin uneven and dry. An oil massage can remedy this problem and bring a natural beauty and a radiant glow to their faces. To do this, take some hot olive oil and massage the oil on the hands, legs and torso of the girl. Olive oil has essential fats that will keep its skin young and supple and will prevent the early development of wrinkles. A good facial cleanser can be done at home using milk, honey and crushed almonds. Grind the almonds into a smooth dough and add a spoonful of honey and a little milk. This scrub can be applied to the face, left for a few minutes and washed after a few minutes. He will clean the face of the impurities and leave the face scrupulously clean. It also brings a warm, pink glow on the face. Young girls tend to go out a lot in the sun, so it's very important to make sure they apply a solar screen before going out. Use a solar screen of a minimum of 40 SPF and apply it generously on your hands, legs and face. This will protect your skin against tanning and sunburn, which can ruin your skin. A diet can make all the difference for the skin tone and the beauty of young girls. Read more about beauty tips: Beauty tips for young ladies.
