9 Beauty Resolutions for the New Year

9 Beauty Resolutions for the New Year

Do you want to look and feel more fabulous for 2009? Here are several tips to get you on the right path for looking even more beautiful and gorgeous for the new year.

1. Keep your skin looking good and well hydrated with a proper skincare regimen- Who doesn’t want fabulous skin that stays in great condition for the new year. Start off with an exfoliator and use it once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells which will allow your face to glow (For oily skin, use an exfoliator about 3 times a week). Make sure to use a good face moisturizer that won’t clog pores and also try soothing products like a toner to help condition the face too.

For the body, make sure the skin is well moisturized by applying lotion everyday after showering and use a body wash that’s not too harsh for the skin. If you really want to spend dough, go to a spa once in a while to pamper your skin. Maybe every 4 months if you can afford it.

2. Revitalize your hair by keeping it healthy and hydrated- Say bye-bye to damage hair for the new year and say hello to healthy hair. Maintenance is key so make sure to trim your ends on a regular basis, and try a conditioning treatment or hair masque once a week. If your hair is badly damage with lots of breakage, go to a quality hair salon and let them take a look at your hair. They can give you the best advice for your hair and improve its health and shine.

3. Eat well and exercise- This is #1 new year resolution that’s mentioned by the majority of the population every year and yet we never fulfill it. We never commit; but we need to stop doing that. It’s crucial to eat well and exercise for good health. Here’s a good place to start: Invest in a gym and invest even more with a personal trainer. Who better to get you more motivated than a personal trainer. Who else could correct your eating habits than a personal trainer. If a personal trainer is not for you, that’s okay. Find other ways to get you motivated and commit to staying active. Having a workout buddy is great alternative. Here’s another idea: create a workout program. Doing so will increase your chances to losing weight.

4. Invest in a SPF sunscreen to prevent aging while in the sun- Don’t forget it helps to prevent skin cancer also so make sure to pour on the sunscreen whenever you’re out in the sun.

5. Drink plenty of water- I shouldn’t tell you why you need plenty of water; but, if you need a recap, check out my post on why drinking water daily is essential. I will say that drinking a liter or two a day would be sufficient for your daily intake.

6. Invest in a new hair cut- Be bold and try something different. Hair trends are constantly changing so keep up with the current style. A new look is always good and who doesn’t want sexy hairstyles worn by several celebrities. Don’t forget that hair always grow back, so if you have long hair be daring and try a shorter or mid-length cut. If you have short hair, add extensions for long flowing hair. What ever you do, please don’t try to cut your hair yourself. Let’s leave that to the professionals. :)

7. Keep up-to-date on the latest beauty trends by subscribing to a beauty and health magazine- I subscribe to several magazines to stay current on new beauty products and trends. Here’s some good ones to check out: Glamour, Allure, In Style, Shape, Cosmopolitan, Self, Health, and Lucky. WWD.com is also another great magazine to subscribe to that’s online based.

8. Clean out your makeup- Get rid of the old and add in new products. You should update your makeup bag every season. This can help you to stay current with the season’s new makeup colors and shades.

9. Update your beauty look by experimenting with new products- Makeup trends frequently changes too so look even more fabulous by trying new products. Don’t be afraid of colors that you’ve never tried before. You might find that perfect color that you’d never dream of touching and improve your look. So, stop by a beauty counter and get a makeover or stop by a MAC counter and let a makeup artist create a new look for you.

With every new year there’s a desire for change. So, lets start the new year off right by being bold, different, and taking chances. Let your true beauty shine for 2009!

    HOLY CRAP! Comparing this to the original picture, they’re identical!

  2. muhiu says:

    Innocence is sort of a purity of heart. Beauty in its truest sense also comes from the heart. It would be hard to have one without the other.

  3. Pippa B says:

    Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. Each person on this earth has their own mind that is made up of totally different experiences and beauty beliefs, most coming from culture. It’s really hard to get everyones real opinion unless you literally took everyone on the earth sat them down and asked them the question.

    EXAMPLES:
    •A Barbie doll figure is the average North American standard of beauty, but if you ask someone of South American, Caribbean or African decent they’d say that a more full figured woman is beautiful.

    •I think Angelina Jolie is absolutely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life, but by boyfriend thinks she is just ok.

    Even with-in the same culture you will find different levels of beauty opinions. That’s why you should always strive to be the best you that you can be and that’s only if you want to. Everyone else’s opinions’ are just that…opinions…they don’t matter unless you allow them to matter.

    All in all, peoples’ opinions don’t matter. Beauty is in your eye and you create it for your world. That’s a lot more fun than waiting to be defined by others.

    You and me are totally examples of "beaut is in the eye of the beholder", you think Giselle is beautiful but I found her to be unattractive. I think Gemma Ward is the most beautiful. But obviously because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    awesome, keep up the good work!

  10. daisy800 says:

    I cannot imagine how one could study this area of technical skill online.
    This kind of work involves learning how to do things with your hands, understanding the tools, learning how the products work and feel when applied.
    The only way I can see to learn this is to actually handle the stuff. Yes, there will be some theory/knowledge you could study on line. But after that, you'll have to apprentice.

    OK some beauty tips:
    MAKEUP

    never wear lip liner a shade/shades darker than your lipstick

    under 30-shouldn't be wearing lip liner anyway

    wiggle the brush as you apply mascara

    when applying lipstick to avoid tooth stains stick your index finger in your mouth and pull out

    white eyeliner on the waterline=big eyes

    the perfect shade of lipstick is on the inside of your bottom lip

    concealer, than foundation to set it

    stick concealer for eyes

    bronze can make your face look thinner etc if you do it right

    penciled eyebrows- UC no offense if you have them-it depends

    FACE AND SKIN, ZITS/PIMPLES

    puffy under/eyes? submerge 2 teaspoons in ice water for 30 minutes or as long as you can and than place on your eyes until they loose their cool can repeat if you want, you can also place the spoons in water and then in the freezer

    toner really does clean and a good one leaves it soft

    tea tree oil and toothpaste are good for blemishes

    thick masques usually pull the dirt out of your pores

    heat up about a teaspoon of milk, then dip a small piece of bread (small or big enough to cover the zit) place it on your face and put a band aid (fabric sticks better) over it, it sucks out the dirt of some black heads and puss etc

    if you can stand the heat-place a small EMPTY medicine bottle (like those small Motrin or anti nausea etc) in boiling water until hot then squeeze the air out and put it over your zit and let it suck the dirt out (it suctions to your face) [warning may cause bruising-painless but visible its like when you get one around your mug from sucking up a cup!!]

    oatmeal and sugar/lemon scrubs are better than a lot of store bought stuff

    don't pop zits popping=scars

    avocado, coconut, olive oils etc are very softening to the skin

    loofah's hold sooo much bacteria

    HAIR

    use a deep conditioning masque twice a week, warm it up and put it on your hair put a hair plastic shower cap on and shoot some hot air on it for 5 minutes repeat every 15 minutes for 1 hr then rinse with one batch warm water and then cold water to make it shine as cold as you can stand

    lots of brushing is really bad

    always protect your hair from the sun-any product that puts a barrier between your hair and the sun is good, creams and serums are better than sprays, they're thicker but if you have fine hair than use a spray so you don't weight it down less is always more when using makeup don't go to over the top unless its a Halloween party! always take a shower/bath every day to keep ur hair from getting gross and greasy, definitely use a hair dryer to dry ur hair it will look much better than natural hair dry. if u want u shuld get highlights but dont b 2 crazy so if u have brown hair dont get whtie highlights get like a lighter color of ur hair color, if u hav glasses u shuld get contacts it will really make ur face look clearer and better no offense to ppl with glasses. if u hav braces its no big deal just make sure the colors u get are some what neutral and match things u hav in ur closet, when buying makeup dont buy oil makeup and always make sure u wash ur face at night! if u want and u think u have yellow teeth try using white strips crest white strips r definetly the best!! hmm beauty sleep isnt really what it sounds like so it just means u get well rested so that u dont hav bags under ur eyes and ur face is all blotchy u shuld get a good 8-10 hours of sleep each night. if u leave mascara on when u go to bed nothing will happen u might get black powdery stuff around ur eyes but its no big deal u just wash it off in the morning! hope i helped u good luck!! :)

    Maybe it's difference between being cute and being hot?

  16. Shorty says:

    I think you can write about Inner beauty.
    Also about beauty in flowers, places, smells etc..

  17. Jess says:

    Something about books, sheep, Gaston, and singing dressers and candlesticks.

  18. norton2628 says:

    dry/damaged hair: mayonnaise or extra virgin olive oil on hair that is dry for hours.
    dandruff: apple cider vinegar (makes shiny, too), fifteen minutes every month
    combination skin (pimples/blackheads/etc. etc.): avocado or extra virgin olive oil for dry skin, and every week i wash with honey and brown sugar scrub
    chapped lips: regularly use burt's bees peppermint oil lip balm, natural: extra virgin oil olive on bottom lip and then rub lips together to get even coating
    dry skin: bathe with a swish of olive oil
