How To Have Young Looking Hands

In my recent YouTube video, I share my beauty secrets on how to have young looking hands naturally because there is so much you can do to prevent, treat, and reverse aging. Having young looking hands has always been desired by women because we don't want our hands to make us look older. The younger you start caring for your hands, the younger they will look as you age. Hands are easily prone to premature aging because they are constantly exposed to the elements including damaging UV sun exposure.

 
Constant hand washing can be very drying and dry skin causes wrinkles to form more easily, and the skin on our hands tends to thin with age making veins and bones more visible. With these factors working against us, it is vital that we take special care of our hands, and this means daily moisturizing and avoiding harsh cleansers. Please watch my video above for more important tips on how to have young looking hands naturally. In this video, I also discuss the latest trend of women seeking cosmetic procedures and medical treatments on their hands in an effort to have younger looking hands, and as more women turn to using botox, fillers, and other cosmetic procedures on their faces, they are often self-conscious about the skin on the rest of their body looking out of balance with their face, especially their hands, so many women are now seeking cosmetic procedures and medical treatments for their hands as well. However, these procedures are not without risks, which I discuss in my above video, and many of the risks and side effects present with facial procedures apply to the hands as well, and some procedures may even impair hand function, so this is an area to be very careful about. Please see my video above to learn more.

The Fastest and Easiest Way To Increase Collagen Naturally

Collagen is one of the most important nutrients in our bodies when it comes to anti-aging skin care. It helps keep us looking wrinkle free and youthful. It helps your skin maintain it's elasticity and can help prevent skin aging and sagging. It helps your body renew skin cells and softens and hydrates your skin, keeping it smooth and young looking. It's vital for growing long strong hair and nails and it helps promote bone health and strength, joint health and mobility, and may even shorten exercise recovery time. As we get older our collagen begins to diminish which causes fine lines and wrinkles to develop, hair to thin, nails to become brittle, joints to stiffen, and arthritis to develop. Fortunately, there are ways you can improve your collagen, so you can look and feel your best. In my video above, you will learn a fast, easy, and simple way to increase your collagen naturally.

How to Remove Glitter Nail Polish

Hi Everybody, Recently I uploaded a video on YouTube on how to have beautiful blue glitter nails How-to Beautiful Blue Glitter Nails Tutorial. Many of you have asked about how to best get glitter nail polish off because it can be difficult to do. Glitter nail polish does have significant lasting power as compared to regular non-glitter nail polishes which is great while you're wearing it, but when it's time to take it off, if can be more time consuming and difficult than we like.

One of the easiest ways to remove the stubborn glitter polish is to soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover, apply it to your nail, and cover your finger with aluminum foil to hold the cotton ball to your fingernail. You can do all ten fingers at a time if you like. After about 2-4 minutes, pull off the foils along with the cotton ball as you squeeze it against your nail removing the glitter polish with it. Your nails should be quite clean. Any remaining glitter polish can be removed by wiping it with a fresh cotton ball soaked with nail polish remover or just gently scraping at it with your nail or a cuticle stick depending on how much you have left. You don't want to scrape at your nails too much as this can wear away nail enamel. I prefer non-acetone nail polish as it is less drying to my nails, but both acetone and non-acetone can be used.

So there you go! I know it's a bit more work to remove the glitter polish, but it's so pretty that I think it's worth the extra effort. Also, glitter polish does last longer on your nails than non-glitter polish.

Find Your Beauty

Hi Ladies, we can all find something we don't like on ourselves. Well, I have some tips for you on how you can change the way you feel about yourself simply by changing your attitude.

For each thing you don't like about yourself, find something you do like. It could be as simple as pretty lips, dimples, dark eyelashes, big eyes. Now put the emphasis on those parts! So if you don't like your eyes, but you love your lips, play up your lips with bright lipstick, but keep your eyes more neutral. This goes for your body as well.

Now, for the things you don't like. Change them if you can. If you feel you are overweight, exercise and start maintaining a healthy diet. Don't like your hair, visit a salon and find out what your options are for a style that works for you. Don't just feel bad about these things if you are able to do something about them.

For the things you cannot change, simply let them go. You must accept that they are part of who you are. They are the things that make you "you". Anyone who cares about you wouldn't want you to change those things because they are familiar, recognizable and special. That's how you stay positive and happy through life. Very often the things you find unattractive or problematic, like a mole on your face, or perhaps freckles, others see as distinctive and simply make you "you".

So I say, for the things you can and want to change "make it happen" you can absolutely do that. For the things you cannot change, embrace them and move on and focus on what you like about yourself. You will exhibit more confidence and people will be drawn to that inner beauty and peace that comes out of a person who is truly comfortable in their own body. Their smile is genuine and simply lights up a room and makes others feel at ease. Draw yourself out, not in, and you will find the secret to a happy life :o)

Give Yourself A Manicure - Quick Tips for Pretty Nails

You don't have to have a lot of time on your hands to give yourself a manicure as good as the professionals. Follow these great tips:

Step 1: Soak hands and nails in warm water mixed with olive oil to soften and moisturize cuticles.

Step 2: Gently push back your cuticles using either a wooden popsicle stick or use a stone cuticle pusher.

Step 3: File your nails with a fine file and always file in one direction. Using a coarse nail file, or sawing back and forth makes your nails more prone to breakage.

Step 4: When you're ready to polish, wash your hands first with soap and water. Soap nails to remove any oils. Getting rid of oils on your nails will help polish adhere better and prevent chipping.

Step 5: First, apply a base coat. Base coats keep colored nail polish from staining your nails, and create a nice smooth surface so color goes on evenly and lasts longer. Let dry.

Step 6: Apply polish. For best application, wipe one side of the brush against the mouth of the bottle to remove excess polish. Paint three strokes on each nail: one down the middle, then one on each side. Apply a bit of polish to the very tips of your nail to help prevent chips. Let Dry. Apply second coat. Let Dry. Finish with a clear top coat.

Final Tips: Always apply nail polish in thin layers. Thick coats will not stick to your nails as well and cause them to chip quicker. Use a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover to gently remove any smudges on your fingers. To help keep your polish looking great, apply a fresh coat of clear top coat every other day or as needed.

One of my favorite nail polishes is OPI. It lasts, and comes in great colors. These are terrific salon quality nail polishes. Don't want to spend the extra money, consider just buying the base coat and top coat so you have your cheaper polish sandwiched between good polishes.
