From make-up to the use of a face mask: come and see the specialist’s tricks so you can enjoy this moment without going through the trouble
Vibrant colors, brightness and costumes full of creativity, these are very striking characteristics of Carnival. Whether at a street party, at the Sambódromo or even at home, the self-respecting reveler needs tips to enjoy this moment in style, above all, taking care of and respecting her skin; come and see.
Make based on natural products
Did you know that you can use natural products to make up? A good example is beetroot, which in addition to being rich in carotene, which nourishes and hydrates the skin, also has a natural pigment that can be used as eye shadow, blush and lipstick, and which does not offer health risks – children can also to use. Other ingredients, such as turmeric and activated charcoal are also an alternative to add color to the look and contour/outline the eyes. To use, just mix them with a few drops of 100% natural oil to create a paste and then apply to the skin as you prefer.
Face mask as skin decoration
Another trick is to use metallic masks, such as those made of gold or silver, to make small decorations on your face, that way you get into the Carnival mood, with the certainty that you are not using products that will worsen the quality of your skin.
Shoo acne and oiliness
To prepare the skin before makeup, soften acne, oiliness, reduce dilated pores and lighten spots, I recommend making a seaweed mask, as it is rich in mineral salts that help to detoxify the dermis and, at the same time, has protective action. Ingredients: 3 ⁄ 4 cup hot water; 5 cm x 1 cm of a sheet of chopped seaweed; and 1 sheet of gelatin. Just dilute the gelatin in the water with the seaweed. Apply all over the face. Let it act for 15 minutes. Wash in running water and then apply drops of sunflower or coconut oil.
Powerful hydration for face, body and hair
Surely you’ve heard that 100% natural oil is an excellent moisturizer and leaves skin and hair nourished and shiny, but for that, it needs to be 100% natural, free of petroleum derivatives.
How to use:
Face and neck: apply a few drops to the palm of your hands, heat the product and then massage into the skin.
Body: the oil must be applied on the skin still wet, after the bath.
Hair: it can be used to moisturize or as a pre-poo to protect the length when washing.
tan in day
A respectful tan is built over time and for that you need to dedicate a few minutes of your day. Two very efficient ways to conquer that tan are by ingesting natural juices rich in carotene and vitamin C, such as orange and carrot juices, and exposing yourself to the sun daily.
But it’s worth remembering that the skin needs to be prepared, so that it gains resistance and stays healthy. For this, check out a recipe for a homemade pumpkin mask to try at home: separate four pieces of pumpkin and boil until soft, then drain and mash the pieces with a fork. Let it cool, add a little honey, apply to face and body and leave for 15 minutes. Then remove the mixture with running water and finish spraying green tea all over the body, as it acts as a natural antioxidant and also helps in defense against solar radiation.
Attention to the use of artificial products
It is quite common to see people using glitter and glitter on their face, body and scalp, but this is a habit that is very harmful to health, as these items are made from plastics and other chemical components that can be absorbed by the skin, creating wounds, in addition to being harmful to the environment. So avoid them if possible.
