Top Ten Essential Beauty Tips

A little while ago, we put together a list of tweets under the hashtag #BeautyTips. Here are the top ten tips you need to know about skincare, hair care and perfumery. These tips are brought to you straight from the experts' mouths. 

  1. Always apply eye gels and creams at least 2 hours (especially those containing hyaluronic acid) before bedtime to avoid waking up with puffy eyes
  2. For puffy and allergy affected eyes, place 2 cooled green tea bags over them before bed to relieve inflammation and redness
  3. Incorporate an eye make-up remover into your routine – removing the daily impurities and allowing for deeper penetration of eye gels and creams
  4. When conditioning the hair remember to gently massage the scalp to increase circulation to the hair follicle
  5. Don’t leave the house without your facial spritz or flower water spritz to refresh throughout the day! Especially during season and humidity changes
  6.  Incorporate a facial oil to your daily routine during summer to winter transitions to assist with humidity changes and prevent the skin from drying out
  7. Make sure your perfume for the day reflects your mood – your pheromones will enhance the scent for others to also enjoy
  8. Perfume should not be dubbed as either for male or female but should be seen as a reflection of your soul at any given time
  9. The heat of our bodies warms the essential oils in perfume to give off the fragrance, that is why a perfume smells differently on your skin from a blotter
  10. Did you know there are a number of different perfume architectures? These different architectural shapes such as the pyramid, linear or star are responsible of how the scent of the notes flows (please see the image below)
