Are you in a beauty rut and in need of some beauty tips?

Have you had the same look for so many years that you’re afraid the dog won’t recognize you if you make a change?

If this sounds like you then you definitely need a change!

Here are some beauty tips from head to toe that will get you out of your rut, and the dog will love it, too.

Haircut

Take $50 out of your rainy day fund and go get a great haircut first. Then with your change you can get a highlight kit and do it yourself.

Hair highlights

Highlighting is easier than ever with the new idiot-proof kits. Invite your best girlfriend over for a margaritas and highlighting party and do each other’s hair.

You can add subtle highlights all over or frame your face with highlights. The trend now is to highlight the underside of longer hair.

But keep in mind that highlighting is bleaching and bleaching causes permanent damage to the locks.

The beauty tip here is to make sure to keep your hair well maintained with a heavy conditioner twice a month and a leave in conditioner once each week if you went a little nuts with the highlights.

One way to stay in fashion is to keep a natural look.

The experts on beauty tips will tell you that you need to find an eye color combination that coordinates best with your eyes, not with your shoes and bag.

Find a natural look that’s great with your eyes and you can wear it with any outfit.

This will save you some money, too, because you won’t have to have a color of eye make-up to match every piece of clothing you own.

This tip has nothing to do with color, though. This is about keeping your lips in the best possible condition.

Your lips are very sensitive and are prone to drying out, cracking, and some people are prone to cold sores.

Keeping your lips hydrated is the best way to prevent all of these things. Even the bacteria that cause cold sores will have a harder time getting under your skin if your lips are well hydrated and not cracked.

If you wear lipstick all the time, hydrate before you put your lipstick on, it will last longer that way, too.

Eat healthy, exercise, drink plenty of water and get plenty of sleep. And stop smoking!

The combination of these beauty tips will keep your skin young, glowing and healthy well into your old age.

Moisturize your skin daily and limit the amount of UV rays, too.

There is no replacement for your skin when you let it go, and it is very difficult to get young, healthy skin back once it’s gone, so start now by following these beauty tips and you’ll stay beautiful for the rest of your years.
