 3 Basic Steps to Beauty  We only have one face (physically), so take care of it by doing the 3 basic steps: 
Cleanse, Tone & Moisturize daily with products that suit your skin type and condition! Feeling Tired After a Long Day? Soak your feet in a basin of warm water mixed with a handful of OPI foot soak. After 10 minutes: wash feet, take an OPI foot filer and scrub your heels to remove any accumulated dirt. 

Then apply OPI Foot moisturizer to keep your feet feeling soft and looking healthy. Your feet have acupuncture points which will be stimulated while soaking, cleaning and treating them so you will feel relaxed afterward. Waxing Rash Mix 2-tablespoon bicarbonate of soda with a small amount of water to form a paste. 
Apply this mixture to the affected area and allow to dry. Rinse off with cool water and repeat if necessary. This will relieve the rash by reducing itchiness. Brush your Body Many physicians recommend brush massaging as it cleanses and activates blood circulation, thus improving the skin condition and immunity. 

Dry body brushing is recommended as it makes the body more receptive to the effects of bathing as dead skin cells are gently removed and circulation is improved. It is suggested to massage in soft circular movements from the bottom to the top of the body, (always in the direction of the heart) without irritating the skin. Due to the improved circulation dry body brushing is also a fantastic way to start any cellulite treatment. (Endermologie) 

A massage brush cleans and opens the pores by carefully removing dead skin cells and is designed so all parts of the body can be reached. No soaps or detergents should be used as the brush provides a good and even cleansing. Unlike other exfoliating product such as loofahs, a brush is hygienic as it can be washed. It is recommended that all adults body brush daily particularly before showering or bathing. Deep Cleanse Your Body Here’s an easy to do Avocado & Banana Body Scrub: The pit (pip) of the avocado needs to be dried for 3 – 5 days before it can be ground for this recipe. 

Grind dried avocado pit until pieces are very fine. Mix with ½ banana (mashed) and olive oil to make a thick paste. Rub gently over your skin and be sure to not use too much pressure. The avocado pit will naturally exfoliate. Rinse off in a warm shower. From a Dull Face to a Radiant Glow 
 Once you’ve applied your make-up, use your brush to apply a tiny bit of baby powder onto your face. This will give your face a radiant glow. Dry Skin Needs Intensive Care For dry skin needing intensive care and extra hydration, apply a mild, gel type moisturizer under your regular day or night cream. 

Also apply this gel moisturizer generously once or twice a week as a face mask for 15 minutes and wipe off the excess with a paper tissue. Send the Wrinkles Away 
 Mix one teaspoon of honey with 30ml of cabbage juice. This mixture, if applied regularly to the face, helps to keep the wrinkles away. "Orange Peel" belongs to Orange’s 
 Get your beach body ready by getting rid of that "orange peel effect". 

Approximately 80% of women develop cellulite, often beginning in their teen years. Cellulite development is largely attributable to poor eating habits, such as insufficient roughage and too many carbohydrates or fatty foods although smoking; too little sport, stress and nervous tension can be major causes. So what's the recipe for a cellulite-free body? 

Take 1 healthy lifestyle (equal portions of a healthy diet and regular exercise), add body scrub (or body brushing), Endermologie Treatments weekly and finish with a body firming cream! Flatter Your Figure Large women tend to wear baggy clothes to hide their figures. Unfortunately, this has the effect of making them look shapeless and even larger. 

Try wearing a fitted skirt just above the knees and a tailored blouse in a comfortable size to show off your feminine curves. Relax and wait for the compliments to start pouring in! Don't Squirm - Just Stay Firm! 
 Skin firmness and elasticity starts depleting from the age of 25, so all skin types would benefit from a Guinot eye, lip and neck treatment. 

It is never too early to start looking after your skin! Ice Cold Water does the Trick 
 Strong, chip-resistant nail polishes are great if you have the time to wait for them to dry. To pick up the drying rate of these tougher enamels, carefully submerge freshly painted nails in a bowl of ice cold water for 30 seconds to harden halfway dry polish. 

Shake off the excess water. This should shorten your drying time by 3 to 5 minutes Massage During Pregnancy 

During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes many changes, some of which are stressful and uncomfortable. Massage is a perfect way to reduce stress and promote general well being. Massage helps mom's body to eliminate waste products through the lymphatic and a circulatory system, which combats fatigue and helps the mother feel more energetic. Massage also relieves many of the normal discomforts during pregnancy such as backaches, a stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and sore, swollen ankles and feet. NB!!! Never use essential oils Take Your Face To Gym
 The absence of wrinkles and sags, as well as having taut, toned, smooth and glowing skin, are the signs of youthful and healthy beauty. We exercise our bodies to keep them taut and toned, so now it's time to commence a facial fitness routine. This will help increase blood circulation and lift the facial muscles, thereby removing sags. You can try the following:
Stained Toenails? 
 Our toenails tend to get very stained in summer from all the quick dry nail varnishes that we use. Buff your toenails no more than once every two weeks to assist in the removal of stains and to stimulate circulation, thus encouraging a healthy nail plate. Having A Brazilian Wax When you have a Brazilian wax done for the first time, make sure that the therapist is experienced and confident in doing Brazilian waxes. Never be afraid to specify exactly what you want, or to ask the therapist if you have any questions or if you are unsure of what happens next. Always shower or clean the area before you have your visit at the salon. Bella Body therapists are experts in Brazilian waxes. What Is Threading? 
 Threading is when a fine thread is twisted around the root of each hair so that the individual hairs can be removed. It is recommended that you visit Bavanisha at Bella Body, the treading specialist. Great Legs? 
 Always keep your best assets in mind while dressing and try and focus on them, for eg. Don't hide great legs under pants or jeans; rather opt for a fashionable mid-length dress/skirt or one that is a suitable length for you. Shrink Enlarged Pores To shrink enlarged skin pores, try adding a few drops of limejuice to one tablespoon of tomato juice and applying the mixture on your face. Only remove after 15 minutes by washing your face with cold water. Night Cream Wear a rich night cream to replenish moisture lost from the skin during the day. Your skin works best at night in absorbing products, as it is totally relaxed when you are sleeping. Self Tanning 
 Exfoliate you’re skin with a body scrub and loofah before applying self tanning lotion. This will ensure an even distribution of lotion and lessen the likelihood of streaking. Ensure that you exfoliate your knees as well. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after applying the self-tanning lotion, as people will know instantly that your tan is fake if you have streaky fingers and hands. If you are nervous about doing the tan yourself then contact Farhana at Bella Body, as she is the expert in Koebana Spray Tans. Smoking And Your Skin 

Smoking promotes enlargement of the skin's pores and in general impairs the overall health of your skin, leaving it looking dull and unhealthy |
