Be Beautiful all the time

Be Beautiful all the time

To achieve an elegant look, one has to valuepersonal grooming. Self Grooming is not about vanity. In fact, proper grooming takes the spotlight away from yourself. 

Personal groomingis about presenting yourself in the best possible way. It tells people what you think of yourself. Someone once said, "The cornerstone of elegance must be represented by a bar of soap."

Maybe from her time, a bar of soap was all she had. Today we have help from many places, friends, beauty counters, magazines, personal stylists like me. It is simply impossible to not know at least a little about grooming.

Badpersonal groomingcan be spotted a mile away. Some examples are unconcealed red patches on the face, clothes that are not ironed, dirty fingernails or chipped nail polish, run in the stockings, a dirty, scuffed shoe, untidy hair and make up, a weak collar, bad designer knockoffs, faded clothes etc.

A person with goodpersonal groomingalways seem to have clear, even complexion.

If you do not have good skin, establish askin careregime that works for you. Other basic goodskin caretips are to wear sunscreen, exercise regularly, sleep well and drink lots of water.

Naturally, we all have moments in our lives when we are battling with spots. A good concealer helps mask those imperfections as a spotty face is distracting.

Eye brows should be shaped about once in six weeks and maintained every week. When applying makeup aim for a fresh, healthy appearance. Wear heavier make up in the evening, such as boldereyeliner strokes.

Personal Groomingfor hair means that hair should be clean, neat, tidy and elegantly styled. You should wash your hair every other day. Good hair etiquette also means never scratching your head, combing your hair or attempting to tie your hair in public.

Find a hairstyle that suits theshape of your face. Also consider your lifestyle, when choosing a hairstyle. If you have a fairly busy schedule, opt for a low maintenance hairstyle.

If you wear a different colour to your natural hair, be sure to get your roots down regularly.

You can tell when a woman appliespersonal groomingto her body when she takes care of it.

Exercise affects your core muscles and gives you goodposture. That reason is good enough to engage in exercise! When you exercise, you build yourself-esteem and confidencebecause you feel good about yourself. You feel better when you find the clothes you want to wear, not clothes you are trying to fit into.

With Summer upon us lets take time to apply some personal grooming but if that fails call the professional. Sita Balolall on 083 3531560.
