To make sure you kick start that ‘new you'/new career/fitness regime, whatever your goal, into action, you need to begin by giving yourself a fabulous confidence boost. more....
Maggie's Beauty Tip:
January 2009
Part of looking good means good make-up and taking care of your skin too. Through the winter months don’t be without a good foundation to protect your skin from the elements.
Dear Maggie,
After all the festivities my skin is looking dull and I would love to look good for Valentine’s Day.
Do you have any suggestions? Brenda
Dear Brenda,
Try the following face-toning massage – no creams, steam or masks.
1. Sit with shoulders and neck relaxed.
Look ahead and open your mouth as wide as you can; start to move you lips as if you were chewing the cud. Roll lips over
your teeth as often as you can involve your neck and jaw muscles in the movement. Continue for one minute.
2. Place the
fingers of both hands on your forehead. Bend your head slightly to avoid pressure on your neck and rest your forearms on
your chest. Using all your finger pads, start to tap all over your forehead. Continue for one minute. Keep your fingers
straight in order to create a dynamic movement.
3. Move to your temples and, using very light pressure, tap them for 15
seconds. Then tap gently around your eyes from outer to inner corners. Repeat three times. Tap along cheekbones, starting
on either side of your nose and moving to your temples. Repeat three times.
4. Tap along jaw line starting on the corners
of your jaw and moving to the middle. Continue for one minute. Finish by tapping all over your face for 30 seconds,
gradually slowing then hold your face gently in your hands and breathe in and out three times. Add this routine to your
daily skincare regime and see the difference.
Maggie. |
