Overpriced creams, “miracle” serums, high-tech gadgets… beauty often rhymes with radiance and a bank card. However, a good part of what makes a luminous face, clear skin or shiny hair comes down to free gestures, to be adopted at home, without shopping or visiting a salon. And some of these gestures come straight from the routines of magazines and beauty experts.
Singer Charlotte Cardin, L’Oréal Paris muse, recalled this by preferring a luminous and natural look on the red carpets, Charlotte Cardin told the magazine, quoted by Billie. In this same spirit, here are 10 free beauty tips to be more beautiful every day, without compulsory makeup or additional expenses.
100% free facial and body treatments
For the face, massage remains a classic that facialists favor: five to ten minutes of self-massage each day, with gentle gestures directed upwards and outwards, help to smooth fine lines, boost circulation and give a plumper complexion. Just after, a homemade steam bath – a bowl of simmering water, possibly a few drops of essential oil, a towel on the head for around ten minutes – dilates the pores and ideally prepares the skin for a cleansing or moisturizing mask.
As for cooking recipes, Public details, for example, a homemade moisturizing mask based on honey, yogurt and egg white, or even a “peeling” scrub by mixing salt or fine sand and olive oil. Drinking a glass of warm water with lemon in the morning, an ingredient described as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral, is touted as a detox boost for a brighter complexion and skin less prone to blemishes.
10 daily beauty routines that cost nothing
Bathroom habits can also be transformed without a budget. Elle magazine advises drying your hair with a cotton T-shirt rather than a terry towel, to limit knots, split ends and breakage. At night, tying your hair lightly avoids friction which damages it and reduces the risk of pimples on the areas of the face in contact with the hair. Finishing the shower with a jet of cold water firms the skin, reduces the appearance of cellulite and closes the hair scales for greater softness.
Sleep becomes a real free beauty tool: sleeping with two pillows to slightly elevate the head helps limit puffy eyes by improving lymphatic circulation, while sleeping on your back reduces repeated rubbing of the face on the pillow, associated with more wrinkles in those who sleep on their stomach or side. In addition, taking advantage of natural light every day, without overexposure, helps regulate the internal clock, reduce stress and improve mood, three elements that are immediately visible on the face.
- Daily facial massage
- Homemade steam bath
- Honey-yogurt-egg white mask
- Salt and olive oil scrub
- Warm lemon water in the morning
- Drying hair with T-shirt
- Hair tied up for sleeping
- Shower finished with cold water
- Two pillows and sleeping on your back
- Daily exposure to daylight
