Curious as to the beauty secrets of Cleopatra? Well one of her most amazing beauty techniques has just been revealed by Japanese television. Here is the video clip:

My goal - to get silky smooth skin. Apparently that goal was reached and the proof positive came in a way that was totally unexpected.

I found a new skin care lotion called H2O Plus Milk Body Lotion and smoothed just a bit onto my arms. About an hour later, my niece climbed onto my lap. The first thing that she said wasn’t even hi. Instead she asked,” How come your skin is so soft?” Do you think I will keep using this product?

I then used it on my legs after my shower and was amazed at how soft and smooth they felt. This product has found a permanent space in my bathroom cupboard and next to my bed.

If you are looking for a surefire way to get silky smooth skin, you have to try H2OPlus Milk Body Lotion.

We all have wished for the perfect, porcelain skin at one time or another. But staring wistfully at the model in the magazine won’t get us the face we dream for (news flash: its called airbrushing and a pound of make-up).

Instead, it takes a few lifestyle changes, but most importantly, it takes finding the right make-up for your face. Beauty blogs have started buzzing about Clinique beauty products for a flawless face. One in particular is the Clinique blended face powder, which helps to smooth out discoloration and other imperfections on the face.

However, there are a few other factors that will affect that way your face looks.

• Trade in those soft drinks for water. No matter how boring it is (add some Crystal Light or other flavors to spice it up), hydration is crucial to your skin’s health.

• Wash your face religiously. Some skin types will get too dry if washed more than once a day, others will require you to do it at least twice a day. Figure out what will get your skin to your optimum health and then stick to the plan.

• Figure out what type of base works for your face. Clinique beauty products offer all types for the face: foundation, pressed powder, and blended powder among others. Find what works best for your face because each skin type and tone will react differently to foundation versus powder.

Clinique beauty products are just one line that can get you the flawless face you have always wanted. Keep in mind that other influences such as diet and exercise will affect your face, and remember that when choosing your make-up. Above all, have fun with it!

Since we discussed honey as a beauty treatment yesterday, today I am going to give you a simple 3 step honey facial mask solution.

• Take a warm towel and apply it to your face to open your pores.
• Spread honey on your face and leave it there for a minute or two. Avoid the eye areas.
• Wash off with cold wet towels. This will close your pours.

Then just apply your normal moisturizer. This is a simple way to exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling and looking fantastic.

Everywhere you look green tea is being touted for its health benefits. It is known as a powerful antioxidant and drinking the tea is highly beneficial. But what else can it be used for?

Well apparently, according to one study, when the extra is applied under your normal sun screen, it can help prevent sun damage.

“It is best to combine green tea with zinc oxide-based sunscreens because zinc oxide is chemically inert and should not react with green tea (which some chemical sunscreens might do, especially in sunlight).” according to smartskincare.com

You can find green tea skin creams at most health food stores like Chamberlin’s and Whole Foods. What other skin care benefits have been found using green tea?

Well, another study by Jennifer Gan-Wong, M.D, states that green tea is just as effective as Benzoyl Peroxide in the treatment of moderate to severe acne without leaving your skin dry and flaky.

Hmm, do you think that there may be a good reason that Japanese women have such amazing skin. Perhaps one of the reasons is because so many of the facial products from there contain this powerful antioxidant. Just a thought.

Ever wonder how on earth you will keep your face looking fresh throughout the summer? Have you spent a day playing in the water only to come home and realize that your face is now three shades DARKER than your foundation?

There’s no faster way to look like you’re a summer intern with the clowns at the circus than to put light make-up on a sun-kissed face. And unless this is your wish, I’m pretty sure that deep down in your heart of hearts you’d rather not make an appearance that makes your friends wonder if you’ve decided to make a career change!

One way you can keep your facial beauty is to be sure you apply sunscreen to your cheeks (as well as the rest of your beautiful face!) before heading out the door in the morning. Finding a good, moisturizing lotion that includes a minimum of an SPF15 rating is a necessity.

The folks at KORRES have come up with a delightful little tube of sunscreen that with regular application can help you keep that youthful glow that shows off your facial beauty. What’s more, it’s fun and smells good, too! The Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream (SPF30) is a great cream that will not only keep your face hydrated and moisturized, it can be counted on to help keep your skin healthy and escape the damaging rays of the sun.

The best beauty reviews out there all agree that it’s of utmost importance to protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun. Why not ensure your own facial beauty by protecting your skin?

Although there are tons of cellulite cream products out there, some of you have requested a homemade cellulite cream recipe. So I went searching and found a recipe for home made cellulite cream that uses a combination of fennel oil and rosemary Mix these two ingredients together and apply daily to minimize the look of cellulite.

Another site recommended using damp coffee grinds on those problem areas. Wrap your coffee covered thighs with cellophane and leave on for about twenty minutes. I have actually had this treatment at spas before so I tend to place a bit more faith in it. It will not eliminate cellulite but it will make it a lot less noticeable. I recommend do this treatment at least once a week.

One site that I stumbled upon claims that the toxins in our food is partially to blame for the build up of cellulite and that by eating organic foods and drinking lots of water you can begin to eliminate this problem. It couldn’t hurt either way right?

Ridding yourself of Cellulite is a life long battle and even the most expensive jars of cellulite creams won’t cure it. Whether you use the homemade cellulite cream or the store brands consistency is key. Use them at least weekly and drink plenty of waters to flush out the toxins.
