Is Being Obesessed With Beauty Vain and Pointless?

Is Being Obesessed With Beauty Vain and Pointless?Am I Vain Because I’m Obsessed With Beauty?If you are reading this blog you probably love beauty products and fashion like I do but I admit I may carry it to the point of obsession at times.Many times people who have this drive to make themselves pretty are considered vain,conceded or overly self involved.Believe me,there are plenty of people that are vain that are not into fashion and beauty!

So what drives us to this passion for fashion if it isn’t vanity?For me personally it is an art form.I love the unique,different and sometimes bizarre because it fuels creative passion inside.I see something beautiful in every woman I come in contact with.I don’t mean “internal beauty”B.S.Lets just face it that is a load of crap.There are “beautiful” and “ugly” people who are horrible human beings and the other way around.I’m talking about actual physical appearance.First impressions only.So many women don’t see their actual physical attributes for many reasons.They may have the most beautiful personality on the inside but they take a look in the mirror and see nothing they find attractive about themselves.The blow to their self esteem can impact who they are inside and how they react to others.If you know someone or see someone who looks a little low on the self esteem department finding something attractive about that person and letting them know can make their day and possibly change their outlook on themselves.

My absolutely favorite thing to see is a 90 year old lady who’s looks have long gone walking down the street in her bright red lipstick and matching red orthopedic pumps.You know when she was getting ready to go out she felt pretty and young.After all its really about how you feel about yourself.

Don’t compare yourself to 90lb super models who are barely 18 years old.Look at what you find attractive in other women in your same age and size range.What are they wearing or doing with their makeup or hair that you like?Treat yourself to a new lip gloss in a similar shade, a trip to the salon for a new do, or a cute shirt in a style you’ve seen that you like.

Don’t be afraid to look in the mirror and say yanno what I like my lips or eyes.Or god forbid…I have nice boobs!We all tend to see the worst in ourselves and focus on hiding those parts instead of enhancing the parts we like.It isn’t vanity,its self love and awareness.When you exude confidence and feel attractive others will see you that way too.

Treat yourself like the princess you are and demand others to treat you the same as you treat yourself.This doesn’t mean you need to be a glam queen and wear glitter and a tiara!(although that would be a nice touch)You just need to celebrate your beauty every once in a while.Enjoy being a woman! We have enough crap to deal with in the PMS department we all deserve a little vanity and self love from time to time.And if you already a diva, ROCK ON!! Don’t let anyone make you feel

Beautiful Skin and its Five Characteristics

August 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Article by Beautiful Facial Skin

Every woman desires beautiful skin which is also healthy skin. Here we take a look at what makes up beautiful skin that every woman dreams of having.

As you may know, skin is a protective film surrounding our body which prevents us from absorbing a lot of the harsh conditions from the atmosphere. Everyone’s skin is different and each person has a different sensitivity level for their skin. So we obviously need to take care of and maintain our skin to get that soft, smooth and beautiful look that everyone wants.1. Soft and Smooth Skin

Beautiful skin is soft and smooth.

Smooth skin is probably the number one qualification but not everyone is blessed with such smoothness from birth. Even if your skin was perfect from birth, without maintenance and skin care, it will be difficult to maintain or work towards great skin.

While it is true that beautiful skin is a gift, it is totally up to you as to whether your skin will be even more beautiful or not.2. Moist Skin

Beautiful skin is moist.

Moist skin is related to sebum which is the fancy word for skin oil. One of the components in sebum is NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor). NMF makes sure that the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) remains intact and keeps the outer skin smooth and moist. Additionally, sebum prevents the outer layer from losing water. It helps to retain 10-20% of water to moisten the skin and keep it shiny.3. Firm Skin

Beautiful skin is firm.

Firmness is related to the water contained in the inner skin. Components of collagen and elastic tissue in the inner skin is combined with water to create that firmness in our skin. In other words, we can have firm skin when the inner skin properly functions by containing sufficient water.4. No Pigmentation of the Skin

Beautiful skin is not burnt skin.

When our skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, it turns dark as it becomes pigmented due to melanin. At a younger age, it’s easier for our skin to recover but as we get older, it definitely becomes harder for our skin to revert back to its original condition. That is why doctors and other professionals recommend not to expose your skin for long hours under direct sunlight. Tans can be sexy but it’s also a monster against healthy and beautiful skin.5. Clean Outer Skin and Pores

Beautiful skin starts with clean skin.

Cleanliness is the basis of beautiful skin. Dirt and/or secretion in pores is the main cause of skin trouble. We can maintain clean and pure skin with strict deep cleansing and skin care.

In future posts, we’ll examine and provide details and guides on how to achieve each of the 5 points.

Beauty gift sets are great for Christmas because they are bundled packages of goodies and they aren’t something a woman would usually buy for herself.
