In the past few years, you may have noticed that there has been a big swing in the world of beauty and makeup trends. Whilst the 2010s were very much about the magic that could be created with cosmetics, the 2020s look set to be a decade that encourages people to return to a more scaled back, natural aesthetic. Of course, the irony of ‘natural’ is that it isn’t just a case of throwing away your makeup and quitting your good habits! In order to achieve the kind of look that is celebrated in a natural sense, there are still a few tips and tricks that you should be following. With all of this in mind, here are some of the best tips for enhancing your natural beauty.
● Practice Good Skincare
If achieving a natural look is your key goal, then practicing good skincare is absolutely essential. Solidify a regular, consistent routine of cleanser, moisturisers, serums and sunscreen in order to put your skin in the best possible condition that it can be. Doing this will enable you to wear less makeup on the occasions that you do want to use cosmetics. For example, a lighter foundation or an absence of concealer. And always, always, always, remove any makeup before you go to bed!
● Stay As Hydrated As Possible
Drinking eight large glasses of water per day is the best thing that you can do to boost your natural beauty from the inside out. When a body is sufficiently hydrated, the skin is plumper, smoother, more elastic and overall more ‘glowy’. It is this ‘glowiness’ that is one of the most celebrated and sought after aspects of natural beauty.
● Maintain A Healthy And Balanced Diet
Just like water, the right kinds and amounts of food are also essential for keeping your body and skin in the best condition to evoke and highlight your natural beauty. Plenty of fruits and vegetables should be on the daily menu, and the less processed food you have, the better. Of course, natural beauty is linked with happiness, so don’t be afraid to treat yourself every now and then to maintain that smile as well as that glowing skin!
● Get Enough Sleep
Not getting enough sleep is one of the worst things you can do for your skin. People who have short and irregular sleeping patterns are much more prone to developing things like dark under eye circles, puffiness and dull looking skin. Make the effort to get a good eight hours of shut eye every night and you will find that your mind and body respond to the day in a much better way.
● Use Minimal Makeup
And finally, the trick to natural beauty, even if you want to enhance it a little bit with the right products, is using them sparingly enough so that your natural features still come through. Avoid excessive contouring, and always use shades that complement your natural skin tone. Use makeup to flatter rather than draw attention.
