Ten deadly beauty sins

Ten deadly beauty sins



If you were to take a peep back in history at all the mistakes that people make in their attempts to look good, then there really are some classic ones that apply to us all. It isn't just celebrities. It is every person on earth that wants to produce a look that can make those kind of mistakes that produce the opposite effect to that desired, making someone look silly. We joke about it, and even produce comedy sketches and cartoons about the way women present themselves, though how many of us really take note of the areas that affect who we appear to be ?

There's a rather nice expression used frequently in the UK which is used when a woman doesn't want to look like she is dressed up to look younger than she is and fails.

Mistake number one would apply to those ladies that don't color their roots, since the whole look is damaged and tacky, and worse than presenting their hair in the wonderful color that God gave them.

TWO NAKED TRUTH

We all like our skin to look good and to feel young and firm. Products promise the earth, though those abrasive exfoliating products used too harshly can cause health hazards. Little do we know as we scrub away at that top layer of protective skin that it's protection is being minimized by what we do. Used gently, exfoliators take away that layer of dead skin, though many women scrub away harshly at their skin, hoping it will make it softer. The vulnerability of skin that has lost it's top protective surface is that it makes it permeable, and able to absorb chemicals.
