Hi lovelies,

Beauty is a physical and psychological interpretation of what looks good to or on a person. In most cases, what classifies as beautiful lends credence to building and maintaining self-confidence. Did you know attractiveness goes beyond how you look? It is also about how to take care of yourself and how you feel about your looks. Self-confidence boosts the emotional and mental capacities of an individual, which reflects on their overall outlook. In a study, 81% of women admitted to practicing regular self-care routines. Out of this, 45% revealed their self-confidence is a result of beauty routines. Here are some beauty secrets you can use to boost your self-confidence.

1. Regular steam facials
Steam unlocks your pores and helps to loosen and deep cleanse any dirt accumulation on (and under) the skin. By opening up the skin pores, the steam begins to soften black and whiteheads. Ultimately, these are easier to remove after such self-care treatments. The combination of warm steam and perspiration improves blood circulation in the face as the warm mist dilates blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow with ease. To reduce the risk of scalding your epidermis and causing complications such as scarring, dermatologists recommend using steam facials once a week if you have normal skin. However, if you are battling acne, pimples, and clogged pores, it is advisable to do so twice a week.

2. Stay hydrated
In all the beauty treatments you may add to your routine, increasing your water intake comes with many advantages. Water keeps your skin supple and gives it a constant glow. As you go about your day, you shed dead skin cells. Your body requires moisture, which you get from water, to regenerate these dead cells. In addition to increasing your water intake, you should form a habit of moisturizing your skin regularly. A moisturizer helps the outermost part of the skin to hold water for longer, which prevents dryness. Also, an excellent moisturizing base helps bring out the fiercest eyeshadow in the most pigmented eyeshadow palettes.

3. Indulge in professional skin treatments
Sometimes, professional skin treatment is what you need to give your appearance that needed  self-confidence boost. Admittedly, not all your beauty routines are home regimens; a professional is well-trained to diagnose and treat those skin concerns you hide under makeup. For example, Rosacea, sun spots, acne scars, among others, require expert help. In addition to the specialized care, you should endeavor to eat a well-balanced meal regularly, have adequate sleep, and hit the gym. Your entire body will benefit from the excellent results of altering your lifestyle to boost appearance and confidence.

Beauty plays a role in your level of confidence. Being happy with your appearances builds your self-esteem, which in turn builds your confidence. Making deliberate efforts to have a healthier and more radiant body gives you the power of a thousand suns and all the confidence you need to make yourself a better you.
