Many of us think of the Do`s and Don`ts of beauty as just common sense, but we all need a little education from time to time and a little nudge in the right direction. While a certain portion of beauty Do`s and Don`ts may be a matter of opinion and there are exceptions to every rule, we`ve gathered a collection that will hopefully serve as a general guideline.

We`ll Start With the Do`s

The Do`s of beauty…

·    For skin health, DO use water-based and non-comedogenic products. Although you`d think that all beauty products are manufactured this way, don`t be fooled - some products still contain ingredients known to cause breakouts.

·    DO get rid of all cosmetic and beauty products within a reasonable amount of time. I don`t keep any products longer than eight weeks, whether or not they`re empty. You would be surprised at how build-up in cosmetics and products can cause irritation.

·    DO use sheers, shimmers, and pastels wherever and whenever you can. Beauty experts say everyone looks good in these shades and colors and since sheers and pastels reflect light, it gives any face a great natural glow.

·    DO choose the right colors for your skin tone, hair color, and eye color. Educate yourself on what your skin tone is and you`ll be amazed at how much of a change wearing the right colors can give your face.

·    DO spend the time and money to have it done right the first time. Whether you want a new shape for your brows, a new hair style or color, a cosmetic procedure - anytime you`re making any significant change to your appearance, DO spend the time and money to have it done by a qualified professional.

·    DO keep consistent beauty rituals. Beauty rituals are a great way to take time for yourself while giving your appearance the lift it deserves. A hot oil treatment for hair, an olive-oil soak for the cuticles, a waxing for the brows. I like to pick one day a week and do all of my beauty rituals at the same time - my own at home day of pampering!

Last But Not Least

Beauty don`ts....

·    There`s too many to list here because the possibility of beauty Don`ts is endless, but we`ll just skim the surface.

·    DON`T invest time and money in something just because it`s the latest trend. A lot of unsuspecting beauty shoppers lose money here - take the time to see if the promised results of certain products really pan out before investing.

·    DON`T go overboard on accentuating your features. It`s great that you love your eyes, lips, and hair equally, but big hair with lots of eye-makeup and dramatic lips? You see our point, right?

·    DON`T go for the made-up look. Keep it natural whenever you can - that means avoiding thick, black eyeliner, overpowering eyebrow shades, unnatural lipstick shades, and too much rouge.

·    DON`T forego daily upkeep of your skin. As tempting as it may be to forego this simple step, one of the best things we do for our skin is removing products and build-up before we go to bed.

·    And finally, DON`T forget that true beauty comes from the inside!
