How to brighten dull skin

 

 

These simple tips can help you look and feel amazing. You deserve to glow from the inside out. 

 

1. Breathe 

Breathing techniques have so many benefits for the mind, body and face. Breathing helps reduce stress, relax and bring us to a state of  calm, so we can refocus on our day. Take a few moments each day to breathe in through the nose, allowing the abdomen to rise, and breathe out through the nose to allow the abdomen to lower. 

 

2. Facial exercise and facial massage 

We all have so much healing power in our  own hands. Using this to massage and exercise our faces, can help to relax muscles in our face, calm our minds, boost circulation and energy helping you to look and feel less stressed with a radient glow. 

 

3. Gratitude and positive thinking 

Positive thinking and gratitude can help us to feel more positive about our appearance. Take a moment to look in the mirror and write down all your negative thoughts about your appearance. Then say 'I let go of this negative self image' rip up the paper and throw it away. Take a new piece of paper and write down everything good about your appearance. Then look in the mirror and say 'I LOVE AND ACCEPT WHO I AM' even if you do not believe it at first, keep saying this and it will become more natural. 

 

4. Choosing the good skin care and make up
