Spring it UP :)

With Spring Break just around the corner I cannot help but get excited about the coming of a new season. The fact that here in Blagoevgrad, we’ve had almost no snow, all positive temperatures and quite a lot of sunshine even in January and February has naturally helped my mood build up even more. My birthday is on the middle of March, so spring is the time when I really come alive. Spring also means some important beauty updates. While in winter we tend to cover up, in spring it is good to show off. Here are my basic transition rules to prepare for this wonderful season, which brings us so many new things.

Lighter and Brighter! – Winder is a dark season for beauty. We wear dark or neutral colors, more layers of makeup and heavier shades. In spring you need to make everything light and bright, so throw on some girly red/pink, or romantic blue/green. Garnish is with shimmery illuminating eye shadows and glossy rosy lips. Go easier on the eyeliner and the mascara. Too much blackness in the eyes does not look good in the spring daylight. As for the nails – when March comes, I personally go crazy on the colors!

Time for sun protection! – You probably have already heard a lot about the harmful influence of sun rays on the skin. I love the sun and like to stay in it as much as possible. But to enjoy it safely you need to start using sunscreen as early as springtime. Of course, that does not mean you need to wear beach lotion, because the sun is not yet that strong. But look for products with SPF in terms of foundation/facial crème, lip balms and low-factor body lotions and make sure to treat any parts of your body that stay in the sun for longer. Remember, even if it is not that hot, the sun still affects you.

Freshen up your face ;) – Back to the DIY topic, there are a few home remedies that you can do to freshen up your face and get rid of the dead skin cells piled up from winter. For what I use – mix some sea salt with milk and honey. Apply it to your face and stay with it for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy the softness after!

Peel the Orange Skin… - Cellulite is one of the words every girl shrieks at, even at its mere mention. NOW is the time to pay attention to it, because soon you will be getting rid of many layers of clothing. Exfoliate the problematic skin daily with a product of your liking. I am using one from Avon – Planet Dead Sea Minerals. If you want to go further use an anti-cellulite crème. I am happy with Eveline Slim Extreme 3D. All that, of course, go on top of your daily exercise routine to prepare a hot beach body for the summer :PpP

That’s it from my spring tips. Hit the drugstores if you need any new beauty products, but most importantly get your spring mood on. Happy spring break to everyone, who still has one!
