1. How to give yourself a facial

Facials are good for cleaning the dirt out of your face, cleansing spots and having a good 15 minutes of relaxation! Facials should only be done once or twice a week or less it depends what time you have on your hands. The first step is to apply a bit of cleansing lotion to some cotton wool (or a flannel) , rub all over face and leave for 2 minutes (2 slices of cucumber over eyes makes the facial more relaxing, optional). Then get another piece of cotton wool and rub it off gently. After that, apply facial toner to some cotton wool and rub over face, leave on for 1 minute and wipe off with cotton wool. All products you can get from simple skin care range, garnier and other skin care products.

2. Quick daily face routines

This will tell you how to get up in the morning and do a quick routine to make yourself look awake. In the morning, don't wash your face with soap, it drys off your skin and makes it De-hydrated so just splash warm water in your face to wake you up. One idea is to rub Vaseline around your eyes, leave for five minutes and wipe off. Another is to buy a facial spay, they work and wake you up. Spray in face and don't wipe off.

3. What to do if you have an allergic reaction on your face

Sometimes people get allergic reactions to harsh wind or certain make-up products, these are ways to solve them. Wipe your face clean with a sensitive facial wipe and plaster your face in a face moisturiser, make sure it is not harsh to your skin. Or you can put your face in a bowl of ice and water and dont dry off. Also, don't wipe your face too hard with towels or any material, do it gently. If none of these methods work for you, see your GP and ask for some cream or tablets to ease the allergies.

4. Ways to solve bad breath

Many poeple suffer from bad breath and they dont know why. Some methods for curing back breath are to drink 4 big glasses of water a day, you might be de-hydrated and that can cause your breath to smell. Water is aslo good for clearing your insides and getting great skin. Another way is to brush your teeth more than usual, wheather its 3 or 4 times a day. Or you can get some tooth picks and clean inbetween your teeth, there is so much plaque and bacteria in there that it can cause bad breath.

5. How to cleanse spots properly

This will tell you how to cleanse spots properly, it might be painful but it solves the problem. First of all, you need to know that it is ok to squeeze a spot if you want to. Some poeple prefer squeezing them but some dont and its up to you. If you do want to squeeze it then you need to cleanse your face before hand to clean all of the dirt out of your face to prevent any future spots. Then you need leave some space around the spot for it to come out and squeeze! Make sure nothing is in the spot because if it is, it will grow back bigger because the root hasn't been taken out. After you have squoze the spot, it will leave scar for a few days but it will not come back again.
If you don't want to squeeze a spot then you can try this method. Wash your skin thoughorly and pat with a damp towel. Wrap an ice cube in a clean hanky and hold over the spot for a minute or two whilst it brings down the swelling. Then, dip the end of a cotton bud in some diluted tea tree oil (available from your chemist) and dot a tiny amount directly on the spot. Leave to get better.

6. Quick make-up tips

The first thing you need to know with make-up is that you need to use the colours that suit your skin tone, for instance:

Tanned or Dark skin, hair and eyes: bronzes, browns, tanned colours, pale or nude lipglosses and lipsticks
Pale skin, light coloured eyes (blue,green): stick to your pastel colours, pinks, blues, greens and nude colours (not strong colours like black or red.

Never wear too much of any make-up wheather its eyeliner, foundation or blusher, you could end up looking like a clown. Try and wear as little make-up as you can, remember, nobody needs too much make-up.
