The top 10 beauty tips for 2024. Get some curls and moisturise below your chin

1. Eyelash curlers are your best friend

You’ve probably seen these odd-looking things somewhere. Or maybe you even own some but are scared to use then? Let’s get into it. Eyelash curlers curl your lashes perfectly and open up your eyes. Just remember that you should only use them with clean, makeup-free lashes. Remember to open the curlers before clamping down!

2. ‘BH’ and retinol

Retinol products are little miracles in a bottle. And if you know what BH90210 means, then your cosmetic arsenal simply has to include retinol. It speeds up skin regeneration and the rate of cell renewal, unifies your skin tone and softens wrinkles. If you’re unfamiliar with ‘BH’ but suffer from acne, retinol could help you too. 

3. Cosmetics don’t belong in the bathroom

Do you keep your favourite skin products and makeup on the bathroom shelf? Then you’re not doing it right. The high level of moisture in the air reduces their shelf life and bacteria and other grime collect on them more quickly. So just leave your makeup removal products in the bathroom and move the rest to your bedroom, for example.

4. Refresh your look with a nude eye pencil

Nude eye pencils have been makeup artists’ secret weapon for years. If you have tired eyes, have been crying all night or want to optically enlarge your eyes, a pencil does it all. Apply to your lower inner eye line and you’re done. The nude colour optically removes pinkness, brightening and opening up your eyes. 

5. A red lipstick just makes life better. That’s a fact!

Red lipsticks improve your life. It’s confirmed by experts. Waitresses who wear them get better tips and women who prefer this colour are perceived as friendly and capable in the workplace. If you’re afraid to go full red for the first time, feel free to dab a bit on lightly with your fingertips and add more day by day. You soon won’t be able to live without scarlet lips.

6. Protect your hair from heat

You already know that a healthy scalp makes for healthy hair, and the way to achieve that is (not only) through regular blow-drying. But to keep your hair in tip-top shape, use a heat protection product before drying. That also applies if you straighten or curl your hair after blow-drying.

7. Don’t forget to moisturise your neck.  Don’t stop at your chin

Do you put lots of effort into your complexion, but all that stops once you reach your chin? That’s a mistake. If you want your youthful-looking face to be accompanied by a younger-looking neck, be sure to use all your facial products down to your chest. Including SPF products and facial serums.

8. Get wavy hair at miraculous speeds

In a rush or simply don’t know how to curl your hair into waves? Try this: Use a hair elastic to tie your hair into a high ponytail, divide it into 5 sections, spray with heat protection and use curling tongs to make each section wavy. Then let your hair down and run your fingers through it. If needed, arrange the waves around your face, spray with hairspray and head out on your daily adventure.

9. No blusher? No way.

Blusher is just a godsend. It gives your face a lift and generally brightens your complexion. You can use it instead of eyeshadow or to powder your lipstick for a luxurious velvet effect. And depending on where your apply the blusher, you can optically alter your face. Apply to the apples of your cheeks for a youthful look or high on your cheekbones for optically lifted contours.

10. Hydrate

Not just by drinking regularly, but also by frequently moisturising your whole body, arms and legs. If you’re as dry as a prune, apply your favourite body lotion to damp skin. You’ll give it an extra dose of hydration. Moisturise your legs every evening. Feel free to put socks on so that the cream doesn’t get on your duvet. Get yourself a mini version of your favourite hand cream so that you can moisture any time during the day.
