Not everyone wants a complete makeover as some like to preserve a more natural appearance.  Let`s face it (no pun intended) many men are attracted to the low-maintenance, "girl-next-door" look, and accomplishing that can be just as challenging as looking model perfect.

So, how do you achieve a desirable look withou the heavy use cosmetics and makeup?  These natural beauty tips and advice will help you do just that, and put you on the path to beautiful, unaffected, you.

PRACTICE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Natural beauty is akin to an overall healthy appearance.  Start with a better lifestyle.  Your own attitudes and daily life reflects in how you look others.  Take care of your body, and it will take care of you.

Eat a proper, well-balanced diet.  Food that is good for you body helps your internal organs function properly, and shows on the outside as well.  The trick is to read the labels carefully, and eat healthy foods with minimal preservatives.  Good nutrition is key to your outward appearance and longevity.

The best skin in the world will not overcome a flabby body.  Get in good physical shape if you have been slacking off.  Set some reasonable fitness goals to get your body fit and trim.  Begin with short-term goals and set new ones once they are achieved.

SKIN CARE TIPS

Water plays a crucial role.  For radiant skin, stay hydrated to help keep your skin soft and supple.  Seal in water externally after a shower by applying lotion to damp skin.

Look for all-natural, organic and herbal recipes for basic skin problems.  Whether it is dry skin or blemishes, you can target the areas that need it most, foregoing chemicals that can be irritating to your skin.

As you age, you`ll hit some bumps along the way.  Care for your skin as you do your most prized possession, and you will see the benefits quickly, as well as years from now.

Don`t want leathery skin?  Lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by reducing exposure to the sun`s dangerous rays.  When enjoying outdoor activities, apply a sunscreen with SPF of at least 15 and re-applying when necessary.

WEARING MAKEUP, NATURALLY

If you wish to wear makeup, utilize only the best cosmetics brushes, and beauty tools to enhance your finest features, and cover flaws.  This allows you to apply only the amount that is needed while blending in any excess color.

Apply a tinted moisturizer or sheer foundation with a damp sponge.  Either one will allow your natural skin tone to show through while covering minor imperfections.

Creme or liquid blush blends more naturally than powder.  Apply to the apply of your cheeks, outwards, into your hairline to prevent makeup lines.

Don`t want to overdo your eyes?  You can now enhance your own eyelashes without adding clumps or colors.  New, clean mascara is available to spearate your lashes and give them luster and shine.

REDUCE STRESS

Stress is an unfortunate fact in today`s fast-paced lifestyle, and often reflects in your skin and eyes.  Make it routine to relax and pamper yourself, daily if possible.  This will give you time to slow down, and plan the following day.

Become aware of the facial expressions you make often make when stress-out.  If you raise your eyebrows often, you could very well end up with permanent wrinkles on your forehead.  If you squint because you do not understand something, lines between your brows many become evident.

We can not expect to live without facial expressions...That`s why they make wonderful moisturizers for your face.  Invest in a good moisturizer, use it twice a day, everyday, after you wash your face.

Show the world your beautiful smile, and you`ll never need a lot of makeup.
