My Top 10 Beauty Tips

Tip #1: SMILE – You look more attractive and you attract goodness into your life!
Tip #2: Establish a Daily Skin Care Routine Using ORGANIC Products- 
Twice a Day:
1. Cleanse
2. Tone
3. Skin Condition
4. Moisturise
5. Eye Gel
6. During the day also use Sunscreen (use products especially for the face)

Weekly: 

2-3x a week Exfoliate after cleansing
1x a week either a purifying or hydrating mask depending on what your skin needs
Tip #3: Always wear Sunscreen. Nothing ages you faster than the sun - so protect those fresh exfoliated skin cells everyday!!! Even when the sun is behind the clouds - you get even more sun exposure on cloudy days than clear.  When you are having fun in the sun, remember to reapply about every 2 hours! My Favourite is De Vita Spf 30+ Solar Body Block.
Tip #4: Moisturise Day and Night! To keep your skin smooth & supple. Massage it into your skin so that it re-activates your blood circulation and helps reduce cellulite. A Body Mist is perfect for girls on the go and don’t forget about Hand Crème - I keep one in my handbag, one in the car and one at home.
Tip #5: Eat Your Greens! Eating whole fresh fruits and vegetables (organic is Best) as opposed to sweets and processed.  Swap a Chocolate Bar with grapes, cherries or mixed nuts and swap packeted chips with carrots and celery. Or my essential- Avocado J It is just a simple and known fact that fruits and veges are filled with the goodness that your body needs. Try not to eat junk food the majority of the time just because it is easier and more convenient. Remember what you put in you will get out.

Tip #6: Stay hydrated with Fresh Water - not softdrink, black tea, or bottled juices (of course you can have those things in moderation, but not in place of water). Just think how your skin and hair would look if you only took a shower in softdrink - you would be a sticky dirty mess very shortly - that is what your insides look like if you only drink sugary drinks- and what is on your insides quickly transfers to the outside. So drink plenty of fresh water all day long and keep it in a glass or tin water bottle. NO PLASTIC.

PS: Strictly keep drinking alcohol to a bare minimum. This is a no brainer. All it will do is give you a hangover, put your organs under stress and dehydrate you and your skin severely. You can still be the life of the party drinking iced water Instead lol It will keep you replenished after you tear up that dance floor and it will also ensure that you are not stumbling home, heels in hand and being mortified the next morning at the messy photos taken of you. Keep it Classy.
Tip #7: Give Yourself Manicure & Pedicure Regularly. You don’t even need to go to the salon, just keep your nails well manicured & painted. It is really pretty and polishes off your look. Hot Pink is my signature colour but when I’m filming I go with a glossy nude shade.

Tip #8: Find your Perfect Eyebrow Shape & Maintain It. The shape of your brow is one of the most important facial 
features because properly defined eyebrows will frame your eyes and make them look bigger. It also gives your face a polished look and can even create an illusion of a face lift.  Unruly bushy eyebrows that are shapeless can ruin any make-up effect you try to create and looks messy. And from experience always be clear about what you want. A great example is Megan Fox, she has great eyebrows
Tip #9: Apply Mascara. Mascara is a beauty bare necessity as it instantly opens and defines your eyes. Long and Thick Lashes make you look very pretty. I am still scouting for the Best Mascara as I have yet to find one I adore. Lancome has been the best for me so far but if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!
Tip #10: Get your Beauty Sleep! Your skin does so much repair work at night and if you cheat yourself on sleep you are cheating your skin on it’s down time to repair and detoxify. So try for 8 hours or as close as you can get - Sweet Dreams!
*PLEASE NOTE: Before you consume or use any of the above skincare products - Read the labels and Consult with your doctor first. I am just sharing my routine that has personally worked for me. If you are not able to use or take these products due to allergies or any other reasons, please DO NOT.
