The World’s Best Beauty Tips

December 1, 2010 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Technology makes the world into a smaller place. It's no problem to "visit" other cultures through television and the Internet. Savvy women know that while there is plenty to learn about beauty in their own backyard, they can also learn beauty tips from women in other parts of the world.

Technology makes the world into a smaller place. It's no problem to "visit" other cultures through television and the Internet. Savvy women know that while there is plenty to learn about beauty in their own backyard, they can also learn beauty tips from women in other parts of the world.

Mexico

Hands are one of the first parts of your body to show your age. For the best hand treatment, do what the women of Mexico do. An excerpt from the "Dr. Oz Show" website, shows that women in Mexico make a paste using sugar and lemon juice. After you combine the mixture into a paste, rub it on your hands. The citric acid in the lemon will fade any age spots you may have, and the sugar will slough off any dead skin. This paste is also good for your elbows and knees. You will end up with gorgeous, glowing skin after using the paste. Don't do this if you have cuts on your hands, because the lemon juice will sting.

Greece

The women of Greece, as explained at the "Dr. Oz Show" website, use olive pits as their favorite beauty ingredient. They grind up the pits and use them as a body scrub. Olive oil is good for you internally because of the fatty acids, and it is just as good for you externally, according to the "Dr. Oz Show" website Besides using ground-up olive pits as a body scrub, you can use them as a lip gloss. Using ground olive pits as a body scrub is one of actress Sophia Loren's beauty secrets, according to the "Dr. Oz Show" website.

China

Chinese women use green and white teas, both antioxidants, as their beauty ingredients. Antioxidants provide a sort of shield against free radicals. Free radicals are unstable compounds that attack human cells, according to WebMD. Free radicals are everywhere, in the air, in our foods, in sunlight and in pollution. Free radicals damage the skin and age us. To use green tea as a beauty ingredient, use green tea powder, not the leaves. Then, brew white tea and mix some of the white tea with the green tea powder, and make a facial mask out of it. Squeeze a little lemon in also, to give yourself a glow. This mask helps to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. While you are wearing your mask, go ahead and drink some of that tea you just brewed.

America

You can get some great make-up tips from the United States. The Ultimate Cosmetics website recommends you put some foundation on your eyelids before putting on eyeshadow. The eyeshadow will stay on longer if you do. If you have oily skin and spend a lot of money on blotting papers, try using perm papers instead. They are much less expensive and work just as well. For juicy-looking lips, apply a lip balm before putting on lipstick.
