Beat Stress and Rejuvenate Yourself

You have had a grueling day in your office with many more hours to go. Besides you need to look spruced up for that important meeting. Here are some quick ways to beat the stress and rejuvenate yourself.

Dim the lights, dampen a napkin and cover your face with it pressing it lightly around your eyes. Slump into the chair in a relaxed position. Leave arms and legs loose at your sides. Loosen every muscle in your body working from toes to face. Work the relaxation up slowly and stay limp for 5 minutes at the end of which you will feel thoroughly relaxed and raring to go.

Clean your face with facial tissue. Then apply moisturizer all over the face and neck. Then dab on the compact. Run a brush through your hair and apply mascara. Use either automatic roll-on, or liquid or cake mascara. Use the one you find the easiest. They all coat the lashes well. Cover the brush with a light coating of mascara and stroke on the lashes working from the base to the tip. The lower lashes should be tinted with colour. To prevent the mascara from smudging, whenever you apply it on the lower lashes, slip a piece of paper underneath before you paint them. Now take a lip pencil and fill the entire lips by blending in from the edges. To make the lipstick last longer, apply, then blot with tissue and reapply. Apply blusher by smiling and placing colour on the apple of the cheeks using a circular motion. Blend upwards and outwards until there are no lines to indicate where the blusher begins and where it ends. Do not ignore your eyebrows. Comb or at least brush them up with your fingers. If you have scanty eyelashes then take an eyebrow pencil and fill up the sparse areas. The eyebrow should be refashioned by a series of fine lines but never drawn in a solid line.

Perfume should be used as a finishing touch to good grooming. A dainty perfume helps a woman to create an aura of loveliness and appear alluring and attractive always. Use it on the throat, ear lobes, behind the ears, wrist, nape of the neck, temples, inside the crook of the elbows and chest. Perfume applied on these pulse spots stays alive because of the warmth of the skin at these places. The body heat releases the fragrance and you will give our a fragrance wonderfully feminine.

All these sprucing up will not take more than five minutes and then your are ready to go and attend that all important meeting.
