9 Beauty Tips to Look Good When You’re Sick

1.  DE-PUFF THOSE PUFFY EYES 

Congestion can cause puffy eyes.  Try to sleep with two pillows under your head slightly propped up to allow fluids to drain more easily from your face.   In the morning, take two cold wet tea bags and place them over your eyes while you lie down for 15 minutes (try to find the time to schedule it in :)).  A great way to de-puff those puffy eyes!

2.  COOL THE CREAM

Put your eye cream in the fridge.  The cooling will help fight puffy eyes and will also refresh tired eyelids.

3.  PRIME AWAY

There is no way you will escape sneezing and rubbing your eyes when you’re sick with a flu.  Remember to apply a face primer on top of your moisturizer but under your foundation to keep your makeup on longer throughout the day.

4.  CONCEAL DARK UNDER EYES AND REDNESS

Having a red nose is the biggest sign you’ve got a cold.  Use a full coverage concealer in a yellow undertone to camouflage the redness.

5.  LESS IS MORE

When your sick, your skin tends to be dry (inside & out), so try to wear less of your regular foundation.  As an alternative choose a natural coverage BB Cream or tinted moisturizer to even out your complexion without making the skin look dry.

 6.  WARM UP YOUR SKIN 

Adding some color to your skin always makes you look fresher (sick or not).  Take down any pinkness and highlight the warmness in your skin by dusting a natural looking bronzer along your cheekbones and then lightly dusting it all over your face and neck.  Use a peachy blush along the apples of your check and don’t forget to finish off the look with a bit of a natural looking highlighter.  You look as good as ever!

7.  BRIGHTEN UP YOUR EYES

Dab pale, shimmery beige or gold creamy eye shadow on your lids and at the inner corner of your eyes to catch the light and to counteract any redness or dullness in the eye area.

 8.  AVOID RUNNY MASCARA

Sneezes and sniffles mean watery eyes and potential smudging. To avoid a washout, stick with waterproof mascara.

9.  KEEP LIPS SMOOTH AND SHINY

When you’re stuffed up, your lips have a tendency to get super-chapped. Rub them gently with a warm, wet washcloth to remove any flakes, and then condition with a rich salve or balm. Stick with tinted lip balm or gloss in a neutral tone for a fresh look.

For youthful skin, eat healthy

A beautiful, radiant and glowing skin is every girl's dream. It's easy to achieve it by avoiding sugar as much as possible and by eating products such as olive oil, avocado and macadamia nut oil.
Doctor Stefanie Williams shares simple changes to your nutrition intake that will greatly impact your skin, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
- Cut out the sugar: The less sugar we eat, the better it is. Many natural sweeteners like honey and agave syrup are high in fructose and should also be avoided as should sugary fruits (tropical fruits are the worst), fruit juice and dried fruit. Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame should be strictly avoided. Not only are they nasty chemical substances, but they have also been connected to obesity and diabetes.
- Eat more healthy fat: One of the crucial things our body and our skin needs for long-term health is fat. Studies have shown that eating more fat makes our skin more elastic and less wrinkly. The increase in fat consumption has to be done in conjunction with sugar and grain reduction. Monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocado and macadamia nut oil are well-known to be good for us.

- Greatly reduce your grain and starch intake: Most people believe that a diet rich in grains is good for health; whole grains in particular are touted as especially healthy. But starches, the carbohydrates in grains, are simply long strings of sugar molecules and eating them will still make our skin and body age prematurely.
- Eat lots of vegetables: Vegetables will also provide you with plenty of fibre and antioxidants. However, make sure to cut down on starchy vegetables, as they can have a surprisingly strong effect on our blood sugar level. For example roast parsnips can bring up our blood sugar more than pure table sugar. Good fruit options are berries, as they are relatively low in sugar and high in antioxidants.
- Don't forget your daily protein: Protein provides important building blocks for our entire body. However, our body has little capacity to store protein. So, to supply our body and skin with all it needs, we have to provide it with sufficient amounts of protein on a daily basis.
- Spice up your life: Herbs and spices including rosemary, garlic, curcumin and cinnamon are a great addition to any skin health and longevity eating plan. Not only do spices greatly add flavour and variety of our food, but they also contain bioactive substances with positive effects on general health, skin and life span.
