Beauty tips and tricks

Photobucket
Good morning everyone. :) Today I would like to share with you some of my beauty tips and tricks. Sick of chapped lips? Take an old toothbrush and gently exfoliate your lips when you are in the shower. Make sure you're already in the shower for quite some time. This will allow the lips to be moist and soft.


Don't forget to floss your teeth at least once a day and also brush your teeth twice a day. You'll notice the health of your gums will increase in a couple of months and  your breath won't smell as bad. Flossing helps in reducing the plague build up and food particles in the spaces between your teeth and also under the gum line. And so, the decomposition of bacteria will decrease = less bad smell. However, you still need to brush your teeth because brushing helps to get rid of the dirt and bacteria on the surface of the teeth. Also, remember to clean your tongue by scrapping it with a tongue-cleaning tool. This will ensure that you will have a clean, beautiful sparkling teeth and sensual lips. 




Here are the steps on flossing your teeth:
1.Starting with about 18 inches of floss, wind most of the floss around each middle finger, leaving an inch or two of floss to work with. 


2.Holding the floss tautly between your thumbs and index fingers, slide it gently up-and-down between your teeth



3. Gently curve the floss around the base of each tooth, making sure you go beneath the gumline. Never snap or force the floss, as this may cut or bruise delicate gum tissue. 



4. Use clean sections of floss as you move from tooth to tooth



5. To remove the floss, use the same back-and-forth motion to bring the floss up and away from the teeth


Two types of flosses you can use:
1. Nylon floss (available in unwaxed and waxed) 
2. PTFE floss. (more pricey than Nylon floss because it is more easy to slide in between your teeth)


P.S - Do not fret when you realise after flossing your gums is bleeding, it is normal. But do still remember to floss gently! (It might be because you flossed too hard) :)
