There is a fast, smart way to look great all the time. There are a lot of ways you can look great without having to put a lot of money and time into it. Here are some tips from the professionals.
Steam your face. You can do this by placing your face over a hot bowl of water with a towel over your head. This will open up your pores and draw out impurities and bacteria. You should clean your face, then rinse it with cold water so you close your pores back up.
Apply a few tablespoons of sweet almond oil to your warm bath for a relaxing treat that will leave even the roughest, driest skin feeling supple and soft. You can also apply it sparingly to extremely dry and damaged hair - but only on the inch or so above the ends.
Cracked heels and dry, flaking feet are very unattractive, especially in sandals. To combat this problem, right before you go to bed, soak your feet in a warm water bath for ten minutes, coat them with petroleum jelly and then cover them with a thick pair of socks to lock in the moisture. In no time, you'll have soft feet.
If you have very narrow eyes, you can create the illusion that they are more widely opened by first using an eyelash curler to curl your top lashes. Apply a dark brown mascara to the middle lashes, then tilt the wand diagonally and apply the mascara to the outer lashes.
Stay hydrated to help the youthfulness of your skin. When the skin is dehydrated, it will become wrinkly and dull looking. Therefore, make sure to drink eight or more glasses of water every day. If you are finding it difficult to drink eight glasses of water for lack of taste, add a little flavor with a splash of lemon or cranberry juice. This will dramatically improve your skin.
Pat moisturizer into your skin instead of rubbing it. Most people rub their moisturizer into their skin. This can actually disperse the moisturizer to different parts of your skin or even remove most of it entirely. Try patting it over your skin instead. Your skin will absorb it more evenly.
Use cucumbers or rosewater to eliminate those dark circles under your eyes. These have natural properties that lighten the skin and cool your eye area.

Exfoliating your body prior to applying tanning lotion or spending time in a tanning bed will extend the life of your tan!

Make sure to wear sunscreen to prolong your skin's youthful appearance. Do not assume that sunscreen should be used in the summertime only; to keep it free of wrinkles where it in the winter too. Your hands and face are the places your skin is most at risk during winter.
