Angela Garvin’s alarm goes off at 6.30am every day. As a legal adviser, she has to be up early, and has a strict skin regime to get through.First, she cleanses her face, then she dabs on some toner — and reaches for a bottle of shaving gel. She applies it across her chin, top lip and a small area around her neck. Then, using a men’s disposable razor, she carefully shaves her face, rinsing the fine, pale hairs down the basin as she goes. To finish, she rinses with warm water and applies moisturiser.According to beauty enthusiasts

#BEAUTYSCHOOL: HOW TO MAKE YOUR PERFUME LAST
Question: I can barely smell my fragrance on my skin an hour or two after spraying it—what can I do to make it last longer?
Answer: If you've been wearing the same perfume for years or even months, you've likely become desensitized to smelling it on yourself, which is why it feels like it's not working. But that doesn't mean that others can't smell it, so resist the urge to spritz on more than you did when you first started wearing it. Instead, follow these tips.
WHY YOU SHOULD RINSE YOUR HAIR WITH CHAMPAGNE
One of our favorite hair salons, Oscar Blandi, is offering exclusive treatments that celebrate all things Yuletide, with rinses that smell like the candy canes you've been eating by the handful and treatments that make your hair shine like the champagne you've been guzzling sipping at all your holiday parties. And beyond just being wonderfully winter-y, each treatment works magic for your hair, promising more volume and envy-worthy shine in addition to those "I rinsed my hair with champagne" bragging rights.
THE 24-HOUR BOOB JOB
Cinderella's fairy godmother turned a tattered dress and a pumpkin into a shimmering gown and a lavish ride. Remember, though, there was one catch: The makeover lasted only until midnight. With his InstaBreast technique, Norman Rowe, a New York plastic surgeon, is playing fairy godmother to women temporarily seeking larger, fuller breasts, but his handiwork also lasts for only one night. In about 20 minutes, you can go from flat-chested to cleavage-proud.
EVERYDAY HABITS THAT ARE CAUSING YOUR BOOBS TO SAG
We hate to deliver depressing news, but the fact is, some breast sag is inevitable. Having a baby, breastfeeding, and racking up more birthdays all contribute to a loss of elasticity of collagen, the connective tissue under the skin—leaving your set more deflated than firm. Sag can also be a matter of genetics. If your mother had a droopy pair, you might be predisposed to one, too (thanks, Mom!).
11 WAYS TO USE HONEY TO GET MORE GORGEOUS SKIN, HAIR AND NAILS
Honey's often thought of as a healthier sweetener, but you might be surprised to learn that this ingredient has tons of skin and hair benefits, too. Made by the alchemy of bees collecting nectar, pollen, and resins from flowers, honey can help moisturize, fight aging, and fight bacteria. Plus, it’s loaded with nutrients, antioxidants, and healing compounds. Next time you’re browsing the grocery store shelves, look for raw honey, which hasn't been heat-treated or pasteurized; it contains more active phytonutrient antioxidants and enzymes for enhanced benefits. Here are a few ways to put the ingredient to use (sometimes with the help of some other natural ingredients).

WHEN YOU SHOULD BE USING LIP LINER
Question: When should I be using lip liner and what's the best way to apply it? Answer: Lip liner is to lipstick what primer is to foundation or a base coat is to nail polish—it's not crucial, but it does make your lipstick look better and last longer. Here's when to consider using one:
HOW TO GIVE YOURSELF A CANNABIS FACIAL
If you, like us, appreciate a good mind-blowing fact, then here's a humdinger: Did you know that THC—the main psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana—is actually an antioxidant? It's also an anti-inflammatory (though, given weed's reputation to dull pain, that might seem more obvious). What this also means is that the cannabis plant has major topical benefits as well.
In other words, get ready, because it's time to give your skin a contact high.
