How can I look more 'fresh' and pretty?

Question

Hi, at the moment my skin looks dull and i have horrible bags under my eyes.

I exfoliate and moisturise but it doesn't work, i'm not aloud to wear makeup either.

I'm 13 by the way.

Answer 1

i was the same , i made a pact with myself not to wear any face make up like foundation , powder , blush , etc . for two weeks , and at the end my skin looked so much clearer it was amazing !

drink lots and lots of water , im talkin like 6 glasses a day up to 8 if you think you can take it lol . im guessing your on your holidays from school right ? like me then . cos you have time in the mornings now, have a bath first thing to freshen you up and use loads of scents and stuff to make you feel generally nice for the day . and go running in the morning even if its only for 10 minutes , it flushes away all the nasty toxins in your body that can help to ruin your skin . this way you can prepare yourself to look gorgeous for when you go back to school

:) :) :)

hope this helps ,

Answer 2

Keep up what you are doing. Also, try not to eat greasy foods and make sure you get enough sleep. There are products that "wake you up" by having a good scent. Get a product that smells good (such as Dove Lemongrass) and use it every morning!

Answer 3

eat healthy, by that i mean food that is alive. i say alive because fruit and vegetables are alive. follow the food triangle. they have them on most bread packages. cookies and other sweets should not be included. instead of icecream eat a soothie they are healthier, yummier, and fun to make. also get alot of rest,since you are 13, teenagers need more sleep than any baby or adult. since they are going through the most "changes".

Answer 4

you need a healthy diet,

lots of water

more than 6 portions of fruit and/or veg

early nights do the trick for your bags

in the morning use VERY cold water and splash your face.

get a flannel cover it in cold water then put in the freezer for 5 minutes it shocks your blood vessels in your eyes and makes them look more alive and less dull.

whatever you do DO NOT wear make up, it will make it look worse.

make sure you keep exfoliating and moisturising.

hope it helps, i'm sure you look gorgeous already!

Answer 5

if you have more sleep it will definatly help your bags and it makes your skin look fresher!

and it is good not wearing make up because it will make your skin worse!

eat alot of fruit will make your skin healthy!

Answer 6

heyy :)

im 13 too.

get some more sleep, if you have 100392893537 hours of homework to do like me, still get some sleep, its hard isnt it? sorry im driving off the point. i use this product called (nivea young) mattifying cream, its great, you put it on your face it makes it look fresh :) but being beautiful isnt wearing makeup all the time, like a full face of it, foundation, blush etc..

drink lots of water :D

eat healthy and exercise :)

you can wear eyeliner, on the bottom though, so its not so obvious. if u do use it, dont put it on the slippery skin bit of the bottom of your eye, actually put it on the skin thats on your face below your eye :) yehh you know what i mean lol, i hope :)

you can ask your local GP about your question..

smile!! i tihnk lots of ppl look prettier when they smile :D

i hope this helps,

best answer?

good luck,

Answer 7

Pure water and a high fruit and veg diet should do the trick.  Good Luck.

Answer 8

Your already doing well by exfoliating and mositurising at your age. Make sure you splash lots of cold water on your face during the day. Vaseline for your lips will make them look healthy and plump. Pinch your cheeks for a healthy glow and if you can secretley buy a cover up stick, then apply a little underneath your eyes and...no more bags!  

Answer 9

cover stick, bronzer, mascara? dont worry so much- you are 13 after all!! my mom would not let me wear makeup at your age.

Answer 10

Welcome to the club lol

Every morning wash your face with a really cold flannel, it will tighten up your face and give you a bright complexion ;)

Answer 11

lots of water, eat healthy, lots of sleep, less stress

Answer 12

Start Off By Drinking Plenty of Water, And Start Eating Fruit, Once You Start That, After About A Month You Will Definitely See The Difference. Your Diet Shows On Your Skin Always Remember That.

Don't Exfoliate Everyday By The Way, That Could Also Be A Problem, Exfoliate Every 3 Days, That's All You Need Or Else It Will Dry Out Your Skin And Take Away All The Natural Oils And That WILL Make Your Skin Look Dull. Use A Deep Moisturiser Every Morning & Night.

Also, Use A Deep Replenishing Face Mask Every 3 Days As Well.

This Will Work If You Take The Time To Try It

Answer 13

Do some research! Go to your library and find some books on natural body care and see if that helps.

Answer 14

Exercise whenever you can

Drink lots of water

Stay away from junk food and lots of sweets!

You'll be on your way to freshness ;)

Answer 15

Best way to change the appearance of your skin is by your lifestyle and what you eat/drink etc rather than what you apply externally to your skin.

Make sure that you get an adequate amount of sleep each night and keep hydrated during the day by drinking plenty of fluid - preferably water. Avoid consuming too much processed food and drink which is high in sugar and added chemicals.... instead go for fresh fruit and veg and whole foods that are naturally rich in the vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed to keep you skin looking healthy. It will also help you if you enjoy regular exercise and get lots of fresh air.

Try not to apply expensive, highly scented products to you face.... the simple, natural things will work better, especially at your age. Look for products which are not perfumed and which have only a few ingredients. Aloe vera gel, vitamin E, jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil are all good.

It's great that your not allowed to wear makeup... makeup is full of nasty stuff that basically your skin just doesn't need and which would only end up making it look duller in the long run - and probably give you spots as well. If you have a healthy life style, you'll never need make up to look beautiful anyway - and make sure you smile and laugh alot -  a happy face always looks fresh and pretty!

God luck, and hope this helped.

Answer 16

I'm around your age and I use Clearasil which makes my skin look really bright but not shiny. Try and get around 8 or 9 hours sleep and replace your drinks with water. When you do wear make-up always take it all off really gently without pulling at the skin on your eyes, which helped with my eyes, and if you feel really self conscious putting highlighter such as Touche Eclat or the No7 version will cover your eyebags and it isn't at all noticeable that you're wearing make-up. Also when you wash your face wash it first with warm water then splash it with very cold water which I was told closes the pores or something? Don't know the science but it makes my face bright!

Answer 17

eat healthy

be healthy mentally

Answer 18

uhm try to use powder .... and always wash your face if it is oily..
