7 Simple Beauty Boosts to Lift Your Mood ...

Alison Feb 24, 2015

During the cold, dark days of winter we often feel a little down. It's easy to neglect our beauty routine and stop bothering with makeup. But there are lots of simple beauty boosts that will cheer you up when you need a quick boost. So instead of hibernating until spring, try these easy tips to lift your mood …

1. Lipstick

Lipstick There's nothing like a new lipstick for cheering a girl up! Even when you're short of cash, a new lipstick need not be expensive. Choose a lovely bright color such as red. We often save red for special occasions, but you should wear it whenever you want, or whenever you need cheering up. So always have a red lipstick in your makeup bag.

2. Nail Art

Nail Art As lovely as lipstick is to wear, you can't see it unless you look in the mirror. But you can look at your nails any time you want. So brighten your mood by brightening your nails. With all the clever nail art around now, you can pick something that will make you smile every time you see it. Or just paint your nails a bright color, or with a sparkly polish.

3. Fragrance

Fragrance Why do we wear fragrance? Because it smells good. And that can brighten our mood. Choose a floral or citrus fragrance and wear it every day. This is especially good for winter days as it adds a cheerful note to the day. A good fragrance will last for hours, but if it fades reapply it to keep your mood upbeat.

4. Shower or Bath

Shower or Bath Enjoying a relaxing soak in the bath works to cheer most people up, especially if you use lots of bubbles and surround the bath with candles. Follow up with a luxurious body moisturiser to keep your skin soft. If you don't have time for a bath, shower with a citrus shower gel instead, which will help you feel refreshed and awake.

5. Fake Tan

Fake Tan Do you miss your summer tan? If being too pale in winter makes you feel dull, get a spray tan or use a fake tan at home. With its suggestion of summer sun, a fake tan will help you look more summery. Or if a fake tan is too time-consuming and laborious, use a bronzer on your face to give it that hint of a tan.

6. Sparkles

Sparkles Most little girls love sparkly things. But grown-up ones can also cheer themselves up with some of the sparkly makeup now available. Use a shimmery shadow or a sparkly nail polish to brighten up your mood. You could even use a body lotion with a hint of shimmer so that you glow all over!

7. Get Moving

Get Moving Beauty is also about health - you can't feel gorgeous if you're not feeling good. So get your body moving with some exercise or dance. Doing something energetic will bring a flattering flush to your cheeks, as well as get the endorphins going. Go for a run, dance around your living room, or go to an exercise class.

Of course, you can try these tips at any time of year, but your mood is most likely to need a boost in winter. These simple tips will give your mood the helping hand it needs. What's your favorite way of cheering yourself up?
